Answer:
284.4233 N/m
Explanation:
k = Spring constant
x = Compression of spring = 14.5 cm
U = Potential energy = 2.99 J
The potential energy of a spring is given by

Rearranging to get the value of k

The spring constant is 284.4233 N/m
Answer:
15.88°C I am not 100% sure this is right but I am 98% sure this IS right
Answer: minimum speed of launch must be 7.45m/s
Explanation:
Given the following:
Height or distance (s) = 2.83m
The final velocity(Vf) at maximum height = 0
Upward motion, acceleration due to gravity(g) us negative = -9.8m/s^2
From the 3rd equation of motion:
V^2 = u^2 - 2gs
Where V = final velocity
u = initial velocity
Therefore, u = Vi
u = √Vf^2 - 2gs
u = √0^2 - 2(-9.8)(2.83)
u = √0 + 55.468
u = √55.468
u = 7.4476 m/s
u = 7.45m/s
We use the work formula to solve for the unknown in the problem. The formula for work is expressed as the product of the net force and the distance traveled by the object. We were given both the force and the distance so we can solve work directly.
Work = 250 N x 50 m = 12500 J
Thus, the answer is C.
