What is hooke's law? does it apply to elastic materials or to inelastic materials?

1 answer:

6 0

When you talk about Hooke's law, it always have to do something with springs. Hooke's Law, from Robert Hooke, saw a relation between the force applied to the spring and the extension of its length. The equation is: F = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement of the original and stretched lengths. In other words, x is the length of deformation. Hence, the object must be elastic to come up with a displacement or deformation, in the first place. Then, the Hooke's Law is only applicable to elastic materials.

Answer:

Lacks colored blood - Scorpion

Soft, unsegmented body - Octopus

A vertebrate - Bird

Lacks antennae - Starfish

Explanation:

Scorpion belongs to the Phylum Arthropoda of the Kingdom Animalia. All the organisms of this phylum lack coloured blood.

Octopus comes under the Phylum Molusca of the Kingdom Animalia. Soft, unsegmented body is the property of the organisms of this phylum.

Bird belongs to the Vertebrata class of the Phylum Chordata of Kingdom Animalia.

Starfish belongs to Echinodermata Phylum of the Kingdom Animalia. The organisms of this category do not posses antennae.

A car travels 20 km South, then turns and travels 30 km East? What is the total displacement?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Explanation:36.05 km

Given

First car travels $r_1=20\ km$ South

then turns and travels $r_2=30\ km$ east

Suppose south as negative y axis and east as positive x axis

So, $r_1=-20\hat{j}$

$r_2=30\hat{i}$

Displacement is the shortest between initial and final point

Dispalcement $=r=r_1+r_2$

Displacement $=-20\hat{j}+30\hat{i}$

Displacement $=30\hat{i}-20\hat{j}$

Magnitude $=\sqrt{30^2+(-20)^2}$

Magnitude $=36.05\ km$

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

$1.3310\times 10^8 m/s$ is the rock's speed.

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as motion possessed by the moving body's mass. Mathematically it a product of mas and velocity of the body.

$Momentum(P)=Mass(m)\times velocity(v)$

Given : Mass of rock = m = 1.45 kg

Velocity of the rock = v

Momentum of the rock = P = $1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s$

$1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s=1.45 kg\times v$

$v=\frac{1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s}{1.45 kg}=1.33\times 10^8 m/s$

$1.3310\times 10^8 m/s$ is the rock's speed.

0.45 kg soccer ball changes its velocity by 20.0 m/s due to a force applied to it in 0.10 seconds. What force was necessary for

Paladinen [302]

Assuming the accleration applied was constant, we have

$v=v_0+at\implies v_0+20.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=v_0+a(0.10\,\mathrm s)$

$\implies20.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=a(0.10\,\mathrm s)$

$\implies a=200\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

Then the force applied to the ball is given by

$F=ma=(0.45\,\mathrm{kg})\left(200\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)$

$\implies F=90\,\dfrac{\mathrm{kg}\,\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}=90.\,\mathrm N$
