The stiffness constant of the spring is 68,290.3 N/m

<h3> Stiffness constant of the spring</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

U = K.E

¹/₂kx² = ¹/₂mv²

kx² = mv²

k = mv²/x²

where;

  • m is mass
  • v is speed = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s
  • x is the distance

k = (1300 x 16.67²)/(2.3²)

k = 68,290.3 N/m

Thus, the stiffness constant of the spring is 68,290.3 N/m.

What are the condition required for reverberation?​
Luda [366]

Answer:

Reverberation is created when a sound produced in a sapce is reflected off surfaces, like walls, teh floor or the ceiling. ... The time it takes for this sound in the space to decrease in volume down to 60 decibels (practically silence) after the sound source is extinguished is its reverberation time.

If Paula travels 3 km south and turns and goes 4 km east, what is the total displacement? What is the total distance? Please Exp

Paula has gone 1 km east as the total displacement. The total distance would be 7 km. Why? Well, the difference between displacement and distance is displacement is directional which is why it’s included in velocity and not speed. However, distance is more broad and not as specific.

Can someone please help
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Acceleration of that planet is 30 \frac{m}{s^{2} }.

Given:

initial speed of hammer = 0 \frac{m}{s}

time = 1 s

distance = 15 m

To find:

Acceleration due to gravity = ?

Formula used:

Distance covered by hammer is given by,

s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^{2}

s = distance

u = initial speed of hammer

t = time taken by hammer to reach ground

a = acceleration

Solution:

Distance covered by hammer is given by,

s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^{2}

s = distance

u = initial speed of hammer

t = time taken by hammer to reach ground

a = acceleration

u = 0

t = 1 s

s = 15 m

a = g

Thus substituting these value in above equation.

15 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} g 1^{2}

g = 15 × 2

g = 30 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Thus, acceleration of that planet is 30 \frac{m}{s^{2} }.

Most reactive non-metals in order?
kompoz [17]
Nonmetals often share or gain electrons. The nonmetals in the periodic table increases as you move to the right and decreases as you go down. This is because, the smaller the atom, the reactive it gets due to less electron attached to the orbits of the atom. The reactivity of nonmetals is arranged in decreasing order.   <span>
