Answer:
0.51 m
Explanation:
Using the principle of conservation of energy, change in potential energy equals to the change in kinetic energy of the spring.
Kinetic energy, KE=½kx²
Where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring
Potential energy, PE=mgh
Where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height and m is mass
Equating KE=PE
mgh=½kx²
Making x the subject of formula
Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1300 kg for m, 10m for h and 1000000 for k then
Answer:
The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at
29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m
Explanation:
We know by equation of motion that,
Where, v= final velocity m/sec
u=initial velocity m/sec
a=Acceleration m/
s= Distance traveled before stop m
Case 1
u= 13 m/sec, v=0, s= 57.46 m, a=?
a = -1.47 m/ (a is negative since final velocity is less then initial velocity)
Case 2
u=29 m/sec, v=0, s= ?, a=-1.47 m/ (since same friction force is applied)
s = 285.94 m
Hence the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at
29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m
