Answer:
e = 0.0898m
v = 2.07m/s
Explanation:
a) According to Hooke's law
F = ke
e is the extension
k is the spring constant
Since F = mg
mg = ke
e = mg/k
Substitute the given value
e = 1.1(9.8)/120
e = 10.78/120
e = 0.0898m
Hence it is stretched by 0.0898m from its unstrained length
2) Total Energy = PE+KE+Elastic potential
Total Energy = mgh +1/2mv²+1/2ke²
Substitute the given value
5.0= 1.1(9.8)(0.2)+1/2(1.1)v²+1/2(120)(0.0898)²
Solve for v
5.0 = 2.156+0.55v²+0.48338
5.0-2.156-0.48338= 0.55v²
2.36 =0.55v²
v² = 2.36/0.55
v² = 4.29
v ,= √4.29
v = 2.07m/s
Hence the required velocity is 9.28m/s
Let u = the speed of the car at the instant when braking begins.
The braking distance is s = 62.3 m, the acceleration is a = -5.9 m/s², and the braking duration is t = 4.15 s.
Use the formula s = ut + (1/2)at² to obtain
(u m/s)*(4.15 s) + 0.5*(-5.9 m/s²)*(4.5 s)² = (62.3 m)
4.15u = 62.3 + 50.8064 = 113.1064
u = 27.2546 m/s
Let v m/s be the speed with which the car strikes the tree.
Then
v = 27.2546 - 5.9*4.15
= 2.7696 m/s
Answer: 2.77 m/s (nearest hundredth)
There is no "why", because that's not what happens. The truth is
exactly the opposite.
Whatever the weight of a solid object is in air, that weight will appear
to be LESS when the object is immersed in water.
The object is lifted by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
It displaces the same amount of air or water, and any amount of water
weighs more than the same amount of air. So the force that lifts the
object in water is greater than the force that lifts it in air, and the object
appears to weigh less in the water.
Your answer is 8. You add 2 + 1 + 5.3 to get 8.3. You round down to 8 because of the sig fig rules.
