Answer:
271.862 N/m
Explanation:
From Hook's Law,
mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1
Where
m = mass of the ball, g = acceleration due to gravity, k = spring constant, e = extension, h = height fro which the ball was dropped.
Making k the subject of the equation,
k =2mgh/k²....................... Equation 2
Note: The potential energy of the ball is equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring.
Given: m = 60.3 g = 0.0603 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², e = 4.68317 cm = 0.0468317 m, h = 53.7 cm = 0.537 m
Substitute into equation 2
k = 2(0.0603)(9.8)(0.537)/0.048317²
k = 0.6346696/0.0023345
k = 271.862 N/m
Answer:
The car starts moving in the positive direction at x = 0.2 seconds. Initially it moves very little, but it covers a greater distance with each time increment.
Explanation:
Work is (force) times (distance). For Amy, you know both of them, and you can easily multiply them to find the amount of work. For Joe, the distance is zero, which should tell you all you need to know.
