You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car. The car goes up a 13-m-hi

gh hill, then descends 20 m to the track's lowest point. You've determined that the spring can be compressed a maximum of 2.4 m and that a loaded car will have a maximum mass of 430 kg. For safety reasons, the spring constant should be 13 % larger than the minimum needed for the car to just make it over the top. Part A What spring constant should you specify

Answer:

22.15 N/m

Explanation:

As we know potential energy = m*g*h

Potential energy of spring = (1/2)kx^2

m*g*h = (1/2)kx^2

Substituting the given values, we get -  

(400)*(9.8)*(10) = (0.5)*(k)*(2.0^2)

k = 39200/2.645

k = 19600 N/m

For safety reasons, this spring constant is increased by 13 % So the new spring constant is  

 k = 19600 * 1.13 = 22148 N/m = 22.15 N/m

How would the attractive force between two spheres change if the mass of one sphere was doubled?
Dominik [7]
The force of attraction between two objects can be illustrated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
The relation between the different parameters is shown in the attached image.

Now, from the relation, we can deduce that the force between the two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.

This means that, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force between the two objects will also be doubled.
