Damian’s car weighs 2000kg. The spring has a natural unstretched length of 2m and a spring constant of k = 80000N/m. Hooke's law can be written as T = kd. Where T is the tension force in newtons, k is the spring constant and d is the length in metres. Let x(t) be the position of the front of Damian’s car and let y(t) be the position of the back of Eva’s 4WD. We will assume that the position of Eva’s car is a known function of time. Q1 a) Create a sketch of the positions of the vehicles similar to the one given and add the positions x and y. b) What is the extension of the spring in terms of x(t) and y(t)? Be careful to take into account that the unstretched length of the spring is 2m.

Question
Damian’s car weighs 2000kg. The spring has a natural unstretched length of 2m and a spring constant of k = 80000N/m. Hooke's law can be written as T = kd. Where T is the tension force in newtons, k is the spring constant and d is the length in metres.
Let x(t) be the position of the front of Damian’s car and let y(t) be the position of the back of Eva’s 4WD. We will assume that the position of Eva’s car is a known function of time.
Q1
a) Create a sketch of the positions of the vehicles similar to the one given and add the positions x and y.
b) What is the extension of the spring in terms of x(t) and y(t)? Be careful to take into account that the unstretched length of the spring is 2m.
