Answer:

approximate spring constant = 78.5 KN/m

Explanation:

From the question,

Mass of person = 80kg

Dip of car = 1cm

From Hooke's law, we know that;

F = kx = mg

Where ;

k is combined spring constant

x = 1cm = 0.01m

g = 9.81 m/s²

Thus,

Kx = mg

K = mg/x

k = (80x9.81)/0.01

k = 78.48 KN/m

This is approximately 78.5 KN/m:

Answer:

78.4 KN/m

Explanation:

Given

mass of person 'm' =80 kg

car dips about i.e spring stretched 'x'=   1 cm  => 0.01m

acceleration due to gravity 'g'= 9.8 m/s^2

as we know that,in order to find approximate spring constant we use Hooke's Law i.e  F=kx

where,

F = the force needed

x= distance the spring is stretched or compressed beyond its natural length

k= constant of proportionality called the spring constant.

F=kx ---> (since f=mg)

mg=kx

k=(mg)/x

k=(80 x 9.8)/ 0.01

k=78.4x10^3

k=78.4 KN/m

patriot [66]

6050 J is the kinetic energy at D

<u>Explanation:</u>

In physics, the object's kinetic energy (K.E) defined as the energy it possesses during movement. It can be defined as the required work to accelerate a certain body weight in order to rest at a certain speed. When the body receives this energy as it speeds up (accelerates), it retains this energy unless speed varies. The equation is given as,

           K . E=\frac{1}{2} \times m \times v^{2}

Where,

m - mass of an object

v - velocity of the object

Here,

Given data:

m  = 100 kg

v = 11 m/s

By substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

            K . E=\frac{1}{2} \times 100 \times(11)^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times 100 \times 121=\frac{12100}{2}=6050\ \mathrm{J}

Find the magnitude of this<br> vector:<br> 174 m<br> N<br> 188.4 m<br> HELP FAST
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

195.168 m

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the vector you can use the Pythagorean Theorem since you have the height and base and the vector is really just the hypotenuse

Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

Plug values in

88.4^2+174^2=c^2

Simplify

7814.56+30276=c^2

Add the two values

38090.56=c^2

Take the square root of both sides

195.168\approx195.168

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
