Answer : The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block.
Explanation :
Restoring force is defined as the force that is exerted by the spring due to its mass.
Mathematically, the restoring force can be written as :
F = - k x
where,
k is the spring constant.
x is the displacement caused due to the mass.
Negative sign shows that the force is acting in opposite direction.
So, it is clear that the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block.
Hence, the correct option is (b) " The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block ".
Refer to the diagram shown below.
Neglect wind resistance, and use g = 9.8 m/s².
The pole vaulter falls with an initial vertical velocity of u = 0.
If the velocity upon hitting the pad is v, then
v² = 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(4.2 m) = 82.32 (m/s)²
v = 9.037 m/s
The pole vaulter comes to res after the pad compresses by 50 cm (or 0.5 m).
If the average acceleration (actually deceleration) is (a m/s²), then
0 = (9.037 m/s)² + 2*(a m/s²)*(0.5 m)
a = - 82.32/(2*0.5) = - 82 m/s²
Answer: - 82 m/s² (or a deceleration of 82 m/s²)
