A 20-newton weight is attached to a spring.

Physics
1 answer:
Makovka662 [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

40 N/m

Explanation:

The diagram attached is used to answer the question

We know from Hooke's law that extension is directly proportional to the applied force hence

F=kx where x is extension, F is applied force and k is the spring constant. Making k the subject of the formula then

k=\frac {F}{k}

From the attached diagram extension is given by subtracting unstretched spring from stretched spring hence extension, x=1-0.5=0.5m

Substituting 20 N for F and 0.5 m for x then

k=\frac {20}{0.5}=40 N/m

Orlov [11]
The answer is <span>C. 49 m/s

The kinetic equation is:
v2 = v1 + a * t

v1 - initial velocity
v2 - final velocity
a - gravitational acceleration
t - time

We know:
v2 = ?
v1 = 0 (in free fall
a = 9.8 m/s
t = 5

</span>v2 = v1 + a * t
v2 = 0 + 9.8 * 5
v2 = 0 + 49
v2 = 49 m/s

A 26.2-kg dog is running northward at 3.02 m/s, while a 5.30-kg cat is running eastward at 2.74 m/s. Their 65.1-kg owner has the
REY [17]

Answer:

Angle with the +x axis is θ = 79.599degree

Then the velocity of owner = 1.235m/s

Explanation:

Given that the mass of dog is m1 =26.2 kg

velocity of dog is u1 = 3.02 m/s (north)

mass of cat is m2 = 5.3 kg

velocity is u2 = 2.74 m/s (east )

Mass of owner is M = 65.1 kg

Consider the east direction along +x axis andnorth along +y

momentum of dog is Py = m1 x u1

= 79.124 kg.m/s (j)

momentum of cat is Px = m2 x u2

= 14.522 kg.m/s (i)

Then the net magnitude of momentum is P = (Px2 + Py2)1/2

= 80.445

Angle with the +x axis is θ =tan-1(Py / Px ) = 79.599 degree

Then the velocity of owner is v = P / M = 1.235 m/s
