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>

A swimmer swims 3/5 the width of a river at one velocity, then swims the remainder of the river at half her initial velocity. Wh
SashulF [63]
Let her initial velocity be U.

Let the width of the river be W.

She swims 3/5 the width of the river  at  U.

Remainder width =  (1 - 3/5) = 2/5.

She then swims 2/5 the width with velocity  U/2.


Average Speed  =  (Total Distance Traveled)  /  ( Total Time Taken).


Distance =  Speed * time

time  =  Distance /  Speed.

Time in first trip:    =    (3/5)W / U =   0.6W/U.

Time in second trip  =  (2/5)W / (U/2)  =  0.4W / 0.5 U =  0.8W/U

Total Distance Traveled =  W,  width of the river.

Average Speed  =      W  /  (0.6W/U  +  0.8W/U) =    W /  (1.4W/U)

                             =  W  *  U / 1.4W 
                              =    U/1.4
                              =  U * 10 / 14
                              =  (5/7) U.

Therefore Average speed is  (5/7) of the initial speed.

The velocity of a car changes from 50 m/s north to 40 m/s north in 2 seconds. What is the car’s acceleration?
Zigmanuir [339]
Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the change in time. Since the velocity changed from 50 m/s to 40 m/s (-10 m/s change) in 2 seconds, then the acceleration is (-10/2) = -5 m/s^2 northward. Hope this helps!
