Initially sliding with a speed of 1.9 m/s, a 1.8 kg block collides with a spring and compresses it 0.35 m before coming to rest.

what is the force constant of the spring?

Let k =  the force constant of the spring (N/m).

The strain energy (SE) stored in the spring when it is compressed by a distance x=0.35 m is
SE = (1/2)*k*x²
     = 0.5*(k N/m)*(0.35 m)²
     = 0.06125k J

The KE (kinetic energy) of the sliding block is
KE = (1/2)*mass*velocity²
     = 0.5*(1.8 kg)*(1.9 m/s)²
     = 3.249 J

Assume that negligible energy is lost when KE is converted into SE.
Therefore
0.06125k = 3.249
k = 53.04 N/m

Answer:  53 N/m  (nearest integer)

The planet Saturn has a mass that is 95 times Earth's mass and a radius that is 9.4 times Earth's radius. What is the accelerati
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

10.55111 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Saturn = 95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg

r = Radius of Saturn = 9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6\ m

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=10.55111\ m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity on Saturn is 10.55111 m/s²

An 1100kg car reached 30m/s in 9s from rest. What force did the engine provide?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

≅3666.67 N

Explanation:

Use Newton's 2nd law, F = ma where F=force applied, m = mass of the object,

a = acceleration acquired by the object.

a= (v-u)/t where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity and t = time taken

calculate a = (30-0)/9 ≅ 3.33 m/s2

Then F = 1100×a = 3666.67 N

A spaceship starting from a resting position accelerates at a constant rate of 9.8 m/s. How far will the spaceship travel if its
Dvinal [7]

300 000 0 squared = 2 x 9.8 distance

KINEMATICS

Uniform or constant motion in a straight line (rectilinear). Speed or velocity constant and/or acceleration constant. If motion is up and down and/or has an up and down component then acceleration omn earth will be g. g is about 10m/s/s.


speed = distance/time

velocity = displacement/time

s=distance ... u=initial speed ... v = final speed ... a = acceleration ... t = time


v=u+at

v^2=u^2+2as

s=ut+1/2at^2

6. A car is traveling at 50m/s when it begins to slow down to
ki77a [65]

Answer:

-6 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 50 m/s

v = 20 m/s

t = 5 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

20 m/s = a (5 s) + 50 m/s

a = -6 m/s²
