Answer:

A) k = 2,858 10⁴ N / m , B) x_total = - 5,812 10⁻¹ m

C) it is very possible that the obtained value is not realistic for small vehicles

Explanation:

Part A

In this case we can use Hooke's law

F = - k x

force is the weight of the driver

F = W

mg = - k x

k = - mg / x

the springs are compressed x = - 2,4 10⁻² m

k = - 70 9.8 / (-2.4 10⁻²)

k = 2,858 10⁴ N / m

Part B

Since we have the spring constant we must find the complete weight, for this we look for the total masses

each mass is the number of element by the mass of an element

M = 23 70 + 3 15 + 5 3 + 1 25

M = 1695 kg

F = -k x

F = W = M g

Mg = - k x_total

x_total = -M g / k

x_total = -1695 9.8 / 2,858 10⁴

x_total = - 5,812 10⁻¹ m

The negative sign indicates that the springs are compressing

Part C

The truck has lowered 0.58 m = 58 cm

This drop is very large probably in a real vehicle with this drop it would be touching the ground or very close, therefore it is very possible that the obtained value is not realistic for small vehicles

Maurinko [17]

The dimension of K is M/ T^2

according to the question T=2π square root ofm/k here 2 pi is constant so

T= root of m /k and root of k = root of m/ T now by squaring on both the sides we get the answer k= M/ T^2

complete question :

A spring is hanging down from the ceiling, and an object of mass m is attached to the free end. The object is pulled down, thereby stretching the spring, and then released. The object oscillates up and down, and the time T required for one complete up-and-down oscillation is given by the equation T=√2πm/k, where k is known as the spring constant. What must be the dimension of k for this equation to be dimensionally correct?

A car is stopped at a red light. When the light turns green, the car accelerates until it reaches a final velocity of 45 m/s. It

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

270 m

Explanation:

We can find the distance travelled by the car by using the following suvat equation:

$s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t$

where

s is the distance travelled

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time

For the car in this problem,

u = 0

v = 45 m/s

t = 12 s

Substituting into the equation, we find:

$s=(\frac{0+45}{2})(12)=270 m$

The age of a piece of wood from an archeological site is to be determined using the Carbon-14 method. The activity of the sample

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

4589.05 year

Explanation:

The relation of activity is given by $A=A_0e^{\lambda t}$ we have given $\frac{A}{A_0}=0.574$

Half life $T=5730\ years$

We know that half life $T=\frac{0.693}{\lambda }$

$\lambda =\frac{0.693}{5730}=1.2094\times 10^{-4}\ per\ year$

So $0.574=e^{-1.2094\times 10^{-4}t}$

$e^{1.2094\times 10^{-4}t}=\frac{1}{0.574}=1.742$

${1.2094\times 10^{-4}t}=ln1.742=0.555$

$t=\frac{0.555}{1.2094\times 10_{-4}}=4589.05\ year$

How to determine the center of gravity of a lamina

goldenfox [79]

Take a lamina with three holes near the periphery of the lamina, now suspend the lamina through them, one by one. Draw a line of equilibrium for each suspension point. The point of intersection of these three lines would be the centre of gravity.
