Answer:

Explanation:

mg = kx

k = mg/x

k = 0.40(9.8)/0.030

k = 130.66666...

k ≈ 130 N/m

If a ball is thrown into the air with a velocity of 36 ft/s, its height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y = 36t − 16t2. fi

Juliette [100K]

Height (y) = 36t - 16t^2, where t = time in seconds (s).
Our height (y) after 1s = 36(1) - 16(1)^2
y = 36 - 16 = 20 ft
So it reached a height of 20 ft during that 1 second, which means that at that 1 second it had a velocity of 20ft/s, since v = d(distance)/t = 20ft/1s

The distance between two stations is 180 km. A train takes 2 hours to cover this distance. The speed of the train in m/sec is...

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Av = 25 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of speed, which is defined as the relationship between distance over time. for this case we have.

$Av=\frac{distance}{time}$

where:

Av = speed [km/h] or [m/s]

distance = 180 [km]

time = 2 [hr]

Therefore the speed is equal to:

$Av = \frac{180}{2} \\Av = 90 [km/h]$

Now we must convert from kilometers per hour to meters per second

$90[\frac{km}{h}]*1000[\frac{m}{1km}]*1[\frac{h}{3600s} ]= 25 [m/s]$

6. One minute after takeoff, a rocket carrying the space shuttle into outer space reaches a speed of 447 m/s.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

acceleration of the rocket is given as

$a = 7.45 m/s^2$

Explanation:

As we know that rocket starts from rest and then reach to final speed of 447 m/s after t = 1 min

so we have

$v_i = 0$

$v_f = 447 m/s$

$t = 1 min = 60 s$

so we have

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a = \frac{447 - 0}{60}$

$a = 7.45 m/s^2$

Consider a 2 m wide and 5 m long slab resting on flat, fixed, earthen bed. The slab is 20 cm thick with uniform properties. You

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The coordinate sketch for the system is shown in the attached file below. Also, in the cartesian coordinate system, since the height is less than the length and width, we did neglect the height. Thus, we eliminate the height and converted it to a two-dimension.
