Answer:

1.876 J

Explanation:

First, let’s calculate the compression of the spring from the Hooke’s law:

F=kx,

here, F=75 N is the force acted on the spring, k=1500 N⁄m is the force constant of the spring, x is the compression of the spring.

Then, we get:

x=F/k=(75 N)/(1500 N/m)=0.05 m.

Finally, we can find the potential energy stored in the spring:

PE=1/2 kx^2=1/2∙1500 N/m∙(0.05 m)^2=1.875 J.

correct my answer if it's wrong ^^

A car and a train move together along straight, parallel paths with the same constant cruising speed v(initial). At t=0 the car

kogti [31]

Answer:

$t_1 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

$t_2 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

Δd = $v_it_1 = v_i^2/a_i$

Explanation:

As $v(t) = v_i + at$ , when the car is making full stop, $v(t_1) = 0$ . $a = -a_i$ . Therefore,

$0 = v_i - a_it_1\\v_i = a_it_1\\t_1 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

Apply the same formula above, with $v(t_2) = v_i$ and $a = a_i$ , and the car is starting from 0 speed, we have

$v_i = 0 + a_it_2\\t_2 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

As $s(t) = vt + \frac{at^2}{2}$ . After $t = t_1 + t_2$ , the car would have traveled a distance of

$s(t) = s(t_1) + s(t_2)\\s(t_1) = (v_it_1 - \frac{a_it_1^2}{2})\\ s(t_2) = \frac{a_it_2^2}{2}$

Hence $s(t) = (v_it_1 - \frac{a_it_1^2}{2}) + \frac{a_it_2^2}{2}$

As $t_1 = t_2$ we can simplify $s(t) = v_it_1$

After t time, the train would have traveled a distance of $s(t) = v_i(t_1 + t_2) = 2v_it_1$

Therefore, Δd would be $2v_it_1 - v_it_1 = v_it_1 = v_i^2/a_i$

You are walking in Paris alongside the Eiffel Tower and suddenly a croissant falls on your head and knocks you to the ground. If

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

7,79 seconds

Explanation:

${\overline {a}}={\frac {\Delta v}{t}}$

You need to use the acceleration formula. A is acceliration, $\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}$ is change in velocity and t is time.

You need to multiply the formula with t and divide by a and you get

a*t= $\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}$

t= $\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}$ /a

after that you just need to insert the numbers

change in velocity is 76.4 minus 0.

acceliration is gravitational acceleration which is 9.81.

After that you get

t=76.4/9.81

t= 7,787971458 s
