Physics
1 answer:
rusak2 [61]2 years ago

Answer:

Spring constant in N / m = 6,000

Explanation:

Given:

Length of spring stretches = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Force = 300 N

Find:

Spring constant in N / m

Computation:

Spring constant in N / m = Force/Distance

Spring constant in N / m = 300 / 0.05

Spring constant in N / m = 6,000

8.) If a car moving at 50km/h skids 15m with locked brakes, how far does the same car moving at 100km/h
pantera1 [17]

(8) A car starting with a speed <em>v</em> skids to a stop over a distance <em>d</em>, which means the brakes apply an acceleration <em>a</em> such that

0² - <em>v</em>² = 2 <em>a</em> <em>d</em> → <em>a</em> = - <em>v</em>² / (2<em>d</em>)

Then the car comes to rest over a distance of

<em>d</em> = - <em>v</em>² / (2<em>a</em>)

Doubling the starting speed gives

- (2<em>v</em>)² / (2<em>a</em>) = - 4<em>v</em>² / (2<em>a</em>) = 4<em>d</em>

so the distance traveled is quadrupled, and it would move a distance of 4 • 15 m = 60 m.

Alternatively, you can explicitly solve for the acceleration, then for the distance:

A car starting at 50 km/h ≈ 13.9 m/s skids to a stop in 15 m, so locked brakes apply an acceleration <em>a</em> such that

0² - (13.9 m/s)² = 2 <em>a</em> (15 m) → <em>a</em> ≈ -6.43 m/s²

So the same car starting at 100 km/h ≈ 27.8 m/s skids to stop over a distance <em>d</em> such that

0² - (27.8 m/s)² = 2 (-6.43 m/s²) <em>d</em> → <em>d</em> ≈ 60 m

(9) Pushing the lever down 1.2 m with a force of 50 N amounts to doing (1.2 m) (50 N) = 60 J of work. So the load on the other end receives 60 J of potential energy. If the acceleration due to gravity is taken to be approximately 10 m/s², then the load has a mass <em>m</em> such that

60 J = <em>m g h</em>

where <em>g</em> = 10 m/s² and <em>h</em> is the height it is lifted, 1.2 m. Solving for <em>m</em> gives

<em>m</em> = (60 J) / ((10 m/s²) (1.2 m)) = 5 kg

(10) Is this also multiple choice? I'm not completely sure, but something about the weight of the tractor seems excessive. It would help to see what the options might be.

What is an elastic collision?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A collision in which both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

In classical physics, we have two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: elastic collision is a collision in which both the total momentum of the objects involved and the total kinetic energy of the objects involved are conserved

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the objects involved is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In this type of collisions, part of the total kinetic energy is converted into heat or other forms of energy due to the presence of frictional forces. When the objects stick together after the collision, the collisions is called 'perfectly inelastic collision'
