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 parked car's horn (belonging to a musician) emits a concert A of frequency 440 on a day when the speed of sound is 342 m/s. Yo
julsineya [31]

Answer:

19.08 m/s

Explanation:

f = actual frequency emitted by the parked car's horn = 440 Hz

V = speed of sound = 342 m/s

f' = frequency of the horn observed by you = 466 Hz

v = speed of your car moving towards the parked car = ?

frequency of the horn observed by you is given as

f' = \frac{Vf}{V - v}

466 = \frac{(342)(440)}{342 - v}

v = 19.08 m/s

if vector u has lenght 70 and direction 40 degrees, and vector v has length 85 and direction 335 degrees what is the length and
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Magnitude of resultant = 131.15

Direction of resultant = 3.97°

Explanation:

||u|| = 70

θ = 40°

\vec{u}_x=||u||cos\theta \\\Rightarrow \vec{u}_x=70cos40=53.62

\vec{u}_y=||u||sin\theta \\\Rightarrow \vec{u}_y=70sin40=44.99

||v|| = 85

θ = 335°

\vec{v}_x=||v||cos\theta \\\Rightarrow \vec{v}_x=85cos335=77.03

\vec{v}_y=||v||sin\theta \\\Rightarrow \vec{v}_y=85sin335=-35.92

Resultant

R=\sqrt{R_x^2+R_y^2}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{(\vec{u}_x+\vec{v}_x)^2+(\vec{u}_y+\vec{v}_y)^2}\\\Rightarrow R =\sqrt{(70cos40+85cos335)^2+(70sin40+85sin335)^2}\\\Rightarrow R =131.15

\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{R_y}{R_x}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}\frac{70sin40+85sin335}{70cos40+85cos335}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}0.069=3.97^{\circ}

Magnitude of resultant = 131.15

Direction of resultant = 3.97°
