The four wheels of a car are connected to the car's body by spring assemblies that let the wheels move up and down over bumps an

d dips in the road. When a 68 kg (about 150 lb) person sits on the left front fender of a small car, this corner of the car dips by about 1.2 cm (about 1/2 in).
If we treat the spring assembly as a single spring, what is the approximate spring constant?

k= ____________

Answer:

The approximate  spring constant is  k =  55533.33 \  N/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  mass of the person is  m =  68 \ kg

     The  dip of the car is  x =  1.2 \ cm  =  0.012 \ m

Generally according to hooks law  

        F  =  k * x

here the force F is the weight of the person which is mathematically represented as

         F =  m * g

=>    m * g  =  k * x

=>     k  =  \frac{m * g }{x }

=>    k  =  \frac{68 *  9.8}{ 0.012}

=>   k =  55533.33 \  N/m

HELP! A helicopter winches up an injured person from a boat. The person plus the equipment that must be pulled up with the perso
Marat540 [252]

When a person is pulled upwards why the motor of the helicopter

Then the potential energy increased  of the person is given as

U = mgh

here m = 109 kg

h = 83 m

so here potential energy of the person given as

U = 109*9.8*83

U = 88660.6 J

now power is defined as rate of energy

so it took 55 s to pull the mass so power is given as

P = \frac{U}{t} = \frac{88660.6}{55} = 1612 W

now we know that efficiency of motor is given as 69%

so we have

efficiency = \frac{output}{input}

0.69 = \frac{1612}{P}

so we have power as

P = \frac{1612}{0.69} = 2336.2 W

How is budgeting different for most states than for the federal government?
meriva

There are three general kinds of state balanced budget requirements:

<span>The governor's proposed budget must be balanced (43 states and Puerto Rico).The budget the legislature passes must be balanced (39 states and Puerto Rico).<span>The budget must be balanced at the end of a fiscal year or biennium, so that no deficit can be carried forward (37 states and Puerto Rico).
</span></span><span>Nature of state balanced-budget requirements All the states except Vermont have a legal requirement of a balanced budget. Some are constitutional, some are statutory, and some have been derived by judicial decision from constitutional provisions about state indebtedness that do not, on their face, call for a balanced budget. The General Accounting Office has commented that "some balanced budget requirements are based on interpretations of state constitutions and statutes rather than on an explicit statement that the state must have a balanced budget."

An eagle flying through the air is an example of _____.
Likurg_2 [28]
<span>So the question is what is an eagle flying trough the air an example of? Kinetic enegry, potential energy or released energy? So when we have a stationary object on some height h, that object has potential energy. When an object starts o change its altitude, the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy. So the correct answer is kinetic energy because an eagle flying changes its height.</span>
