Answer:

625000 N/ m

Explanation:

m= 20 kg

v= 30 m/s

x= 12 cm

k = ?

Here when the mass when hits at spring its speed is

Vi= 30 m/s

Finally it comes to rest after compressing for 12 cm

i-e Vf = 0 m/s

Distance= S= 12 cm = 0.12 m

using

2aS= Vf2 - Vi2

==> 2a ×0.12 = o- 30 × 30

==> a = 900 ÷ 0.24 = 3750 m/sec2

Now we know;

F = ma

F= -Kx

==> ma= -kx

==> 20 × 3750 = -K × 0.12

==> k = 625000 N/ m

A certain car traveling in a straight line path has a velocity of +10.0 m/s at some instant. after 3.00 s, its velocity is +6.00
makvit [3.9K]
The formula is:
v = v o + a t
6 = 10 + 3 * a
3 a = 10 - 6
a = 4 : 3
a =  - 1.33 m/s² ( because the car slows down )
Answer: The average acceleration of the car is - 1.33 m/s²
