An ideal spring is hung vertically from the ceiling. The spring constant is k = 125 N/m. A block of mass m = 650 g (1000 g = 1 k

g) is then attached to the free end and block extends the spring under its weight until it stops moving. Calculate the maximum extension of the spring due to the block. (Hint: when the system comes to equilibrium, the net force on the block must be zer0.)

Answer:

0.102 m

Explanation:

k = spring constant of the spring = 125 N/m

m = mass of the block attached to the spring = 650 g = 0.650 kg

x = maximum extension of the spring

h = height dropped by the block = x

Using conservation of energy

Spring potential energy gained = Gravitational potential energy lost

(0.5) k x² = mgh

(0.5) k x² = mgx

(0.5) (125) x = (0.650) (9.8)

x = 0.102 m

According to Newton’s first law of motion, what will an object in motion do when no external force acts on it?
KonstantinChe [14]

By definition, we have to:

Newton's first law states that any object will remain in a state of rest or with a uniform rectilinear motion unless an external force acts on it.

Therefore, according to the first law of Newton, if the object is already in motion and has no force acting on it then, it will remain with a uniform rectilinear motion.

Answer:

The object will remain with a uniform rectilinear movement when the external force does not act on it.

A tennis player hits a ball 2.0 m above the ground.
tangare [24]

Explanation:

initial height, yo = 2 m

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

angle of projection,θ = 5 degree

distance of net = 7 m

height of net = 1 m

Let it covers a vertical distance y in time t .

Use Second equation of motion for vertical motion

As it hits the ground in time t, so put y = 0

Taking positive sign, t = 0.84 s

The ball travels a horizontal distance x in time t

X = 20 Cos5 x t

X =  16.76 m

As this distance is more than the distance of net, so it clears the net.

Let t' be the time taken to travel a horizontal distance equal to the distance of net

7 = 20 cos5 x t'

t' = 0.35 s

Let the vertical distance traveled by the ball in time t' is y'.

So,

y' = 2.008 m

So, it clears the net which is 1 m high.

It clears the net by a vertical distance of 2.008 - 1 = 1.008 m and horizontal distance 16.76 - 7 = 9.76 m

your welcome, and have a great day.
