Answer:

The value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m

Explanation:

Given;

equilibrium length of the spring, L = 10.0 cm

new length of the spring, L₀ = 14 cm

applied force on the spring, F = 40 N

extension of the spring due to applied force, e = L₀ - L = 14 cm - 10 cm = 4 cm

From Hook's law

Force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension produced, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.

F ∝ e

F = ke

where;

k is the spring constant

k = F / e

k = 40 / 0.04

k = 1000 N/m

Therefore, the value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m

Einstein and Lorentz, being avid tennis players, play a fast-paced game on a court where they stand 25.0 m from each other. Bein
Lerok [7]

Answer:

A) 199.78 J

B) 9.292x10^14 J

C) 4.2x10^7 m/s

D) 0.65 m

E) 1.13x10^-8 sec

D) 2.94x10^-9 sec

Explanation:

mass of ball = 0.0580 kg

A)

If smashed at v = 83.0 m/s, KE is

KE = 0.5mv^2

= 0.5 x 0.0580 x 83.0^2

= 199.78 J

B) if returned at v = 1.79×10^8 m/s, KE will be

KE = 0.5mv^2

= 0.5 x 0.0580 x (1.79×10^8)^2

= 9.292x10^14 J

C) during Einstein's return, velocity of rabbit relative to players is

Vr = 2.21×108 m/s

Rabbit's velocity relative to ball = 2.21×10^8 - 1.79×10^8

= 4.2x10^7 m/s

D) the rabbit's speed approaches the speed of light so we consider relativistic effect. The rabbit's measured distance is

l = l°( 1 - v^2/c^2)

= 2.5(1 - 2.21/3)

= 2.5 x 0.26

= 0.65 m

E) according to the players, the time taken by the rabbit is

t = d/v = 2.5/ 2.21×10^8

= 1.13x10^-8 sec

F) the time for rabbit as measured by rabbit is relativistic

t = t°( 1 - v^2/c^2)

= 1.13x10^-8 (1 - 2.21/3)

= 1.13x10^-8 x 0.26

= 2.94x10^-9 sec

A 4kg box is pressed into a spring. The spring constant k=220N/m. The box is released at the bottom of a frictionless ramp and r
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The stored elastic energy in the spring helps the box to rise to a height of .75 m

So stored elastic energy = potential energy attained

1/2 k d² = mgh , k is spring constant , d is compression in spring , m is mass of box , h is height attained .

Putting the values

.5 x 220 x d² = 4 x 9.8 x .75

d² = .2673

d = .517 m

51.7 cm .

The difference between speed and velocity is that
kvv77 [185]

Answer: C) velocity is a vector and requires a direction.

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of quantities:

- scalars: these are quantities that have only a magnitude

- vectors: there are quantities that have both magnitude and direction

As an example, speed is a scalar while velocity is a vector. Therefore, speed has only a magnitude, while velocity has both magnitude and direction: therefore, the difference between the two quantities is that velocity is a vector and requires a direction, as stated in option C.

A car has a mass of 975 kg. by pushing on the car, evan increses its speed from 0.5 m/s to 3 m/s. what impulse did evan apply to
jarptica [38.1K]
Impulse = change in momentum = F x dt
Where F is sufficiently large and dt is very small(tending to zero).

Therefore impulse = mass x final velocity - mass x initial velocity
                                = 975 x 3 - 975 x 0.5
                                = 2437.5 Kg-m/s. 
Hence option C is correct.
