Answer:
E) 80 N/m
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the block, m = 4.8 kg
displacement of the block, x = -0.5 m
velocity of the block, v = -0.8 m/s
acceleration of the block, a = 8.3 m/s²
From Newton's second law of motion;
F = ma
Also, from Hook's law;
F = -Kx
where;
k is the force constant
Thus, ma = -kx
k = -ma/x
k = -(4.8 x 8.3) / (-0.5)
k = 79.7 N/m
k ≅ 80 N/m
Therefore, the force constant of the spring is closest to 80 N/m

Explanation:</h2>
The capacitive reactance, 
, which is the opposition given to the flow of current through the capacitor is given by;
Where;
f = frequency of the signal through the capacitor
C = capacitance of the capacitor.
Also, from Ohm's law, the voltage(V) across the capacitor is given by the product of current(I) and the capacitive reactance. i.e;
V = I x [Substitute the value of
=> V = I x 
[Make f the subject of the formula]
=> f = 
---------------------(i)
From the question;
I = 3.33mA = 0.00333A
C = 8.50nF = 8.50 x 10⁻⁹F
V = 12.0V
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;
f = 
[Taking 
= 3.142]
f = 5.19 x 10³Hz
Therefore, the frequency is closest to f = 5.19 x 10³Hz
Yep. 'a', 'b', and 'c' are all accurate.
Actually, 'b' doesn't go far enough. Light is not only "faster than
anything else we know of", we now know that it's impossible for
anything with mass to ever hit that speed, so we can just quit looking.
Answer:
v = 12.52 [m/s]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the energy conservation theorem. Which tells us that potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy or vice versa. This is more clearly as the potential energy decreases the kinetic energy increases.
Ep = Ek
where:
Ep = potential energy [J] (units of joules]
Ek = kinetic energy [J]
Ep = m*g*h
where:
m = mass of the rock = 45 [g] = 0.045 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
h = elevation = (20 - 12) = 8 [m]
Ek = 0.5*m*v²
where:
v = velocity [m/s]
The reference level of potential energy is taken as the ground level, at this level the potential energy is zero, i.e. all potential energy has been transformed into kinetic energy. In such a way that when the Rock has fallen 12 [m] it is located 8 [m] from the ground level.
m*g*h = 0.5*m*v²
v² = (g*h)/0.5
v = √(9.81*8)/0.5
v = 12.52 [m/s]
