Answer:

At equilibrium, the sum of vertical forces are equal to zero. Let's analyze the downward and upward components of the forces.

Downward forces: F_{down} = Mg (Gravity)(g is the gravitational constant.)

Upward forces: F_{up} = kx (Spring)

Equilibrium condition: Mg - kx = 0.

x = \frac{Mg}{k}

L_{eq} = L_{0} + x

so

L_{eq} = L_{0} + \frac{Mg}{k}.

Explanation:

If there is no masses hanging from the spring, the length of the spring is equal to L_{0}. When there is a mass M hanging, the spring will be stretched by an amount of x. This distance can be found by using the equilibrium condition, that the sum of the forces is equal to zero.

A car accelerates from zero to a speed of 110
Verizon [17]

The car's rate of  acceleration : a = 2.04 m/s²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

speed = 110 km/hr

time = 15 s

Required

The acceleration

Solution

110 km/hr⇒30.56 m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time

a = Δv : Δt

Input the value :

a = 30.56 m/s : 15 s

a = 2.04 m/s²
