Answer:
0.266 m
Explanation:
Assuming the lump of patty is 3 Kg then applying the principal of conservation of linear momentum,
P= mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is the speed of an object. In this case
where sunscripts p and b represent putty and block respectively, c is common velocity.
Substituting the given values then
3*8=v(15+3)
V=24/18=1.33 m/s
The resultant kinetic energy is transferred to spring hence we apply the law of conservation of energy
where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring. Substituting the given values then

-- In order to achieve constant verlocity, the net force on the mass must be zero. So if there ARE any forces acting on it, they must be balanced.
-- There is already a force on the mass that can't be eliminated . . . the force of gravity.
-- That force due to gravity is (mass x gravity) = (25 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = <em><u>245N</u></em> in the <u><em>downward</em></u> direction.
-- In order to 'balance' the forces and make them add up to zero, we have to provide another force of <em>245N</em>, all in the <em>upward</em> direction.
-- Then the forces on the object will be balanced, the NET force on it will be zero, and whichever way you start it moving, it will continue to move at a cornstant verlocity.
Answer:
They are automated to turn off when you shut the door but if you leave it open barely enough or climb into the fridge yourself you can see that it turns off.
