Is a spring stores 5 J of energy when its conpresses by 0.5 m what is the spring constant of the spring?
1 answer:
Answer:
k = 40 N/m
Explanation:
A spring's energy is given:

U is the energy in the spring, k is the spring constant and x is the spring displacement.
We are told that the spring stores 5J of energy, therefore, U = 5J. We are also told that the spring is compressed by 0.5m, so the spring x = 0.5m

k = 40 N/m
Hope this helps!

Answer:
1.69515 seconds
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration

The distance between the traffic and the car after braking is 120-64.06 = 55.94 m
Time = Distance / Speed

The reaction time cannot be more than 1.69515 seconds
Energy is the ability to do work.
So work can not be done without the transfer of energy from one body to another.
Work is the transfer of energy.
Answer:
ugmd = 1/2 kx²
d = (1/2 kx²) / (ugm)
= (1/2 * 250 N/m * (0.2 m)²) / (0.23 * 9.81 m/s² * 0.3 kg)
= 7.4 m
ugmd = 1/2 mv²
v = √2ugd
= √(2(0.23)(9.81 m/s²)(7.4 m)
= 5.8 m/s

Answer choice d is correct
