Answer: The spring constant is K=392.4N/m

Explanation:

According to hook's law the applied force F will be directly proportional to the extension e produced provided the spring is not distorted

The force F=ke

Where k=spring constant

e= Extention produced

h=2m

Given that

e=20cm to meter 20/100= 0.2m

m=100g to kg m=100/1000= 0.1kg

But F=mg

Ignoring air resistance

assuming g=9.81m/s²

Since the compression causes the plastic ball to poses potential energy hence energy stored in the spring

E=1/2ke²=mgh

Substituting our values to find k

First we make k subject of formula

k=2mgh/e²

k=2*0.1*9.81*2/0.1²

K=3.921/0.01

K=392.4N/m

You walk with a velocity of 2 m/s north. You see a man approaching you, and from your frame of
solong [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the man from the frame of  reference of a stationary observer is, V₂ = 5 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Your velocity, V₁ = 2 m/

The velocity of the person, V₂ =?

The velocity of the person relative to you, V₂₁ = 3 m/s

According to the relative velocity of two

                                V₂₁ = V₂ -V₁

∴                               V₂ =  V₂₁ + V₁

On substitution

                                 V₂ = 3 + 2

                                      = 5 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the man from the frame of reference of a stationary observe is, V₂ = 5 m/s

How can inclined planes change the amount of force to move an object? A. Increase height of the inclined plane B. Increase dista
mash [69]

Answer:

Option ( B ) is correct .

Explanation:

To lift a heavy weight , inclined plane is used . Use of inclined plane , makes the task easier because instead of force mg , force mg sinθ is to be used which is less than mg . Here θ is inclination of inclined plane.

If h be the height by which weight is to be lifted

potential energy acquired by weight = mgh

work done by force mg sinθ = mgsinθ x d where d is displacement required .

mg sinθ x d = mgh  ( work done by force = potential energy stored in luggage )

d = h / sinθ

d will be more than h

Hence inclined plane increases the distance to be covered by force applied though it decreases the force itself.

Hence option ( B ) is correct .
