Answer is D. Hope it helps :)
If you use the equation F=ma and re-arrange it to get m = F/a, you'll get the total mass. Then you have to subtract the mass of the cart from the total mass to get the mass of the rock.
Thus, m = 6N over 2m/s^2. The total mass will then be 3kg. Subtracting 1kg from the total mass will then yield you 2kg, which is the mass of the rock. Hope this helps.
Answer:
The three laws of motion were first compiled by Isaac Newton in his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), first published in 1687. Newton used them to explain and investigate the motion of many physical objects and systems
Answer:
22.15 N/m
Explanation:
As we know potential energy = m*g*h
Potential energy of spring = (1/2)kx^2
m*g*h = (1/2)kx^2
Substituting the given values, we get -
(400)*(9.8)*(10) = (0.5)*(k)*(2.0^2)
k = 39200/2.645
k = 19600 N/m
For safety reasons, this spring constant is increased by 13 % So the new spring constant is
k = 19600 * 1.13 = 22148 N/m = 22.15 N/m
