Let's call this "certain amount" with a variable, x, (since it's not specified in the question, I will assume that the answer shall just be based on this variable).
So every additional floor will make the building sink by x, and let's make the unit cm, so x cm.
Now we know that the maximum depression is 20 cm, and it is also
x*y, where y is the number of floors.
So we have x*y=20,
therefore the number of floors is:
20/x or This is the answer
Answer:
X=m*g/K
Explanation:
Since the elastic force of the spring is balancing the force of gravity:
Fe = m*g
Now, on the spring by Hook's law, the magnitude of the elastic force will be:
Fe = K*X where K is the elastic constant of the spring and X is the distance the spring is strectches measured from its original lenght to its current length.
Replacing this value:
K*X = m*g Solving for X:
X = m*g/K This value is directly proportional to the object's weight and inversely proportional to the spring's constant.
98.4% of the power turns into heat.
If the bulb consumes 55 watts,
then it "wastes"
(0.984) x (55w) = 54.12 watts
a = ( v(2) - v(1) ) ÷ ( t(2) - t(1) )
2 = ( v(2) - 10 ) ÷ ( 6 - 0 )
2 × 6 = v(2) - 10
v(2) = 12 + 10
v(2) = 22 m/s
