Driving home from school one day, you spot a ball rolling out into the street (Figure 5-21). You brake for 1.20 s, slowing your

950-kg car from 16.0 m/s to 9.50 m/s.
a) What was the average force exerted on your car during braking?
b) How far did you travel while braking?

A ) v = v o + a t  ( the acceleration will be negative )
9.50 = 16.0 + a * 1.2
a * 1.2 = -16.0 + 9.50
a * 1.2 = - 6.5 
a = - 6.5 : 1.2
a = - 5.4167 m/s²
F = m * a = 950 kg * 5.4167 m/s²
F = 5,145.8 N ( the average force exerted on a car during braking )
b ) d = v o - a t² / 2
d = 16.0 * 1.2 - ( 5.4167 * 1.2² / 2 ) =
= 19.20 - 3.90 = 15.30 m

kirill [66]

Answer:

320 N/m

Explanation:

F = k·Δx

where

F is the restoring force of the spring

k is the proportionality constant called the ‘spring constant’

Δx is the change in the spring’s position due to the deformation.

You need the k so

25 cm= 0.25m

k=F/∆x = 80/0.25 = 320 N/m

If you shout at a cliff wall that is 440 m away and the air temperature is at 25 °C, how long will it take before you hear your
ira [324]
The speed of sound at T=25°C is Vs=346 m/s. So the sound has to reach the cliff and return back to you so the path it needs to travel is s=2*440 m = 880 m.
Since the speed of sound is constant s=Vs*t, and t= s/Vs=880/346=2.54335 s. You will hear the echo after t=2.54335 s after you shouted.
