An ideal spring with spring constant k is hung from the ceiling. The initial length of the spring, with nothing attached to the

free end, is 15.0 cm. When an object of mass m is attached to the free end of the spring, the spring stretches to a final length of 30.0 cm. If k = 3.5 N/cm, what is the mass m of the object?

The mass m of the object = 5.25 kg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

k = spring constant = 3.5 N/cm

Δx= 30 cm - 15 cm = 15 cm

Required

the mass m

Solution

F=m.g

Hooke's Law

F = k.Δx

\tt m.g=k.\Delta x\\\\m.10=3.5\times 15\\\\m=5.25~kg

Simon is riding a bike at 12 km/h away from his friend Keesha.He throws a ball at 5 km/h back to Keesha, who is standing still o
Tems11 [23]

I notice that even though we're working with frames of reference
here, you never said which frame the '5 km/hr' is measured in.

In fact !  You didn't even say which frame the '12 km/hr' of his
bike is measured in.

So there are several different ways this could go.  I'll do it the way
I THINK you meant it, but that doesn't guarantee anything.

-- Simon is riding his bike at 12 km/hr relative to the sidewalk,
away from Keesha.

-- He throws a ball at Keesha, at 5 km/hr relative to his own face.

-- Keesha sees the ball approaching her at (12 - 5) = 7 km/hr
relative to the ground and to her.

An engine is used to lift a beam weighing 9,800 N up to 145 m. How much work must the engine do to lift this beam? How much work
Arturiano [62]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the engine used to lift a beam, W = 9800 N

Distance, d = 145 m

Work done by the engine to lift the beam is given by :

W = F d

W=9800\ N\times 145\ m\\\\W=1421000\ J\\\\W=1421\ kJ

Let W' is the work must be done to lift it 290 m. It is given by :

W'=9800\ N\times 290\ m\\\\W'=2842000\ J\\\\W'=2842\ kJ

Hence, this is the required solution.
