A spring with a spring constant of 120 J/m2 is fixed to a wall, free to oscillate. On the other end, a ball with a mass of 1500

g is attached. The spring-mass is then stretched 50 cm, and released. What is the top speed of the attached ball? 0 A. 4.47 m/s B. 447 m/s C. 0.14 m/s D. 6.32 m/s

Answer:

A. 4.47 m/s

Explanation:

As the ball oscillates, it mechanical energy, aka the total kinetic and elastics energy stays the same. For the ball to be at maximum speed, its elastic energy i 0 and vice versa. When the ball is at rest, its kinetic energy is 0 and its elastic energy is at maximum at 50 cm, or 0.5 m

1500 g = 1.5 kg

E_e = E_k

kx^2/2 = mv^2/2

120*0.5^2/2 = 1.5*v^2/2

15 = 0.75v^2

v^2 = 15 / 0.75 = 20

v = \sqrt{20} = 4.47 m/s

A racecar accelerates uniformly from 18.5 mil to 46.1 m/s in 2.47 seconds.
laiz [17]

Answer:

<em>The acceleration of the racecar is</em> \mathbf{11.17~m/s^2}

Explanation:

<u>Uniformly Accelerated Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Following the definition above, the acceleration is defined as:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

Where a is the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time.

The racecar goes from vo=18.5 m/s to vf=46.1 m/s in t=2.47 seconds, thus the acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{46.1-18.5}{2.47}

\displaystyle a=\frac{27.6}{2.47}

a = 11.17~m/s^2

The acceleration of the racecar is \mathbf{11.17~m/s^2}

What does Newton's 2nd Law explain?
kow [346]

Answer:

C. Why you must push harder to move a car farther.

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Acceleration = \frac {Force}{mass}

Hence, Newton's 2nd Law explains why you must push harder to move a car farther because of its mass. Thus, it is important to increase the force that the engine provides and decrease the mass of the car.

A 0.47 kg mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 130 N/m so that the mass is allowed to move on a horizontal fri
Sidana [21]

Answer:

F= 15.6 N,   a= 33.2 m/s^2

Explanation:

mass= m = 0.47 kg

spring constant= k = 130N/m

spring compression = x = 0.12 m

a).

force on the mass= F = k*x

F = 130 * 0.12 N

F= 15.6 N

b).

Acceleration of mass= a=?

F= ma

a=F / m

a= 15.6/ 0.47 m/s^2

a= 33.2 m/s^2
