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

Anika [276]

Answer:

156.8 Watts

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 10 kg

Height (h) = 8 m

Time (t) = 5 s

Power (P) =?

Next, we shall determine the energy used by the motor to raise the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 10 kg

Height (h) = 8 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Energy (E) =?

E = mgh

E = 10 × 9. 8 × 8

E = 784 J

Finally, we shall determine the power output of the motor. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Time (t) = 5 s

Energy (E) = 784 J

Power (P) =?

P = E/t

P = 784 / 5

P = 156.8 Watts

Therefore, the power output of the motor is 156.8 Watts

Alchen [17]

Answer:

When an object is dropped, it accelerates toward the center of Earth. Newton's second law states that a net force on an object is responsible for its acceleration. If air resistance is negligible, the net force on a falling object is the gravitational force.
