the spring will be compressed by 0.3072 m

Explanation:

acceleration of elevator=3 m/s²

mass of student= 60 Kg

spring constant=2.5 x 10³ N/m

the force on the student is given by F = m ( g +a)

F=60 (9.8+3)

F=768 N

now the formula for spring force is given by

F= k x

768= 2.5 x 10³ (x)

x=0.3072 m

An 12 N force is applied to a 1 kg object. What is the magnitude of the objects acceleration?
Sauron [17]

Answer:

a=12 m/s²

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force applied and takes place in the direction of force.

This can be summarized as: F=ma, where m is the mass of the object on which force F acts. a is the acceleration due to the force applied.

12N= 1kg×a

a=12N/1kg

a=12m/s²

An egg is drown at a wall and breaks. A second egg is thrown at the same velocity and collides with a bed sheet. The egg does no
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The first egg is thrown at a wall and breaks because it has no time to decelerate and it breaks.

While, when a second egg is thrown at wall with same velocity and collides with a bed sheet, it does not break because it get more time to decelerate  or collide with the wall.  It reduces the amount of force exerted on the egg and it does not break.
