<u>Answer:</u>

2N/cm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

According to the Hooke's Law, the force required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional distance you can stretch it, which is represented as:

$F=kx$

where, $F$ is the force which is stretching or compressing the spring,

$k$ is the spring constant; and

$x$ is the distance the spring is stretched.

Substituting the given values to find the elastic constant $k$ to get:

$F=kx$

$4=k(2)$

$k=\frac{4}{2}$

$k=2$

Therefore, the elastic constant is 2 Newton/cm.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

$v_{f}=6.47m/s$

Explanation:

Given data

Distance d=7.00 ft= 7*(1/3.281) =2.1336m

Initial velocity vi=0m/s

To find

Final velocity

Solution

From Kinematic equation we know that:

$v_{f}^{2} =v_{i}^{2}+2gd\\v_{f}^{2}=0+2(9.81m/s^{2} ) (2.1336m)\\v_{f}^{2}=41.86\\v_{f}=\sqrt{41.86}\\v_{f}=6.47m/s$

A 10 kg turkey, He kicks the 0.5 kg ball with a force of 50N for 0.2 seconds and the ball flies straight away horizontally from

Harman [31]

Answer:

a. 20m/s

b.50N

c. Turkey has a larger mass than the ball. Neglible final acceleration and therefore remains stationery.

Explanation:

a. Given the force as 50N, times as 0.2seconds and the weight of the ball as 0.5 kg, it's final velocity can be calculated as:

$F\bigtriangleup t=m\bigtriangleup v\\\\50N\times 0.2s=0.5kg\times \bigtriangleup v\\\\\bigtriangleup v=2(50N\times0.2)\\\\=20m/s$

Hence, the velocity of the ball after the kick is 20m/s

b.The force felt by the turkey:

#Applying Newton's 3rd Law of motion, opposite and equal reaction:

-The turkey felt a force of 50N but in the opposite direction to the same force felt by the ball.

c. Using the law of momentum conservation:

-Due to ther external forces exerted on the turkey, it remains stationery.

-The turkey has a larger mass than the ball. It will therefore have a negligible acceleration if any and thus remains stationery.

-Momentum is not conserved due to these external forces.

A spherical asteroid of average density would have a mass of 8.7×1013kg if its radius were 2.0 km. 1. If you and your spacesuit

Law Incorporation [45]

1. 0.16 N

The weight of a man on the surface of asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the man:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

$M=8.7\cdot 10^{13}kg$ is the mass of the asteroid

m = 100 kg is the mass of the man

r = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the distance of the man from the centre of the asteroid

Substituting, we find

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})\frac{(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)(110 kg)}{(2000 m)^2}=0.16 N$

2. 1.7 m/s

In order to stay in orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (so, at a distance r=2000 m from its centre), the gravitational force must be equal to the centripetal force

$m\frac{v^2}{r}=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where v is the minimum speed required to stay in orbit.

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)}{2000 m}}=1.7 m/s$
