Does a spring scale measure weight or mass? Why?

A spring scale measures weight because <span>It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a </span>spring<span> is proportional to the distance that </span>spring<span> is extended from its rest position. Therefore, the </span>scale<span> markings on the </span>spring<span> balance are equally spaced. A </span>spring scale<span> can</span>not measure mass<span>, only </span>weight<span>. hope that helped</span>

(b) Suppose at a certain instant the kinetic energy is twice the elastic potential energy. Write an equation describing this sit
timurjin [86]

Answer:

1/2mv² = ke²

Explanation:

Let's suppose the material in question is a spring with spring constant k, mass m and position k, the kinetic energy possessed by the string will be;

K.E = 1/2mass×velocity² i.e 1/2mv²

Its elastic potential energy will be the work done on the spring when stretched which is equal to 1/2kx²

E.P = 1/2kx²

The equation describing the case where the kinetic energy is twice the elastic potential energy will be;

K.E = 2EP... 1)

Substituting the KE and EP formula into (1), we have;

1/2mv² = 2(1/2ke²)

1/2mv² = ke² which gives the required equation

How do we know the sun rotates?
Eduardwww [97]
Hi pupil Here's your answer ::::


➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡

The sun Doesnt rotates as we know all . But it rotates with the wjole our Milky Way Galaxy. This movement is so slow that we cant even recognise that we are shifted.

This we know because we all had studied about the solar system and space.

By this study we can say that Sun Rotates.

Why do streets and highways have speed limits rather than velocity limits?
andrew11 [14]

They actually DO have velocity limits. There are legal restrictions on both speed and direction.

-- Speeds are limited according to the black numbers on white signs that you see on sign-posts everywhere.

-- Directions are limited by the layout of the pavement and curbs on all the highways, avenues, roads, boulevards and streets, as well as the countless signs that say "One Way", "No Left Turn", "Keep Right", "Keep Left", etc. Violate one of these, and you get nailed as sure as if you had exceeded a posted speed limit.

The half-life of the radioactive isotope Carbon-14 is about 5730 years. Find N in terms of t. The amount of a radioactive elemen
Fudgin [204]

The complete queston is The amount of a radioactive element A at time t is given by the formula

A(t) = A₀e^kt

Answer:  A(t) =N e^( -1.2 X 10^-4t)

Explanation:

Given

Half life =  5730 years.

A(t) =A₀e ^kt

such that

A₀/ 2 =A₀e ^kt

Dividing both sides by A₀

1/2 = e ^kt

1/2 = e ^k(5730)

1/2 = e^5730K

In 1/2 =  5730K

k = 1n1/2 / 5730

k = 1n0.5 / 5730

K= -0.00012 = 1.2 X 10^-4

So that expressing   N in terms of t, we have

A(t) =A₀e ^kt

A₀ = N

A(t) =N e^ -1.2 X 10^-4t
