Answer: Approximately 22 cm

=========================================================

Explanation:

The unstretched spring is 12.0 cm long. When adding a load of 5.0 N, it stretches to 15.0 cm. This is a displacement of 15.0 - 12.0 = 3.0 cm, which is the amount the spring is stretched.

Convert this displacement to meters (so that it fits with the meters unit buried in Newtons).

3.0 cm = (3.0)/100 = 0.03 m

Apply Hooke's Law to find the spring constant k

F = -kx

5.0 = -k*(0.03)

k = -(5.0)/(0.03)

k = -166.667 approximately

Now we must find the displacement x when F = 15 newtons

F = -kx

-kx = F

x = F/(-k)

x = -F/k

x = -15/(-166.667)

x = 0.089 approximately

x = 0.1

The displacement to one decimal place is about 0.1 meters, which converts to 100*0.1 = 10 cm

So the spring will be stretched to about 12cm+10cm = 22 cm

A dog has a mass of 20 kg. If the dog is pushed across the ice with a force of 40 N, what is its acceleration?

olasank [31]

Answer:

The acceleration is 2 m/s2.

Explanation:

We calculate the acceleration (a), with the data of mass (m) and force (F), through the formula:

F = m x a ---> a= F/m

a = 40 N/20 kg 1N= 1 kg x m/s2

a= 40 kgx m/s2/ 20 kg

a= 2 m/s2

A toy rocket, launched from the ground, rises vertically with an acceleration of 28 m/s 2 for 9.7 s until its motor stops. Disre

Answer:

5080.86m

Explanation:

We will divide the problem in parts 1 and 2, and write the equation of accelerated motion with those numbers, taking the upwards direction as positive. For the first part, we have:

$y_1=y_{01}+v_{01}t+\frac{a_1t^2}{2}$

$v_1=v_{01}+a_1t$

We must consider that it's launched from the ground ( $y_{01}=0m$ ) and from rest ( $v_{01}=0m/s$ ), with an upwards acceleration $a_{1}=28m/s^2$ that lasts a time t=9.7s.

We calculate then the height achieved in part 1:

$y_1=(0m)+(0m/s)t+\frac{(28m/s^2)(9.7s)^2}{2}=1317.26m$

And the velocity achieved in part 1:

$v_1=(0m/s)+(28m/s^2)(9.7s)=271.6m/s$

We do the same for part 2, but now we must consider that the initial height is the one achieved in part 1 ( $y_{02}=1317.26m$ ) and its initial velocity is the one achieved in part 1 ( $v_{02}=271.6m/s$ ), now in free fall, which means with a downwards acceleration $a_{2}=-9,8m/s^2$ . For the data we have it's faster to use the formula $v_f^2=v_0^2+2ad$ , where d will be the displacement, or difference between maximum height and starting height of part 2, and the final velocity at maximum height we know must be 0m/s, so we have:
