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

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Explanation:

I hate these kinds of problems,  luckily I can't understand how much the kinetic friction is for this ,  the words are all mixed around.  and don't read well.  Maybe this went through a translator program?   My suggestion draw the free body diagram.   so you can see where the forces are, and how they are acting.   getting the free body diagram right.. usually makes these problems pretty straight forward.   just do the steps and you get the answer.

If a roller coaster cart, with a mass of 100 kg, traveled this coaster, how much kinetic energy would it have at point 'E'?
zzz [600]

Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming no friction between the roller coaster car and the hill, and neglecting air resistance, the kinetic energy the roller coaster car would have at the bottom of the hill would be equal to its gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill, by conservation of energy.

Which changes in energy form are illustrated in the diagram.
Grace [21]
It would be B since it starts with the solar energy which is converted to electricity with the solar panels, which then creates mechanical energy for the fans blades to move and sound for the radio.

Hope that helps :)

A baseball travels 200 metes in 6 seconds, what is the baseball’s velocity?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

33.33 m/sec

Explanation:

A baseball travels 200 metes in 6 seconds,

what is the baseball’s velocity?

use the formula: velocity = distance over time

where (d) distance = 200 m

and (t) time = 6 sec.

plugin values into the formula:

v = d / t

  = 200 m / 6 sec

  = 33.33 m/sec.

therefore, the baseball's velocity is 33.33 m/sec
