Answer:
size get smaller maybe there is no object remaining
Answer:
284.4233 N/m
Explanation:
k = Spring constant
x = Compression of spring = 14.5 cm
U = Potential energy = 2.99 J
The potential energy of a spring is given by

Rearranging to get the value of k

The spring constant is 284.4233 N/m
Answer:
420000N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the train = 5.6 x 10⁵kg
Acceleration = 0.75m/s²
Unknown:
Resultant force = ?
Solution:
According to newton's second law, force is the product of mass and acceleration;
Force = mass x acceleration
Resultant force that acts on the train is given below;
Force = 5.6 x 10⁵kg x 0.75m/s² = 420000N
