If a spring stores 20 j of energy when it's compressed by 0.4 m what is the spring constant of the spring

Physics
1 answer:
kipiarov [429]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

250 N/m

Explanation:

Spring's Potensial Energi

SE = ½ c ∆x²

c = spring's contants

20 = ½ . c . 0,4²

20 . 2 = 0,16c

c = 40/0,16 = 250 N/m

A bus is moving and has 500000 joules of kinetic energy. The brakes are applied and the bus stops. How much work is needed to st
Bad White [126]
For the work-energy theorem, the work needed to stop the bus is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:
W=K_f - K_i
where
W is the work
Kf is the final kinetic energy of the bus
Ki is the initial kinetic energy of the bus

Since the bus comes at rest, its final kinetic energy is zero: K_f = 0, so the work done by the brakes to stop the bus is
W=-K_i = -500000 J
And the work done is negative, because the force applied by the brake is in the opposite direction to that of the bus motion.

a stone is dropped from top of a tower of 50m high ,simltaneously another stone is thrown upward with a speed of 20m/s find the
aleksklad [387]
At the time that I'll call ' Q ', the height of the stone that was
dropped from the tower is

             H = 50 - (1/2 G Q²) ,

and the height of the stone that was tossed straight up
from the ground is

             H  =  20Q - (1/2 G Q²) .

The stones meet when them's heights are equal,
so that's the time when

                         <span>50 - (1/2 G Q²)  =  20Q - (1/2 G Q²) .

This is looking like it's going to be easy.

Add  </span><span>(1/2 G Q²)  to each side.
Then it says
                                             50  =  20Q

Divide each side by 20:          2.5  =  Q .

And there we are.  The stones pass each other

                                       2.5 seconds

after they are simultaneously launched.

An object is dropped from a platform 100 feet high. Ignoring wind resistance, what will its speed be when it reaches the ground?
ICE Princess25 [194]

<span>if we assume the origin is at the dropping point and the object is merely dropped and not thrown up or down then y0 = 0 and v0 = 0. The equation reduces to </span>

You walk with a velocity of 2 m/s north. You see a man approaching you, and from your frame of
solong [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the man from the frame of  reference of a stationary observer is, V₂ = 5 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Your velocity, V₁ = 2 m/

The velocity of the person, V₂ =?

The velocity of the person relative to you, V₂₁ = 3 m/s

According to the relative velocity of two

                                V₂₁ = V₂ -V₁

∴                               V₂ =  V₂₁ + V₁

On substitution

                                 V₂ = 3 + 2

                                      = 5 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the man from the frame of reference of a stationary observe is, V₂ = 5 m/s
