I think this is correct, but I am not entirely certain.
Find the force constant of the spring:
F = - KX
(0 - 62.4) = -K(0.172m)
-362.791 = -K
362.791 N/m = K
Find the work done in stretching the spring:
W = (1/2)KX
W = (1/2)(362.791)(0.172m)
W = 31.2 J
It begins with a kick-off
Answer:
1. To determine the average speed for the first day of the trip, the total distance traveled would have to be acquired and then how long it took to arrive at the final destination, only including the time that was actually traveled and not any time that was accumulated by any rest stops. Once you have this information, you have to divide the distance over time and you have the average speed (mph).
2. To determine the instantaneous speed, you would just have to look at the speedometer, which tells you at what speed the car is traveling at that exact moment.
Explanation:
I took physics 121 and got the same question. This is my answer that i used and my teacher said it was right.
