Answer:

x = 5.79 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car = 39000 Kg

spring constant = 5.7 x 10⁵ N/m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

height of the track = 25 m

length of spring compressed = ?

using conservation of energy

potential energy is converted into spring energy

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2 m g h}{k}}

x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000 \times 9.8 \times 25}{5.7 \times 10^{5}}}

x =\sqrt{33.5263}

x = 5.79 m

the spring is compressed to x = 5.79 m to stop the car.

A projectile is fired with a velocity of 22 m/s at an angle of 25°. What is the vertical component of the velocity?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Vertical component of velocity is 9.29 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of projection of a projectile, v = 22 m/s

It is fired at an angle of 22°

The horizontal component of velocity is v cosθ

The vertical component of velocity is v sinθ

So, vertical component is given by :

v_y=v\ sin(25)

v_y=22\ m/s\times\ sin(25)

v_y=9.29\ m/s

Hence, the vertical component of the velocity is 9.29 m/s

A car is making a 40 mi trip. It travels the first half of the total distance 20.0 mi at 18.00 mph and the last half of the tota
sukhopar [10]

Answer: The average speed is 27,24 mph (exactly 1008/37 mph)

Explanation:

This is solved using a three rule: We know the speeds and the distances, what we can obtain from it is the time used. It is done like this:

1h--->18mi

X ---->20 mi, then X=20mi*1h/18mi= 10/9 h=1,111 h

1h--->56mi

X ---->20 mi, then X=20mi*1h/56mi= 5/14 h=0,35714 h

Then the average speed is calculated by taking into account that it was traveled 40mi and the time used was 185/126 h=1,468 h and since speed is distance over time we get the answer. Average speed= 40mi/(185/126 h)=1008/37 mph=27,24 mph.
