Answer:
24 m
Explanation:
The motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion (=at constant acceleration), therefore we can find the distance covered by using the following suvat equation:
where
s is the distance covered
u is the initial velocity
t is the time elapsed
a is the acceleration
For the car in this problem:
u = 0, since the car starts from rest
is the acceleration
t = 4 s is the time elapsed
Therefore, the distance covered is:
Explanation:
Given that,
Weight of the friend, W = 600 N
When the friend sits on the metal frame it bends downward 4 cm, we can say that the compression in the it is 4 cm or 0.04 m
To find,
Spring constant for this chair or k
Solve :
The weight of an object is equal to the force exerted by the gravitational force, F = 600 N
According to Hooke's law, the force exerted by the spring is given by :
F = kx
k is the spring constant
k = 15000 N/m
Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 15000 N/m.
