Answer:

a

 k =  457333.3 N/m

b

x_a  =0.09\ m      

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The total mass of  three people is  M  = 2.00*10^{2} \ kg

     The mass of the car is  m_c  =  1.200 *10^{3} \ kg

     The compression of the car spring is  x = 3 \ cm  = 0.03 \ m

     

Generally the spring constant is mathematically represented as

          k =  \frac{F}{x}

Here F is the force exerted by the mass of three people and that of the car , this is mathematically represented as        

=>       F = (M +m_c) *g

=>       F = ([2.0*10^{2} ]+[ 1.200*10^{3}]) * 9.8

=>       F = 13720 \  N

So

        k =  \frac{13720}{0.03}

=>     k =  457333.3 N/m

Generally if the mass which the car is loaded with is  m  =  3.00*10^{2} \ kg

Then the force experienced by the spring is  

         =>       F_a = (m +m_c) *g

         =>       F_a = (3.00*10^{3} + 1.200 *10^{3}) * 9.8

         =>       F_a = 41160 \  N

Generally from the above formula the compression is  

       x_a  = \frac{F_a}{k}

=>    x_a  = \frac{41160}{457333.3}

=>    x_a  =0.09\ m

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The Alkali Metals

sodium is a member of the alkali metal family with potassium (K) and lithium (Li). Sodium's big claim to fame is that it's one of two elements in your table salt. When bonded to chlorine (Cl), the two elements make sodium chloride (NaCl).

How does a distance-time graph show you which direction the runner is moving? Use your own words and science vocabulary.
Dmitry [639]

In a distance time graph, when the x and y values are positive (in first quadrant), the runner is moving forward.

While, if the distance value ( in the y axis) is negative, the runner is moving backwards ( towards the start) .

Hope it helps :)

The total mass of the train and its passengers is 750000kg. The train is traveling at a speed of 84m/s. The driver applies the b
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

|F| = 393750  N

Explanation:

Given that,

Total mass of the train, m = 750000 kg

Initial speed, u = 84 m/s

Final speed, v = 42 m/s

Time, t = 80 s

We need to find the net force acting on the train. The formula for force is given by :

F = ma

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{750000\times (42-84)}{80}\\\\F=-393750\ N

So, the magnitude of net force is 393750  N.
