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

How does Newton's second law of motion gives the measurement of force?
Alex Ar [27]
Hi pupil here's your answer ::

_____________________________

How does Newton's second law of motion gives the measurement of force?
So the answer is first : what is newton's second law? =》The rate of change of momentum of an object is equivalent to particular direction of the FORCE
=> This is how Newton's second law of motion gives the measurement of FORCE .

=>It gives measurement as the equation
》 F=MA《
Where F is force , M is mass of the object , and A is the acceleration produced .

A table exerts a 4.0 Newton force on a book which lies at rest on its top. The force exerted by the book on the table is
SOVA2 [1]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. <span>The force exerted by the book on the table is equal to the force exerted by the table which is 4.0 N. The book does not move so it must be that the forces are balanced. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Unpolarized light with an average intensity of 845 W/m2 enters a polarizer with a vertical transmission axis. The transmitted li
RideAnS [48]

The concept to develop this problem is the Law of Malus. Which describes what happens with the light intensity once it passes through a polarized material.

Mathematically this can be expressed as

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

Where

I = New intensity after pass through the Polarizer

I_0= Original intensity

\theta = Indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

When the light passes perpendicularly through the first polarizer, the light intensity is reduced by half which will cause the intensity to be 225W / m ^ 2 at the output of the new polarizer, mathematically:

I= \frac{I_0}{2} cos^2\theta

225 = \frac{845}{2}cos^2\theta

Solving to find the angle we have

\theta = 43.11\°

The orientation angle of the second polarizer relative to the first one is 43.11°
