A 69 kg driver gets into an empty taptap to start the day's work. The springs compress 2×10−2 m . What is the effective spring c
natulia [17]

Answer:

3.4\cdot 10^4 N/m

Explanation:

The spring system in the taptap obey's Hooke's law, which states that:

F=kx

where

F is the magnitude of the force applied

k is the spring constant

x is the compression/stretching of the spring

In this problem:

- The force applied is the weight of the driver of mass m = 69 kg, so

F=mg=(69 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=676.2 N

- The compression of the spring is

x=2\cdot 10^{-2} m=0.02 m

So, the spring constant is

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{676.2 N}{0.02 m}=3.4\cdot 10^4 N/m

In an experiment to estimate the acceleration due to gravity, a student drops a ball at a distance of 1 m above the floor. His l
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

9.45179\ m/s^2

s=4.725895t^2

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 0.46

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 1 m

a = Acceleration

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 1=0\times 0.46+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 0.46^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{1\times 2}{0.46^2}\\\Rightarrow a=9.45179\ m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.45179 m/s²

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{1}{2}9.45179t^2\\\Rightarrow s=4.725895t^2

The function is s=4.725895t^2

engineers who design battery operated devices suck as sell phones and MP3 players try to make them as efficient as possible. An
ICE Princess25 [194]
If the 5,500 J of sound and light is the ONLY useful output
from the phone, then the phone's efficiency is

                   (5,500J / 10,000J)  =  0.55  =  55% .

But the test engineer forgot one little minor almost insignificant detail.
As a test engineer myself, I'd say that he needs to turn in his laptop
and soldering iron, and think about changing his career to a job for
which he may be better suited, like 8 hours a day in a highway toll-booth.  

What about that little radio transmitter and receiver inside the phone,
that maintain digital RF communication with the nearest cell tower ?
Without that microscopic radio transceiver ... plus 30 or 40 apps
that are always running unless you shut them off ... the device in your
pocket is essentially a flat rock with one side that sometimes glows.

A person takes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 99.5 km/h, except for a 26.0-min rest stop. The person's average speed i
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

1.65 h

121.39 km

Explanation:

Given that

speed of the driver, v = 99.5 km/h

time spent resting, t = 26 min

Average speed of the driver = 73.6 km/h

check attachment for calculation and how I arrived at the answer

A 3kg book falls from a 2m tall bookshelf what is the speed <br><br> PICTURE included
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

39.2m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy the book has right before it falls is equal to the kinetic energy in falling.

PE = KE

mgh = (1/2)mv

2gh=v

v=(2)(9.81)(2)

v=39.24m/s
