A single mass m1 = 3.6 kg hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator. The spring is extended x = 15.0 cm from its unstretched

length. . . Now, three masses m1 = 3.6 kg, m2 = 10.8 kg and m3 = 7.2 kg hang from three identical springs in a motionless elevator. The springs all have the same spring constant that you just calculated above. . . What is the distance the lower spring is stretched from its equilibrium length?

The distance the lower spring is stretched from its equilibrium length is 45cm because the weight is 3x as much as the reference spring and the spring constant is the same. 

<span>2) The force the bottom spring exerts on the mass is its weight (=mg) PLUS 10.8kg x 3.8m/s^2 = 133N </span>

<span>3) The distance the upper spring is extended from its unstretched length when not accelerated is 15cm </span>

<span>4) Rank the distances the springs are extended from their unstretched lengths: </span>
<span>c) x1 < x2 < x3 </span>

<span>5) The distance the MIDDLE spring is extended from its unstretched length when not accelerated is 45cm </span>

<span>6) Finally, the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -3.4 m/s and also accelerating downward at an acceleration of a = -2.1 m/s2. </span>
<span>a)speeding up </span>
<span>because the v and a are in the same direction</span>

Answer:

Speed at the bottom of the roller coaster = 49.79 m/s

Explanation:

A new ride being built at an amusement park includes a vertical drop of 126.5 meters. Starting from rest, the ride vertically drops that distance before the track curves forward.

We have to find the speed at the bottom.

Here the gravitational energy fully converts to kinetic energy, so we equate it.

Gravitational energy = m\times g\times h

Kinetic energy = 0.5 \times m\times v^{2}

m\times g\times h = 0.5 \times m\times v^{2}

9.8\times 126.5 = 0.5\times v^{2}

v^{2} = 2479.4

Velocity, v = 49.79 m/s

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

25 min, 48 sec

Explanation:

Alan:

t = d/v

  = 400 mi / 46 mph = 8.70 hr

So it took Alan 8.70 hrs; from 8 am, that's 4:42 pm that he arrives.

t = d/v

  = 400 mi / 55 mph = 7.27 hr

So it took Beth 7.27 hrs; from 9 am, that's 4:16:12 that she arrives.

4:42 - 4:16:12 = 25.8 minutes = 25 minutes, 48 sec
