Answer:

x is the displacement of spring

Explanation:

The Hooke's law gives the force acting on the spring when it is compressed or stretched. The mathematical expression for force is given by :

$F=-kx$

Where

k is the spring constant of and it shows the stiffness of spring.

x shows the displacement of spring when it is stretched or compressed from equilibrium position and it acts in opposite direction.

2. Can you place three forces of 5g, 6g, and 12g so they are in equilibrium. Justify your answer.

Bond [772]

Answer:

We cannot place three forces of 5g, 6g, and 12g in equilibrium.

Explanation:

Equilibrium means their sum must be zero.

Here the forces are 5g, 6g, and 12g.

For number of forces to be in equilibrium the magnitude of largest vector should be less than sum of the magnitude of other vectors.

Here

Magnitude of largest force = 12 g

Sum of magnitudes of other forces = 5g + 6g = 11g

Magnitude of largest force > Sum of magnitudes of other forces

So this forces cannot form equilibrium.

We cannot place three forces of 5g, 6g, and 12g in equilibrium.

The helicopter was deformed and destroyed in the __?___ collision.

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The helicopter was deformed and destroyed in the inelastic collision.

Explanation:

When two object collide there exist two way of colliding: elastic collision and inelastic collision.
Two terms are considered during the collision: kinetic energy and momentum.
If both of these terms are conserved in any collision then there is no significant loss of property, this is called as elastic collision.

If only momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is converted into other forms then it is inelastic collision. In inelastic collision, the energy is lost in the form of vibration, sound etc. causing the damage to colliding object.

Hence the deformation of helicopter was due to inelastic collision.

A bomb is dropped from a bomber traveling at the speed of 120 km / h, destroying a military objective located at a distance of 2

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

18 km

Explanation:

Convert km/h to m/s:

120 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 h / 3600 s) = 33.3 m/s

The time it takes the bomb to travel the 2000 meters is:

2000 m / (33.3 m/s) = 60 s

So it takes 60 seconds for the bomb to fall. The distance it fell is therefore:

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

Δy = (0 m/s) (60 s) + ½ (10 m/s²) (60 s)²

Δy = 18,000 m

Δy = 18 km

An object is dropped from a bridge. A second object is thrown downward 1.48 s later. They both reach the water 48.1 m below at t

pashok25 [27]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. With the data provided we will calculate the time of the first object to fall. Later we will get the time difference between the two. This difference will allow us to find the free fall distance. Through the distance we will find the initial velocity, that is,

$x = v_0 t +\frac{1}{2}at^2$
