Answer:
Explanation:
Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time it took to produce such change. The formula then reads:
Where Vf is the final velocity of the object, (in our case 80 m/s)
Vi is the initial velocity of the object (in our case 0 m/s because the object was at rest)
and t is the time it took to change from the Vi to the Vf (in our case 0.05 seconds.
Therefore we have:
Notice that the units of acceleration in the SI system are (meters divided square seconds)
Initially, the spring stretches by 3 cm under a force of 15 N. From these data, we can find the value of the spring constant, given by Hook's law:
where F is the force applied, and
is the stretch of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position. Using the data, we find
Now a force of 30 N is applied to the same spring, with constant k=5.0 N/cm. Using again Hook's law, we can find the new stretch of the spring:
where F is the force applied, and
Now a force of 30 N is applied to the same spring, with constant k=5.0 N/cm. Using again Hook's law, we can find the new stretch of the spring:
