Mass of car, m = 4060 kg
Spring constant, k = 8.00 x 10⁶ N/m
Spring compression, x = 3.72 cm = 3.72 x 10⁻² m

Let the car strike the wall with speed v m/s.

The kinetic energy of the car is released into the stored energy of the spring (if losses are ignored), so that
(1/2)mv² = (1/2)kx²
(4060 kg)*(v m/s)² = (8 x 10⁶ N/m)(3.72 x 10⁻² m)²
4060 v² = 1.1701 x 10⁴
v = 1.6513 m/s

Answer:  1.65 m/s (nearest hundredth)

One simple use of the elements of the electromagnetic spectrum that we use during our everyday lives is our daily use of microwave radiation. microwave radiation is absorbed by water molecules which heats up and cooks the food whilst killing bacteria. Another would be ultraviolet radiation which we use daily in things such as light bulbs. The sun also uses this. Lastly, we use radio waves constantly. May it be tv programs, radio, or our cell phones.

<span>In physical cosmology, cosmic inflation, cosmological inflation, or just inflation, is a theory of exponential expansion of space in the early universe. The inflationary epoch lasted from 10−36 seconds after the conjectured Big Bang singularity to sometime between 10−33 and 10−32 seconds after the singularity.
I hope this helps!!!

Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.0 kg gibbon
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

230 N

Explanation:

At the lowest position , the velocity is maximum hence at this point, maximum support force  T  is given by the branch.

The swinging motion of the ape on a vertical circular path , will require

a centripetal force  in upward direction . This is related to weight as follows

T - mg = m v² / R

R is radius of circular path . m is mass of the ape and velocity is 3.2 m/s

T =  mg -  mv² / R

T = 8.5 X 9.8 + 8.5 X 3.2² / .60  { R is length of hand of ape. }

T = 83.3 + 145.06

= 228.36

= 230 N ( approximately )

28. Identify whether the following objects are in
Marianna [84]

Answer:

a. A baseball after it has been  hit - not in free fall

b. A rock that is thrown in the  air - not in free fall

c. The moon - free-fall

d. A paper airplane - not in free fall

e. A bird flying - not in free fall

Explanation:

  1. The free-fall is defined as the falling of an object due to the action of gravity. The object is not experiencing any other force neglecting the air resistance.
  2. If an object is in free-fall, the direction of its motion is directed towards the center of the earth. It does not have a horizontal component of velocity.
  3. If the body is under free-fall, but a centripetal force acts on it where it is equal to the gravitational force at that point. The object will have two components of velocity along the tangential line, perpendicular to the radius of the orbit.

a. A baseball after it has been  hit - not in free fall according to point 1 & 2.

b. A rock that is thrown in the  air - not in free fall according to point 1.

c. The moon - free-fall according to point 3.

d. A paper airplane - not in free fall according to point 1 & 2.

e. A bird flying - not in free fall according to point 1 & 2.
