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.

during convection, hot material _____ (expands &amp; sinks, cools &amp; rises, expands &amp; rises, deflates &amp; rises) then m
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

During convection, hot material expands & rises then moves to the side and cools & sinks. this circular pattern is called a convection current.

Explanation:

Convection is one of the three methods of transfer of heat. It occurs only in fluids (liquids or gases).

Convection occurs when there is a source of heat that heats a fluid, such as in a boiling pot of water. The water which is on the bottom of the pot becomes warmer before than the water at the top (because it is closer to the flame), and so it becomes less dense: for this reason, it expands and it becomes rising. On the contrary, the water on top is colder, so it is more dense and starts sinking, replacing the warmer water. As the new part of water gets warmer, it starts rising, and so the process is continuously repeated. This circular current is called convection current.

PLEASE HELP!! At what temperature will silver have a resistivity that is four times the resistivity of tungsten at room temperat
Svetach [21]
Consider 20 deg.C. as room temperature.

From tables,
Silver has a resistivity of  1.6*10^-8 ohm-m at 20 deg.C, and it increases by 0.0038 ohm-m per deg.K increase.
Therefore if the temperature rise above 20 deg.C is T, then silver will have resistivity of
1.6*10^-8(1 + 0.0038T) ohm-m

At room temperature, the resistivity of tungsten (from tables) is 5.6*10^-8.

The resistivity of silver will be 4 times that of tungsten (at room temperature) when
1.6*10^-8(1 + 0.0038T) = 4*5.6*10^-8
1 + 0.0038T = 14
T = 13/.0038 = 3421 deg.K approx

Answer: 20 + 3421 = 3441 °C

A 1.50 3 103 - kg car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 18.0 m/s in 12.0 s. Assume that air resistance remains const
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

let force exerted by engine be F.Net force =( F-400)N, applying newton law

     F-400 = 1.5 x 10³x18 =27000 ,

F = 27400 N.

velocity after 12 s  = 0 + 18 x 12 = 216 m/s

Average velocity = (0 + 216 )/2 = 108 m/s

Average power = force x average velocity = 27400 x 108 = 29.6 10⁵ W .⁶

b) At 12 s , velocity = 216 m/s

Instantaneous power = velocity x force = 216 x 27400 = 59.2 x 10⁶ W.
