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

A toy car has a kinetic energy of 8 J. What is its kinetic energy after a frictional force of 0.5 N has acted on it for 6 m?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Final kinetic energy, KE_f=5\ J  

Explanation:

It is given that,

Kinetic energy of toy car, KE_i = 8\ J

Frictional force, F = 0.5 N

Distance, d = 6 m

We need to find the kinetic energy after this frictional force has acted on it. We know that frictional force is an opposing force. The work done by the toy car is given by :

W=F\times d

W=-0.5\ N\times 6\ m

W = -3 J

We know that the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. Let KE_f is the final kinetic energy.

W=KE_f-KE_i

-3=KE_f-8

KE_f=5\ J

So, the final kinetic energy is the toy car is 5 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which two formulas are used to calculate potential and kinetic energy?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

P.E = mgh

K.E = 1/2mv²

Explanation:

P.E = mgh

That is m= mass in kilograms, g=acceleration due to gravity and h= height in meters.

K.E = 1/2mv²

That is 1/2 of an object's mass multiplied by the velocity squared.

3. A large passenger ship required a force of 1,600,000 N to move 2000 m. How much work is done on the ship?​
Dovator [93]

Answer:

3,200,000,000 J

Explanation:

Work is defined as the amount of energy transferred as an object is moved a certain distance with a certain force. Mathematically, we express this with the equation

W=Fs

where W is work (measured in joules), F is the force applied (in Newtons), and s is the distance, also called the <em>displacement </em>(in meters).

Here, we have F = 1,600,000 N and s = 2000 m, so our work will be

W=1.600.000(2.000)=3.200.000.000 J
