Answer:

A) 35.5N/m b) 20.1cm

Explanation:

Using Hooke's law;

F = Ke where F is the weight of the object = mass of the object in kg * acceleration due to gravity in m/s^2 and k if the force constant of the spring in N/m and e is the extension of the spring which original length of the spring - new length after extension in meters

For the first body, m*g = K * (0.25- li)

Where li is the initial length of the spring

0.175*9.81 = k(0.25-li)

1.72 = k(0.25-li) as equation 1

For the second body, m *g = K* ( 0.775-li)

2.075*9.81 = k (0.775-li) equation 2

20.36 = k(0.775-li)

Make li subject of the formula;

li = 0.775 - 20.36/k

Substitute for li in equation 1

1.72 = k(0.25- (0.775 - 20.36/k))

1.72 = k ( 0.25 - 0.775 + 20.36/k)

Open the bracket with k

1.72 = 0.25k - 0.775k + 20.36 (since k cancel k)

Collect the like terms:

1.72 - 20.36 = - 0.525k

- 18.64 = -0.525k

Divide both side by -0.525

-18.64/-0.525 = -0.525/-0.525k

K = 35.5N/m

B) substitute for k in using

li = 0.775 - 20.36/k

li = 0.775 - 20.36/35.5

li = 0.775 - 0.574

li = 0.201 in meters

li = 0.201 * 100 centimeters = 20.1cm

A person hears a siren as a fire truck approaches and passes by. The frequency varies from 480Hz on approach to 400Hz going away
alekssr [168]

Answer:

31.2 m/s

Explanation:

f_{app} = Frequency of approach = 480 Hz

f_{aw} = Frequency of going away = 400 Hz

V = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

v = Speed of truck

Frequency of approach is given as

f_{app} = \frac{Vf}{V - v}                           eq-1

Frequency of moving awayy is given as

f_{aw} = \frac{Vf}{V + v}                          eq-2

Dividing eq-1 by eq-2

\frac{f_{app}}{f_{aw}} = \frac{V + v}{V - v}

\frac{480}{400} = \frac{343 + v}{343 - v}

v = 31.2 m/s
