Answer:
10.1 N
Explanation:
Your answer is 10.1 N, I don't actually know how to do it but I hope it helps.
The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by

where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.
The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:

In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so

. Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until

is

And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.
Answer:
The displacement of the volleyball is 2.62 m
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the volleyball, u = 7.5 m/s
final velocity of the volleyball, v = 2.2 m/s
displacement of the volleyball, d = ?
Apply the following kinematic equation;
v² = u² - 2gd
2gd = u² - v²

Therefore, the displacement of the volleyball is 2.62 m
Answer:
The answer to the question is
The distance d, which locates the point where the light strikes the bottom is 29.345 m from the spotlight.
Explanation:
To solve the question we note that Snell's law states that
The product of the incident index and the sine of the angle of incident is equal to the product of the refractive index and the sine of the angle of refraction
n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂
y = 2.2 m and strikes at x = 8.5 m, therefore tanθ₁ = 2.2/8.5 = 0.259 and
θ₁ = 14.511 °
n₁ = 1.0003 = refractive index of air
n₂ = 1.33 = refractive index of water
Therefore sinθ₂ =
=
= 0.1885 and θ₂ = 10.86 °
Since the water depth is 4.0 m we have tanθ₂ =
or x₂ =
=
= 20.845 m
d = x₂ + 8.5 = 20.845 m + 8.5 m = 29.345 m.
Because the direction of the kicks are opposite, the net force between the applied forces is their difference.
Fn = F₂ - F₁
Substituting,
Fn = 15 N - 5 N
Fn = 10 N
From Newton's second law of motion,
Fn = m x a
where m is mass and a is acceleration. Manipulating the equation so that we are able to calculate for a,
a = Fn / m
Substituting,
a = (10 N) / 2 kg
a = 5 m/s²
<em>ANSWER: 5 m/s²</em>
