The work to stretch a spring from its rest position is
(1/2) (spring constant) (distance of the stretch)²
E = 1/2 k x² .
You said it takes 1700 joules to stretch the spring 3 meters from its rest position, so we can write
1700 joules = 1/2 k (3m)²
1 joule = 1 newton-meter
1700 N-m = 1/2 k (3m)²
Multiply each side by 2: 3400 N-m = k · 9m²
Divide each side by 9m² k = 3400 N-m / 9m²
= (377 and 7/9) newton per meter
velocity = traveled distance ÷ time of the traveled distance is seconds
velocity = 600 ÷ 60
velocity = 10 m/s
_________________________________
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × mass × ( velocity )^2
KE = 1/2 × 60 × ( 10 )^2
KE = 30 × 100
KE = 3000 j
13.6) When any boat displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats.
Answer: A
<u>Explanation:</u>
NOTES:
d = 650 meters
t = 10 seconds
**********************************
v = d/t
= 650 meters/10 seconds
= 65 meters/second
