B, the surface of a flat table.
Answer:42.4m/s^2
Explanation:
Velocity(v)=6m/s
Radius(r)=0.85 meter
Centripetal acceleration=(v x v) ➗ r
Centripetal acceleration=(6 x 6) ➗ 0.85
Centripetal acceleration=36 ➗ 0.85
Centripetal acceleration=42.4
I think this is correct, but I am not entirely certain.
Find the force constant of the spring:
F = - KX
(0 - 62.4) = -K(0.172m)
-362.791 = -K
362.791 N/m = K
Find the work done in stretching the spring:
W = (1/2)KX
W = (1/2)(362.791)(0.172m)
W = 31.2 J
