car rides on four wheels that are connected to the body of the car by spring assemblies that let the wheels move up and down ove

r bumps and dips in the road. When an 80 kg person sits on the left front fender of a small car, this corner of the car dips by about 1 cm. Treating the spring assembly as a single spring, what is the approximate spring constant

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

There are 2.2 pounds in a kilogram. if a boys mass is 40kg, what is his height in pounds?
sasho [114]
The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions, like this- 

\frac{1}{2.2} = \frac{40}{x}

Solve for x by using cross multiplication.

40*2.2= 88
1*x=88
x=88

Therefore, the boy weighs 88lbs.

Stephanie serves a volleyball from a height of 0.80 m and gives it an initial velocity of +7.2 m/s straight up. how high will th
Papessa [141]
<span>3.78 m Ignoring resistance, the ball will travel upwards until it's velocity is 0 m/s. So we'll first calculate how many seconds that takes. 7.2 m/s / 9.81 m/s^2 = 0.77945 s The distance traveled is given by the formula d = 1/2 AT^2, so substitute the known value for A and T, giving d = 1/2 A T^2 d = 1/2 9.81 m/s^2 (0.77945 s)^2 d = 4.905 m/s^2 0.607542 s^2 d = 2.979995 m So the volleyball will travel 2.979995 meters straight up from the point upon which it was launched. So we need to add the 0.80 meters initial height. d = 2.979995 m + 0.8 m = 3.779995 m Rounding to 2 decimal places gives us 3.78 m</span>
