The tow spring on a car has a spring constant of 3,086 N / m and is initially stretched 18.00 cm by a 100.0 kg college student o

sdas [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The spring constant of the spring, k = 3086 N/m

The spring is stretched 18 cm or 0.18 m

Mass of the student, m = 100 kg

Potential energy of the spring, $P_f=20\ J$

To find,

The velocity of the car.

Solution,

It is a case of conservation of energy. The total energy of the system remains conserved. So,

$P_i=K_f+P_f$

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20$

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3086\times (0.18)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20$

$50-20=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$30=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{60}{100}}$

v = 0.774 m/s

So, the velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.

A firewoman dropped a person onto the safety net. Right before the person hit the net he had a

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The Mass of a person is calculated to be 28.6kg .

Explanation:

This is based on Kinetic energy and we know, that Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by body by virtue of its motion .

It can be calculated by expression :

K.E=1/2mv²

Velocity of a person = 11.2m/sec

Kinetic energy = 1800J

Mass of person = ?

We know ,

K.E=1/2mv²

so, putting values we have :

1800=1/2 x m x (11.2)²

That is ,

m=1800 x 2 /11.2 x 11.2

m=3600/125.44

m = 28.6 kg

If the specific gravity of copper is 8.91, it weighs:

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The specific gravity of copper is 8.91.

We have

$\frac{\texttt{Density of copper}}{\texttt{Density of water}}=8.91\\\\\texttt{Density of copper}=8.91\times 1000kg/m^3=8910kg/m^3$

We also have

1 kg = 2.205 lb

1 m = 3.28 ft

Substituting

$\texttt{Density of copper}=8910kg/m^3=\frac{8910\times 2.205}{3.28^3}=556.76lb/ft^3$

Option D is the correct answer.
