Answer:

0.281  m

Explanation:

Applying,

W = 0.5ke².................. Equation 1

Where W = Workdone by the stretched spring, k = spring constant, e = extension/ compression of the spring

make e the subject of the equation

e = √(2W/k)................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: W = 1.240J, k = 31.50 N/m

Substitute these values into equation 2

e = √(2×1.240/31.50)

e = √(0.07873)

e = 0.281  m

A child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0 seconds. What is the velocity ofthe ball the instant befo
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: The velocity of the ball is 30.0 m/s

This can be calculated by using the value of acceleration as 10.0 m/s2 in free fall and the given time of 3.0 seconds. To get the velocity, one will have to multiply the acceleration with the given time and the quotient would result to 30.0 m/s. Mostly all object regardless of their mass, fall to earth with the same acceleration in the absence of air resistance and as the child drops the ball from a window, it gains speed as it falls.

A truck initially traveling at a speed of 22 meters per second increases speed at a constant rate of 2.4 meters per second^2 for
Usimov [2.4K]
Thank you for posting your question here. The total distance traveled by the truck during the 3.2 seconds interval is 83 m. Below is the solution:

d = vit + 1/2 at^2
d = (22m/ s) (3.2s) + 1/2 (2.4m/ s^2) (3.2s)^2
d = 83 m 
Hope the answer helps.

Which of the following best describes an action-reaction pair? A. The Moon Pulls on Earth, and Earth pulls back on the moon. B.
Papessa [141]
An action-reaction pair would be a pair in which one of the elements exerts a force on the other element (action), and then the other element would respond to this force by exerting another force in the opposite direction (reaction).

From the given choices, we will see that:
For choice A, the moon exerts a force on the earth by pulling it (action) and the earth responds to this force by pulling the moon (reaction in opposite direction of the action).

Therefore, the correct choice would be: 
A. <span>The Moon Pulls on Earth, and Earth pulls back on the moon.</span>

A railroad car having a mass of 15 Mg is coasting at 1.5 m/s on a horizontal track. At the same time another car having a mass o
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum to know velocity after collision . Let it be v .

total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

15 x 1.5 - 12 x .75 = ( 15 + 12 ) v

v = .5 m /s

kinetic energy before collision

1/2 x 15 x 1.5² + 1/2 x 12 x .75²

= 16.875 + 3.375

= 20.25 J

kinetic energy after collision

= 1/2 x ( 15 + 12 ) x .5²

= 3.375 J

Loss of energy = 16.875 J

This energy appear as heat and sound energy that is produced during collision .
