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?

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

Starting from rest, a 6.79 kg block slides 2.82 m down a rough 20.7 ◦ incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the b
Veronika [31]

Answer:

23.52092 J

Explanation:

m = Mass of block = 6.79 kg

s = Sliding distance = 2.82 m

\theta = Angle of slide = 20.7°

\mu = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.425

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Work done by the force of gravity is given by

W=mgsin\theta\\\Rightarrow W=6.79\times 9.8\times sin20.7\\\Rightarrow W=23.52092\ J

The work done by the force of gravity is 23.52092 J

Exactly one pound of bread dough is placed in a baking tin. the dough is cooked in an oven at 350 °f releasing a wonderful aroma
Sladkaya [172]
The mass of the baked loaf will be less than the original dough. In making dough for bread, we have ingredients that are liquid such as water, melted butter, food flavoring, etc. All of this liquid ingredients mixed on the dough will definitely turn into vapor. This vapor is responsible for releasing of the aroma of the freshly baked bread.
