Answer:

L_{o}=0.1224m

Explanation:

Given data

Force F=2 N

Length L=17 cm = 0.17 m

Spring Constant k=42 N/m

To find

Relaxed length of the spring

Solution

From Hooke's Law we know that

F_{spring}=k_{s}|s|\\F_{spring}=k_{s}(L-L_{o})\\ 2N=(42N/m)(0.17m-L_{o})\\2=7.14-42L_{o}\\-42L_{o}=2-7.14\\42L_{o}=5.14\\L_{o}=(5.14/42)\\L_{o}=0.1224m

a police officer finds 60 m of skid marks at the scene of a car crash. Assuming a uniform deceleration of 7.5 m/s to a stop , wh
Oliga [24]
The equation to be used is for the rectilinear motion at constant acceleration:

x = v₀t + 0.5at²
a = (v-v₀)/t
where
x is distance
v and v₀ is the final and initial velocity
t is time
a is acceleration

Because the acceleration is decelerating, that would be reported as -7.5 m/s². Substituting,

-7.5 = (0 - v₀)/t
v₀ = 7.5 t --> eqn 1

x = v₀t + 0.5at²
60 = (7.5t)(t) + 0.5(-7.5)(t²)
Solving for t,
t = 4s

Thus,
v₀ = 7.5 m/s² * 4s
v₀ = 30 m/s

A truck covers 40.0 m in 7.50 s while uniformly slowing down to a final velocity of 2.55 m/s. (a) Find the truck's original spee
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

(a) 8.117 (b) 0.742m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given distance s =40 m time t=7.5 sec

Final velocity v =2.55 m/sec

From the first equation of motion v=u-at (negative sign because there is retrdation as the truck speed is slowing down )

So 2.55=u-7.5a --------------eqn 1

From the second equation of motion s=ut-\frac{1}{2}at^2 ( negative sign because there is retrdation as the truck speed is slowing down )

So 40=7.5u-0.5\times a\times 7.5^2

40=7.5u-28.125a------------------eqn 2

On solving eqn1 and eqn 2

u=8.117 m/sec and a=-0.742m/sec^2

How much work is done when a very large force is applied to an object but does not move the object?
Ierofanga [76]
                         Work  =  (force) x (distance)

If the distance is zero (the object doesn't move), then it
doesn't matter how great the force is.  The work is still zero.

the object is in _________ when the vector sum of the force is acting on the object is equal to zero​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Equilibrium

Explanation:

An object is in equilibrium when the vector sum of the force acting on the object is equal to zero.

A body in equilibrium is at state of rest of rest or in motion with no external force acting on it.

  • The resultant of all forces acting on the body is zero.
  • In this case there is no net force and the body will be at rest.
