A 0.40-kg block is attached to the end of a horizontal ideal spring and rests on a frictionless surface. The block is pulled so

that the spring stretches for 2.0 cm relative to its unstrained length. When the block is released, it moves with an acceleration of 8.0 m/s2. What is the spring constant of the spring

Answer:

160N/m

Explanation:

According to Hooke's law which states that the extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically,

F = ke where

F is the applied force

k is the spring constant

e is the extension

From the formula k = F/e

Since the body accelerates when the block is released, F = ma according to Newton's second law of motion.

The spring constant k = ma/e where

m is the mass of the block = 0.4kg

a is the acceleration = 8.0m/s²

e is the extension of the spring = 2.0cm = 0.02m

K = 0.4×8/0.02

K = 3.2/0.02

K = 160N/m

The spring constant of the spring is therefore 160N/m

neonofarm [45]
Total displacement along the length of mountain is given as
L = 235 m
angle of mountain with horizontal = 35 degree
now we will have horizontal displacement as
x = L cos35
x = 235 cos35 = 192.5 m
similarly for vertical displacement we can say
y = L sin35
y = 235 sin35 = 134.8 m

7. How do Newton’s laws of motion explain why it is important to keep the ice smooth on a hockey rink so that players can pass a
Arisa [49]
The first law states that “objects at rest and objects in motion remain in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force”. Keeping the ice smooth will make sure there is not friction, friction would slow the puck down

Answer:

i think its because u gave the almost every answer the same exact thing. all the questions have different ways of moving which means different forces for each one i hope this helps :)
