Answer:
0.5m/s^2
Explanation:
We can use the formula [ F = ma ] but solve for "a" since that is what we are looking for.
F = ma
F/m = a
We know the net force and mass so substitute those values and simplify.
500/1000 = 0.5m/s^2
Best of Luck!
<h2>
Spring constant is 14.72 N/m</h2>
Explanation:
We have for a spring
Force = Spring constant x Elongation
F = kx
Here force is weight of mass
F = W = mg = 0.54 x 9.81 = 5.3 N
Elongation, x = 36 cm = 0.36 m
Substituting
F = kx
5.3 = k x 0.36
k = 14.72 N/m
Spring constant is 14.72 N/m
Newtons third law (inertia) is to blame
Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration is:
a = v² / r
a = (4.0 m/s)² / 0.60 m
a = 26.6 m/s²
