F=K*X,
F=M*a

M*a=K*X

2.5*9.81=K*0.0276

24.525=K*0.0276

24.525/0.0276=K

K= 888.6 N/m ---- force constant

assuming 2.5 refers to the new extension, just divide F/ 0.025
to get

981N/m

Answer:

v = 5.15 m/s

Explanation:

At constant velocity, the cable tension will equal the car weight of 984(9.81) = 9,653 N

As the cable tension is less than this value, the car must be accelerating downward.

7730 = 984(9.81 - a)

a = 1.95 m/s²

kinematic equations s = ut + ½at² and v = u + at

-5.00 = u(4.00) + ½(-1.95)4.00²

u = 2.65 m/s the car's initial velocity was upward at 2.65 m/s

v = 2.65 + (-1.95)(4.00)

v = -5.15 m/s

Two poles are connected by a wire that is also connected to the ground. The first pole is 20ft tall and the second pole is 10ft

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: 31.6ft

Explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram.

According to the right angle triangle AEC, we will use Pythagoras theorem to get |AC|. Note that |AE| = |AB| - |CD|

that is 20ft - 10ft = 10ft

According to the theorem, the square of the sum of the adjacent side and the opposite side is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

|AE|^2 + |EC|^2 = |AC|^2

10^2 + 30^2 = |AC|^2

100 + 900 = |AC|^2

|AC| = √1000

|AC| = 31.6ft

Therefore, the wire should be anchored 31.6ft to the ground to minimize the amount of wire needed.

How do force affect the acceleration of a body?<br><br>

Arada [10]

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

The seismic activity density of a region is the ratio of the number of earthquakes during a given time span to the land area aff

Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.0059

Explanation:

According to the question the seismic activity density is given by

$\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{\text{Number of Earthquakes over a given time span}}{\text{The land area affected}}$
