<span> The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °C. At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be.....
a) higher, because the altitude is greater.
b) lower, because temperatures are lower.
c) the same, because water always boils at 100 °C.
d) higher, because there are fewer water molecules in the air.
==> e) lower, because the atmospheric pressure is lower.
--------------------------
Water boils at a lower temperature on top of a mountain because there is less air pressure on the molecules.

I hope this is helpful. </span>

What should be the spring constant k of a spring designed to bring a 1200 kg car to rest from a speed of 85 km/h so that the occ

Answer:

k = 5178.8 N/m

Explanation:

As we know that spring mass system will oscillate at angular frequency given as

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

now we have

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{1200}}$

now the maximum acceleration of the spring block system is at its maximum compression state which is given as

$a = \omega^2 A$

here A= maximum compression of the spring

so here in order to find maximum compression of the spring we will use energy conservation as we know that initial total kinetic energy of the car will convert into spring potential energy

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}kA^2$
