A bumper cart has a mass of 200 kg and has a protective bumper around it that behaves like a spring. The spring constant is 5000

n/m. If the cart is moving at a speed of 8 m/s towards a solid barrier, and upon impact, is momentarily brought to rest.
a) How much elastic potential energy will be stored in the spring when it is fully compressed?

b) What is the average force exerted by the spring if it is compressed by a distance of 0.2 meters?

Part A:
For this part we’re assuming all the kinetic energy of the moving bumper car is converted into elastic potential energy in the spring since the car is brought to rest. Therefore you can find the total kinetic energy to get your answer:

KE = ½ mv^2
KE = ½ (200)(8)^2
KE = 6400 J

Part B:
Now you can use Hooke’s law to find the force:

F = kx
F = (5000)(0.2)
F = 1000 N

A test tube of length L and cross-sectional area A is submerged in water with the open end down so that the edge of the tube is
Margaret [11]

Answer:

if we measure the change in height of the gas within the had and obtain a straight line in relation to the depth we can conclude that the air complies with Boye's law.

Explanation:

The air in the tube can be considered an ideal gas,

           P V = nR T

In that case we have the tube in the air where the pressure is P1 = P_atm, then we introduce the tube to the water to a depth H

For pressure the open end of the tube is

         P₂ = P_atm + ρ g H

Let's write the gas equation for the colon

            P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

            P_atm V₁ = (P_atm + ρ g H) V₂

             V₂ = V₁    P_atm / (P_atm + ρ g h)

If the air obeys Boyle's law e; volume within the had must decrease due to the increase in pressure, if we measure the change in height of the gas within the had and obtain a straight line in relation to the depth we can conclude that the air complies with Boye's law.

The main assumption is that the temperature during the experiment does not change

The length of a wooden rod is 25.5 cm. What is this length in:<br>(a) millimetres?<br>(b) metres?​
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

(a)255mm \\ (b)0.255m

Explanation:

(a)1cm = 10mm \\ 25.5cm = x

Cross multiply

1x = 25.5 \times 10 \\ x = 255mm

(b)100cm = 1m \\ 25.5cm = x

cross multiply

100x = 25.5 \\  \frac{100x}{100}  =  \frac{25.5}{100}  \\ x = 0.255m

hope this helps

brainliest appreciated

good luck! have a nice day!
