Hooke's Law

F = k. Δx

Δx = 30 cm = 0.3 m

200 = k . 0.3

$\tt k =\dfrac{200}{0.3}= 666.6$

the spring stretch for 100 N:

$\tt \Delta x=\dfrac{100}{666.6}=0.15=15\:cm$

A(n) 55.5 g ball is dropped from a height of 53.6 cm above a spring of negligible mass. The ball compresses the spring to a maxi

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The spring force constant is $k=243\ \frac{N}{m}$ .

Explanation:

We are told the mass of the ball is $m=0.0555\ kg$ , the height above the spring where the ball is dropped is $h=0.536\ m$ , the length the ball compresses the spring is $d=0.04897\ m$ and the acceleration of gravity is $9.8\ \frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

We will consider the initial moment to be when the ball is dropped and the final moment to be when the ball stops, compressing the spring. We supose that there is no friction so the initial mechanical energy $E_{mi}$ is equal to the final mechanical energy $E_{mf}$ :

$E_{mf}=E_{mi}$

Initially there is only gravitational potential energy because the force of the spring isn't present and the speed is zero. In the final moment there is only elastic potential energy because the height is zero and the ball has stopped. So we have that:

$\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}=mgh$

If we manipulate the equation we have that:

$k=\frac{2mgh}{d^{2} }$

$k=\frac{2\ 0.0555\ kg\ 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}\ 0.536\ m}{(0.04897)^{2}m^{2}}$

$k=\frac{0.58306\ \frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}}{2.398x10^{-3}m^{2}}$

$k=243\ \frac{N}{m}$

You stand on top a building 44 m tall with a water balloon. You drop the water balloon from rest. How fast is the balloon moving

Alecsey [184]

<h2>The balloon is moving when it is halfway down the building at 20.78 m/s.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = 0.5 x 44 = 22 m

Substituting

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2 x 9.81 x 22

v² = 431.64

v = 20.78 m/s

Velocity at 22 m = 20.78 m/s

The balloon is moving when it is halfway down the building at 20.78 m/s.
