<span>Hooke's law is F=-kx, which means the elastic force contained by the spring is a product of the distance it stretches and its spring constant, but the direction of the force is opposite that of the displacement. We calculate as follows:
</span><span>(3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = -k(-0.38 m)
</span>k =<span> 77.4
</span><span>Then use k to find the new displacement, again using Hooke's law:
(7 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = -(77.4)x
x = -0.89 m</span>
Can't really plot a graph here for question 1.
2a) The car speeds up from A to B. The car travels at a constant speed from B to C. The car slows down to a stop from C to D.
b) From the graph, at 10 seconds, the car is moving at 20 m/s.
When an object does not move even on pushing , static frictional force acts on in opposite direction of the applied force to stop the object from moving. static frictional force is a self adjusting force and it adjust its value according to the applied force if the applied force is smaller than the maximum value of static frictional force. The object starts moving once the applied force on it becomes greater than the maximum static frictional force. hence the statement is true.
1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches
(55 gal) x (231 in³/gal) x (1 ft³/1728 in³)
= (55 x 231 / 1728) ft³
= 7.352 cubic feet (rounded)
