Answer:

k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m

Explanation:

First we need to find the force applied by safe pn the spring:

F = Weight of Safe

F = mg

where,

F = Force Applied by the safe on the spring = ?

m = mass of safe = 800 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

F = (800 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 7840 N

Now, using Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

K = Spring Constant = ?

Δx = compression = 46 cm = 0.46 m

Therefore,

7840 N = k (0.46 m)

k = 7840 N/0.46 m

<u>k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m</u>

How fast would a 2-kilogram object need to move to have the same kinetic
siniylev [52]

Answer:

11.3 m/s

Explanation:

KE₁ = KE₂

½m₁v₁² = ½m₂v₂²

½ (2 kg) v² = ½ (4 kg) (8 m/s)²

v ≈ 11.3 m/s

A tennis ball is dropped from a height of 3 m and bounces back to a height of
julsineya [31]

Answer:

To decide where the balls land, we need to determine how long the balls are in the air. Both balls will take 2 seconds to hit the ground.

Explanation:

1) Time played forward : gravity & drag forces are in opposite directions so it takes a longer time to reach the ground. 2) Time played backward : gravity & drag forces are in the same direction so it takes a shorter time to reach the ground.

A position vector in the first quadrant has an x-component of 18 m and a magnitude of 30 m. What is the value of its y-component
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The value is 24meters

Explanation:

Using

r= xi+yj

To get the magnitude of vector x

We say

/r/= √x²+y²

So

30²= √18² + y²

y= √576

Y= 24m
