Answer:

A. 130.7 N/m

Explanation:

By Hook's law

Force(F) = Spring constant(k) × Extention (d)

F = k× d ⇒ k = F/d

To find Force(F) you know it is the weight of the object. Considering g = 9.8 ms⁻²

k = 2×9.8/0.15 = 130.7 Nm⁻¹

Hooke’s law,

for small deformations of an object, the displacement is directly proportional to the deforming force or load.

Under these conditions the object returns to its original shape and size upon removal of the load.

The deforming force may be applied to a solid by stretching, compressing,etc. so a spring shows an elastic behavior according to Hooke’s law

Mathematically,

applied force( F) = constant (k)* displacement in length (x)

F = kx.

The value of k depends

on the kind of elastic material
on its dimensions and shape.

If the car’s speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h in 3.0 s, what is the magnitude of its acceleration, ass

mixas84 [53]

Answer: $3.874 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Car speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h

in 3 sec

$60mi/h \approx 26.8224m/s$

$34mi/h \approx 15.1994 m/s$

we know acceleration is given by $=\frac{velocity}{Time}$

$a=\frac{15.1994-26.8224}{3}$

$a=-3.874 m/s^2$

negative indicates that it is stopping the car

Distance traveled

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$\left ( 15.1994\right )^2-\left ( 26.8224\right )^2=2\left ( -3.874\right )s$

$s=\frac{488.419}{2\times 3.874}$

s=63.038 m

Science If you want to find the energy quantum of light, you multiply the frequency of the radiation (v) by "h". What is "h"?

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

"h" signifies Planck's constant

Explanation:

In the equation energy E = h X v

The "h" there signifies Planck's constant

Planck's constant is a value, that shows the rate at which the energy of a photon increases/decreases, as the frequency of its electromagnetic wave changes.

It was named after Max Planck who discovered this unique relationship between the energy of a light wave and its frequency.

Planck's constant, "h" is usually expressed in Joules second

Planck's constant = $6.62607015 \times 10^{-34} J.s$

A young woman walks up 55 steps to the top of a water slide. She slides

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

potential energy PE = M g h

KE at bottom = 1/2 M V^2

Regardless of the slope of the slide the change in energy is the same

1/2 V^2 = g h

V = (2 g h)^1/2 = (2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * 10 m)^1/2 = 14 m / s

Perhaps the question says that h = 55 * .1 = 5.5 m

Then V = (2 * 9.8 * 5.5) = 10.4 m/s
