k = spring constant of the spring = 15 N/m

x₀ = initial position of the spring = 0.3 m

x = final position of the spring = 0.4 m

Δx = stretch in the spring

stretch in the spring is given as

Δx = x - x₀

Δx = 0.4 - 0.3

Δx = 0.1 m

the spring force balances the weight

hence

F = force by the weight

using equilibrium of force in vertical direction

force by weight = spring force

F = k Δx

inserting the values

F = 15 x 0.1

F = 1.5 N

the force by weight is also known as force of gravity.

A firefighting crew uses a water cannon that shoots water at 25.0 m/s at a fixed angle of 53.0° above the horizontal. The fire-f

zysi [14]

Answer:

8.8 m and 52.5 m

Explanation:

The vertical component and horizontal component of water velocity leaving the hose are

$v_v = vsin(\alpha) = 25sin(53^0) = 25*0.8 = 19.97 m/s$

$v_h = vcos(\alpha) = 25cos(53^0) = 25*0.6 = 15 m/s$

Neglect air resistance, vertically speaking, gravitational acceleration g = -9.8m/s2 is the only thing that affects water motion. We can find the time t that it takes to reach the blaze 10m above ground level

$s = v_vt + gt^2/2$

$10 = 19.97t - 9.8t^2/2$

$4.9t^2 - 19.97t + 10 = 0$

$t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$t= \frac{19.9658877511823\pm \sqrt{(-19.9658877511823)^2 - 4*(4.9)*(10)}}{2*(4.9)}$

$t= \frac{19.9658877511823\pm14.24}{9.8}$

t = 3.49 or t = 0.58

We have 2 solutions for t, one is 0.58 when it first reach the blaze during the 1st shoot up, the other is 3.49s when it falls down

t is also the times it takes to travel across horizontally. We can use this to compute the horizontal distance between the fire-fighters and the building

$s_1 = v_ht_1 = 15*0.58 = 8.8 m$

$s_2 = v_ht_2 = 15*3.49 = 52.5m$

A 25,000 kg traveling east collides with a 2,000 kg truck standing still on the tracks. After the collision the train and truck

Elis [28]

Answer:

24.084 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision

Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity

$M_{truck}V_{truck}=V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})$ where $M_{truck}$ is the mass of the truck, $V_{truck}$ is velocity of the truck, $V_{common}$ is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and $M_{standing}$ is the mass of the standing truck

Making $V_{truck}$ the subject we obtain

$V_{truck}=\frac { V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})}{M_{truck}}$

Substituting $M_{truck}$ as 25000 Kg, $V_{common}$ as 22.3 m/s, $M_{standing}$ as 2000 Kg we obtain

$V_{truck}=\frac { 22.3 m/s *(25000 Kg +2000 Kg)}{25000}= 24.084 m/s$

Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive

The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s
