Two people with a combined mass of 127 kg hop into an old car with worn-out shock absorbers. This causes the springs to compress

by 9.10 cm. When the car hits a bump in the road, it oscillates up and down with a period of 1.66 s. Find the total load supported by the springs.

Answer:

Total load = 2999.126 kg

Explanation:

Let the spring constant of the shock absorber be k.

We know that the force applied on a spring is directly proportional to elongated length and the constant of proportionality is called spring constant.

Thus

Force, F = kx

where,

x = elongation = 9.1 cm 0.091 m

mass of the people, m = 127 kg

F = weight of the people = mg = 127 x 9.8 = 1244.6 N

substituting these values in the first equation,

1244.6 = k x 0.091

thus, k = 13,676.923 N/m

Now we know that the time period, T of an oscillating spring with a load of mass m is

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

\frac{m}{k} = \frac{T^{2} }{4\pi ^{2} }

thus,

m = k\frac{T^{2} }{4\pi ^{2}}

T = 1.66s

substituting these values in the equation,

m =13,676.923\frac{1.66^{2} }{4\pi ^{2}  }

m = 2999.126 kg

Physics student is dropped. If they reach the floor at a speed of 3.2 m/s, from what height did they fall?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

0.52 m

Explanation:

The motion of the studnet is an accelerated motion, with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity) toward the ground. We can find the distance covered by the student (which is equal to the height from which he falls) by using the SUVAT equation:

v^2 -u^2 = 2ad

where

v = 3.2 m/s is the final speed

u = 0 is the initial speed

a = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

d is the distance covered

By re-arranging the equation, we find:

d=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{(3.2 m/s)^2-0}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=0.52 m

A speedboat is moving at a constant speed, and the force propelling it forward is balanced by the force of the water pulling it
Kipish [7]
The correct answer is C: the speedboat's direction of motion will change. This is In fact, the new force of 500 N from the side of the boat is not balanced by any forces from the other side, and therefore this force will cause an acceleration in the direction of the force itself, which is not the same direction of motion. Therefore, the speedboat will acquire a movement on the lateral direction as well.

What state of matter has the highest energy? Lowest?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The highest state of matter in energy is gas. The lowest is solid.

Explanation:

The reason why is because gas is the highest conductor of electricity (which is why we have lightning). However, solids don't conduct electricity very well.
