Answer:

Explanation:

Solution,

When a certain object comes in motion from rest, in the case, initial velocity = 0 m/s

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 72 km/h ( Given)

We have to convert 72 km /h in m/s

$72 \: km \: per \: hour$

$= 72 \times \frac{1000}{60 \times 60}$

$= 20$ m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time taken ( t ) = 2 seconds

Acceleration (a) = ?

Now,

we have,

$a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

$a = \frac{20 - 0}{2}$

$a = \frac{20}{2}$

$a = 10$ m/s ^2

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

zloy xaker [14]

Solution :

Given :

Mass attached to the spring = 4 kg

Mass dropped = 6 kg

Force constant = 100 N/m

Initial amplitude = 2 m

Therefore,

a). $v_{initial} = A w$

$= 2 \times \sqrt{\frac{100}{4}}$

= 10 m/s

Final velocity, v at equilibrium position, v = 5 m/s

Now, $\frac{1}{2}(4+4)5^2 = \frac{1}{2} kA'$

A' = amplitude = 1.4142 m

b). $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

m' = 2m

Hence, $T'=\sqrt2 T$

c). $\frac{\frac{1}{2}(4+4)5^2 + \frac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 10^2}{\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 10^2}$

$=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, factor $=\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, the energy will change half times as the result of the collision.

<h3>What is a momentum?</h3>

In Newtonian physics, an object's linear momentum, translational momentum, or simply momentum is defined as the product of its mass and velocity.
It has both a magnitude and a direction, making it a vector quantity. The object's momentum, p, is defined as: p=mv if m is the object's mass and v is its velocity (also a vector quantity).
The kilogram metre per second (kg m/s), or newton-second in the International System of Units (SI), is the unit used to measure momentum.
The rate of change of a body's momentum is equal to the net force exerted on it, according to Newton's second law of motion.
