PE = 0.5 × k × x²

PE potential Energy
k spring constant
x stretch/compression of the spring

A race car makes one lap around a track of radius 50 m in 9.0 s. What is the average velocity? *

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Given that,

Radius of track, r = 50 m

time , t = 9 s

velocity, v = ?

Distance covered by car in one lap around a track is equal to the circumference of the track.

C = 2 π r = 2 * 3.14 * 50

C = 314.159 m

Distance covered by car, s = 314.159 m

Velocity = distance/ time

V = 314.159 / 9

V = 34.9 m/s

The average velocity of car is 34.9 m/s.

A force of 14 lb is required to hold a spring stretched 4 in. beyond its natural length. How much work W is done in stretching i

enyata [817]

Answer:

$W = 19.8 J$

Explanation:

14 lb force is required to stretch the spring by 4 inch distance

So we have

$F = 14 lbf$

$F = 6.35 \times 9.8 N$

$F = 62.3 N$

stretch in the spring is given as

$x = 4 in = 0.1016 m$

now we will have

$F = kx$

$62.3 = k(0.1016)$

$k = 613.125 N/m$

Now we need to find the work to stretch it by x = 10 in = 0.254 m

so we have

$W = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$W = \frac{1}{2}(613.125)(0.254)^2$

$W = 19.8 J$
