Answer:
V = 11.83 m/s
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 2000 kg
Force = 10000N
Distance = 14 m
To find the final velocity of the car;
First of all, we would determine the acceleration of the car;
Acceleration = force/mass
Acceleration = 10000/2000
Acceleration = 5 m/s²
Next, we would use the third equation of motion to find the final velocity;
Where;
V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.
U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.
a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.
S represents the displacement measured in meters.
Substituting into the equation, we have;
V² = 0² + 2*5*14
V² = 0 + 140
V = √140
V = 11.83 m/s
1) 12 cm
2) 3 N
Explanation:
1)
The relationship between force and elongation in a spring is given by Hooke's law:
where
F is the force applied
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation
For the spring in this problem, at the beginning we have:
So the spring constant is
Later, the force is tripled, so the new force is
Therefore, the new elongation is
2)
In this second problem, we know that the elongation of the spring now is
From part a), we know that the spring constant is
Therefore, we can use the following equation to find the force:
And substituting k and x, we find:
So, the force to produce an elongation of 6 cm must be 3 N.
