Robert Hooke stated that if an object is elongated by a distance x, then the restoring force F exerted by the object is proportional to x. This can be summarized in the equation F = -kx, where k is a constant. Which is this information known as: the theory of elasticity or the law of elasticity? The theory of elasticity, because theories are well-tested, widely accepted explanations that combine several hypotheses and observations.
The theory of elasticity, because theories are a possible explanation of or an answer to a scientific question based on prior knowledge or research.
The law of elasticity, because laws are statements about how something behaves or functions in the natural world.
The law of elasticity, because laws are developed on the basis of experimentation, but they are not explanations.

You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. car a weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. car b weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 44.0 mph. the cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 22.5 ft before stopping. you have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750 . how fast (in miles per hour) was car a traveling just before the collision? (this problem uses english units because they would be used in a u.s. legal proceeding.)

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. the first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. (a) calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.(b) what is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. final velocity(d) loss of kinetic energy = ?
