<h3>Initial considerations</h3>

Applied force = 50N
Distance to equilibrium position = 0.09m
Spring constant = ?

<h3>Resolution</h3>

using hooke's relation

F = K . d

50N = k . 0.09m

k = 50N / 0.09m

k = 5555.56 N/m

Calculating the potential energy of the spring

Ep = 1/2 k . x²

Ep = 1/2 (5555.56 N/m) (0.09m)²

Ep = 22.5 Joules

<h3>Answer</h3>

the spring constant? =

k = 5555.56 N/m

potential energy of the spring?

Ep = 22.5 Joules

Is a football tackle an elastic or inelastic collision and why?

QveST [7]

If the kinetic energy of an object changes, then the collision is considered inelastic. This is regardless of whether the objects sticks together or not.

My best answer for this question would be D) inelastic, because kinetic energy is not conserved.

We can tell from the collision that it is not elastic.

Momentum is is conserved, it transfers to the other player.

Kinetic energy is not conserved, at it turns into internal friction.

I hope this helps! :)

a sprinter with a mass of 80kg accelerates uniformly from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 s. a.)what is the runners acceleration? b.) what i

Katyanochek1 [597]

Part A:
Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the difference of the initial and final velocities by the given time. That is,
a = (Vf - Vi) / t
where a is acceleration,
Vf is final velocity,
Vi is initial velocity, and
t is time

Substituting,
a = (9 m/s - 0 m/s) / 3 s = 3 m/s²
ANSWER: 3 m/s²

Part B:
From Newton's second law of motion, the net force is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration,
F = m x a
where F is force,
m is mass, and
a is acceleration

Substituting,
F = (80 kg) x (3 m/s²) = 240 kg m/s² = 240 N

ANSWER: 240 N 

Part C:
The distance that the sprinter travel is calculated through the equation,
d = V₀t + 0.5at²

Substituting,
d = (0 m/s)(3 s) + 0.5(3 m/s²)(3 s)²
d = 13.5 m

ANSWER: d = 13.5 m

The drawing shows a tire of radius R on a moving car

masha68 [24]

Answer:

H / R = 2/3

Explanation:

Let's work this problem with the concepts of energy conservation. Let's start with point P, which we work as a particle.

Initial. Lowest point

Em₀ = K = 1/2 m v²

Final. In the sought height

$Em_{f}$ = U = mg h

Energy is conserved

Em₀ = $Em_{f}$

½ m v² = m g h

v² = 2 gh

Now let's work with the tire that is a cylinder with the axis of rotation in its center of mass

Initial. Lower

Em₀ = K = ½ I w²

Final. Heights sought

Emf = U = m g R

Em₀ = $Em_{f}$

½ I w² = m g R

The moment of inertial of a cylinder is

I = $I_{cm}$ + ½ m R²

I= ½ $I_{cm}$ + ½ m R²

Linear and rotational speed are related

v = w / R

w = v / R

We replace

½ $I_{cm}$ w² + ½ m R² w² = m g R

moment of inertia of the center of mass

$I_{cm}$ = ½ m R²

½ ½ m R² (v²/R²) + ½ m v² = m gR

m v² ( ¼ + ½ ) = m g R

v² = 4/3 g R

As they indicate that the linear velocity of the two points is equal, we equate the two equations

2 g H = 4/3 g R

H / R = 2/3
