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>

You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 49 m in front of you. You reaction time
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

v = 26.7 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

speed of the car = 20 m/s

distance between the car and the deer = 49 m

time taken to press the brake = 0.50 s

maximum deceleration of the car = 10 m/s²

Now,

distance travel by the car in 0.5 s = u x t = 20 x 0.5 = 10 m

distance travel by the car after the break is pressed

Using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

0² = 20² - 2 x 10 x s

s = 20 m

Total distance travel by the car = 20 + 10 = 30 m

Distance between deer and car = 49-30 = 19 m.

b. Maximum speed a car could have

Distance travel by the car in reaction time = v' x 0.5

v' is the maximum speed of the car.

maximum distance car can cover = 49 - 0.5 v'

Now, Using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

0² =v'² - 2 x 10 x (49- 0.5 x v')

v'² +10 v' -980 = 0

By solving

v = 26.7 m/s

Hence, maximum speed of the car can be 26.7 m/s

balu736 [363]

Answer:

D 5 V

Explanation:

Without seeing the whole circuit it is impossible to say for certain.

However the simplest circuit would produce a value of

FV = IR = 0.25(20) = 5 v
