Answer:

It happens due to force of friction

Explanation:

If a body is performing a uniform motion and no external unbalanced force appears to apply on it, then the body will come to rest after certain time. The reason behind this is the force of friction that is applied in opposite direction of the motion. So, when there is no apparent unbalanced force it means that the only force acting on the body is the force of friction. This force of friction tends to stop the motion after some period of time, because it is acting in the direction opposite to that of motion.

Hence, the reason behind a body undergoing uniform motion eventually stops is <u>Force of Friction.</u>

A spring with spring constant of 26 N/m is stretched 0.22 m from its equilibrium position. How much work must be done to stretch

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1.503 J

Explanation:

Work done in stretching a spring = 1/2ke²

W = 1/2ke²........................... Equation 1

Where W = work done, k = spring constant, e = extension.

Given: k = 26 N/m, e = (0.22+0.12), = 0.34 m.

Substitute into equation 1

W = 1/2(26)(0.34²)

W = 13(0.1156)

W = 1.503 J.

Hence the work done to stretch it an additional 0.12 m = 1.503 J

Hi there!

The maximum deformation of the bumper will occur when the car is temporarily at rest after the collision. We can use the work-energy theorem to solve.

Initially, we only have kinetic energy:

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
