Plant trees on places where forests have been chopped down to restore damaged ecosystems. Encourage individuals to live in a way that is environmentally friendly. Create parks to conserve the rainforests and animals. Companies that operate in environmentally friendly methods should be supported.
Information that is given:
a = -5.4m/s^2
v0 = 25 m/s
---------------------
S = ?
Calculate the S(distance car traveled) with the formula for velocity of decelerated motion:
v^2 = v0^2 - 2aS
The velocity at the end of the motion equals zero (0) because the car stops, so v=0.
0 = v0^2 - 2aS
v0^2 = 2aS
S = v0^2/2a
S = (25 m/s)^2/(2×5.4 m/s^2)
S = (25 m/s)^2/(10.8 m/s^2)
S = (625 m^2/s^2)/(10.8 m/s^2)
S = 57.87 m
The total kinetic and potential energies
Answer:
x = 5.79 m
Explanation:
given,
mass of the car = 39000 Kg
spring constant = 5.7 x 10⁵ N/m
acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
height of the track = 25 m
length of spring compressed = ?
using conservation of energy
potential energy is converted into spring energy




x = 5.79 m
the spring is compressed to x = 5.79 m to stop the car.
When the velocity of an object changes, it is acted upon by a force
