A measurement that has both magnitude and direction

Physics
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]2 years ago
7 0
<span>A measurement that both magnitude and direction is a vector quantity. An example of this is a moving car. The car exerts force due to its thrust and weight that runs in it. This will give us the magnitude of the car. The resulting motion of the car in terms of displacement, velocity and acceleration that determines its direction makes it a vector quantity. On the other hand, a measurement that has only magnitude is a scalar quantity. The energy exerted by the engine of the car is a scalar quantity.</span>

A(n) 55.5 g ball is dropped from a height of 53.6 cm above a spring of negligible mass. The ball compresses the spring to a maxi
Serggg [28]

Answer:

The spring force constant is  k=243\ \frac{N}{m} .

Explanation:

We are told the mass of the ball is m=0.0555\ kg, the height above the spring where the ball is dropped is h=0.536\ m,  the length the ball compresses the spring is d=0.04897\ m and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8\ \frac{m}{s^{2}} .

We will consider the initial moment to be when the ball is dropped and the final moment to be when the ball stops, compressing the spring. We supose that there is no friction so the initial mechanical energy E_{mi} is equal to the final mechanical energy E_{mf} :

                                                    E_{mf}=E_{mi}

Initially there is only gravitational potential energy because the force of the spring isn't present and the speed is zero. In the final moment there is only elastic potential energy because the height is zero and the ball has stopped. So we have that:

                                                   \frac{1}{2}kd^{2}=mgh

If we manipulate the equation we have that:

                                                    k=\frac{2mgh}{d^{2} }

                                         k=\frac{2\ 0.0555\ kg\ 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}\ 0.536\ m}{(0.04897)^{2}m^{2}}

                                              k=\frac{0.58306\ \frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}}{2.398x10^{-3}m^{2}}

                                                     k=243\ \frac{N}{m}

During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of 60 mi/hr in a distance of 120 ft. With the sa
maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed u=60\ mi/hr\approx 88\ ft/s

distance traveled before coming to rest d_1=120\ ft

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

0-(88)^2=2\times a\times 120---1

for u_2=80\ mi/hr\approx 117.33\ ft/s

using same relation we get

0-(117.33)^2=2\times a\times (d_2)----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

(\frac{88}{117.33})^2=\frac{120}{d_2}

d_2=213.32\ ft

So a distance if 213.32 ft is required to stop the vehicle with 80 mph speed
