To solve this problem, we need to use Hooke's Law. 

Hooke's Law: 

F = -kx

where F = mg
m = mass of the object
g = gravitational force
k = spring constant
x = length of stretch of the spring

Solve for the spring constant, k:

2.0 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = -k*(6.1cm/100cm/m)

k = 321.64 

The stretch of the spring with mass of 2.5 kg is then determined: 

2.5 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = -321.64 *(x)
x = 7.62 cm

What do you think is the reason scientists use an ellipse rather than a circle as
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Newton's laws of motion and gravity explained Earth's annual journey around the Sun. Earth would move straight forward through the universe, but the Sun exerts a constant pull on our planet. This force bends Earth's path toward the Sun, pulling the planet into an elliptical (almost circular) orbit.

A box is pushed across a horizontal table at constant speed. Of the forces on it, which pair do we know are equal in magnitude b
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Normal force on the box and the normal force on the table by the box.

Explanation:

a)The force of kinetic friction on the box and the force applied to the box by the one pushing it:  This pair of forces is compared by Newton's second law.

b)None of these are interaction pairs: If there is a couple of interaction

c)Normal force on the box and the normal force on the table by the box: We know that this pair of forces are equal in magnitude due to Newton's third law, or, the principle of action and reaction, which establishes that when two bodies interact, equal forces and opposite senses appear in each of them.

When a body A exerts a force on another body B, B will react by exerting another force on A of the same modulus and direction although in the opposite direction. The first of the forces is called the action force and the second reaction force :

FAB = - FBA

FAB: It is the force of action of A on B .

FBA: It is the reaction force of B on A

d)Normal force on the box and the weight of the box: This pair of forces is compared by Newton's second law.

The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. the car slows uniformly with acceleration of -5.9
Hatshy [7]
Let u =  the speed of the car at the instant when braking begins.

The braking distance is s = 62.3 m, the acceleration is a = -5.9 m/s², and the braking duration is t = 4.15 s.

Use the formula s = ut + (1/2)at² to obtain
(u m/s)*(4.15 s) + 0.5*(-5.9 m/s²)*(4.5 s)² = (62.3 m)
4.15u = 62.3 + 50.8064 = 113.1064
      u = 27.2546 m/s

Let v m/s be the speed with which the car strikes the tree.
Then
v = 27.2546 - 5.9*4.15
   = 2.7696 m/s

Answer: 2.77 m/s (nearest hundredth)
