Answer:
Final Length = 30 cm
Explanation:
The relationship between the force applied on a string and its stretching length, within the elastic limit, is given by Hooke's Law:
F = kΔx
where,
F = Force applied
k = spring constant
Δx = change in length of spring
First, we find the spring constant of the spring. For this purpose, we have the following data:
F = 50 N
Δx = change in length = 25 cm - 20 cm = 5 cm = 0.05 m
Therefore,
50 N = k(0.05 m)
k = 50 N/0.05 m
k = 1000 N/m
Now, we find the change in its length for F = 100 N:
100 N = (1000 N/m)Δx
Δx = (100 N)/(1000 N/m)
Δx = 0.1 m = 10 cm
but,
Δx = Final Length - Initial Length
10 cm = Final Length - 20 cm
Final Length = 10 cm + 20 cm
<u>Final Length = 30 cm</u>
This is an example Newton's Third Law. All the kinectic energy from the moving car transferred the potential energy of the parked car. This potential is not much since the brakes are on (hopefully) and it's not in a non-moving position.
1 milliliter = 1 cubic centimeter (cm^3)
