Answer:
191.36 N/m
Explanation:
From the question,
The Potential Energy of the safe = Energy of the spring when it was compressed.
mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1
Where m = mass of the safe, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height of the save above the heavy duty spring , k = spring constant, e = compression
Making k the subject of the equation,
k =2mgh/e²................ Equation 2
Given: m = 1100 kg, h = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, e = 0.52 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute into equation 2
k = 2(1100)(9.8)(0.0024)/0.52²
k = 51.744/0.2704
k = 191.36 N/m
Hence the spring constant of the heavy-duty spring = 191.36 N/m
Answer:
Vf= 7.29 m/s
Explanation:
Two force act on the object:
1) Gravity
2) Air resistance
Upward motion:
Initial velocity = Vi= 10 m/s
Final velocity = Vf= 0 m/s
Gravity acting downward = g = -9.8 m/s²
Air resistance acting downward = a₁ = - 3 m/s²
Net acceleration = a = -(g + a₁ ) = - ( 9.8 + 3 ) = - 12.8 m/s²
( Acceleration is consider negative if it is in opposite direction of velocity )
Now
2as = Vf² - Vi²
⇒ 2 * (-12.8) *s = 0 - 10²
⇒-25.6 *s = -100
⇒ s = 100/ 25.6
⇒ s = 3.9 m
Downward motion:
Vi= 0 m/s
s = 3.9 m
Gravity acting downward = g = 9.8 m/s²
Air resistance acting upward = a₁ = - 3 m/s²
Net acceleration = a = g - a₁ = 9.8 - 3 = 6.8 m/s²
Now
2as = Vf² - Vi²
⇒ 2 * 6.8 * 3.9 = Vf² - 0
⇒ Vf² = 53. 125
⇒ Vf= 7.29 m/s
Wood isn't as tough as rock. Wood also breaks down in weather and cracks under pressure. Plus rocks were more accessible.
Answer:
During the segments B - C and D - E, the car stopped since the y axis is the distance and the distance stayed the same in between those segments.
For a simpler answer, the flat horizontal lines on the graph are the times when the car was stopped.
I believe this is known as wave period.
hope this helps!
