kogti [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Hooke's Law is linear; mathematically, it looks like this:

F = -kΔx where k is the spring constant. Filling in and solving for k:

12 = -k(-2) so

k = 6N/m

The magnitude of the weight of a 3.0 kg object on the surface of the earth is 29 N. True False
madreJ [45]
True

In fact, the weight of an object on the surface of the Earth is given by:
F=mg
where m is the mass of the object and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface. If we use the mass of the object, m=3.0 kg, we find
F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=29 N

A 2100-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 5.00 m before coming into contact w
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

   f = 878,080 N

Explanation:

mass of pile driver (m) = 2100 kg

distance of pile driver to steel beam (s) = 5 m

depth of steel driven (d) = 12 cm = 0.12 m

acceleration due to gravity (g0 = 9.8 m/s^{2}

calculate the average force exerted on the pile driver by the beam.

  • from work done = force x distance
  • work done = change in potential energy of the pile driver
  • equating the two equations above we have

               force x distance = m x g x (s - d)

              f x 0.12 = 2100 x 9.8 x (5- (-0.12))

              d = - 0.12 because the steel beam went down at we are taking its  

              initial position to be an origin point which is 0

              f = ( 2100 x 9.8 x (5- (-0.12)) ) ÷ 0.12

                   f = 878,080 N
