Answer:

m = 82.1 kg

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Hook's law that states that the force exerted by a spring is proportional to the displacement

        Fe = -k x

Let's use Newton's second law to establish equilibrium, the elastic force up and the body weight down

       Fe - W = 0

       Fe = W = mg

       k x = m g

       m = k x / g

Let's reduce the distance to SI units

       x = 25 cm (1 m / 100cm) = 0.250 m

      m = 3220 0.250 /9.8

      m = 82.1 kg

A bird flies overhead from where you stand at an altitude of 270.0ĵ m and at a velocity horizontal to the ground of 14.0î m/is.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

L = 8694 Kg.m²/s

Explanation:

r = 270 ĵ m

v = 14 î m/s

m = 2.3 kg

θ = 90º

L = ?

We can apply the equation

L = m*v*r*Sin θ

L = (2.3 kg)*(14 m/s)*(270 m)*Sin 90º = 8694 Kg.m²/s

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.320 with the floor. If
mart [117]

Answer:  29.50 m

Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train  without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:

f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction  multiply the normal force (m*g).

f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a

then

a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2

With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train

as follows:

x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2

Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a

Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m

When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for
uysha [10]

Answer:

F=5449 N

Explanation:

Work done is a product of force and displacement ie

Work done, W, = Force*Displacement

Power, P, is Work done/Time

P=\frac {W}{t}=\frac {FS}{t} where P is power, W is work done, F is force, S is displacement and t is time

In this case, F is the frictional force. Converting the power from hp to W, we multiply by 746 hence P=746*168=125328  W

Since displacement/time is velocity, then

P=FV where V is velocity in m/s

Making F the subject

F=\frac {P}{V}

F=\frac {125328}{23}=5449.043478  N

F=5449 N
