Newton's 2nd law of motion: Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Divide each side by (mass) : Acceleration = (force) / (mass)
Acceleration of the truck = (4,200 N) / (2,000 kg) = 2.1 m/s²
A distance of 10.8 cm beyond its natural length will a force of 30 N keep this spring stretched
<u>Explanation:</u>
Work, W = 2 J
Initial distance,
= 30 cm
Final distance, = 42 cm
Force, F = 30 N
Stretched length, x = ?
We know,
W = 1/2 kΔx²
Δx = 42-30 cm = 12 cm = 0.12 m
2 J = 1/2 k X (0.12)²
k = 277.77 N/m
According to Hooke's law,
F = kx
30 N = 277.77 X x
x = 0.108 m
x = 10.8 cm
A distance of 10.8 cm beyond its natural length will a force of 30 N keep this spring stretched.
First, we must find the power consumed by the light bulb. This is given by:
Power = voltage * current
Power = 250 * 0.8
Power = 200 W = 0.2 kW
Now, we must calculate the number of hours that the bulb is used, as the price given to us is in Rs/kWh. This is:
8 hours per day * 30 days
= 240 hours
Total kWh = 0.2 * 240
Total kWh = 48 kWh
Bill = 3 * 48
Bill = 144 Rs
