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.

A 12.0 kg rock slides off the edge of a bridge and falls into the water 25.0 meters below. what is the kinetic energy of the roc

Pavel [41]

During the fall, all the initial potential energy of the rock
$U=mgh$
has converted into kinetic energy of motion
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where h is the initial height of the rock, m its mass, and v its velocity just before hitting the water. So, for energy conservation, we have
$U=K$
and so we can find the value of K, the kinetic energy of the rock just before hitting the ground:
$K=U=mgh = (12.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(25.0 m)=2943 J$
