<h2>Spring constant is 14.72 N/m</h2>

Explanation:

We have for a spring

            Force =  Spring constant x Elongation

            F = kx

Here force is weight of mass

           F = W = mg = 0.54 x 9.81 = 5.3 N

Elongation, x  = 36 cm = 0.36 m

Substituting

           F = kx

           5.3 = k x 0.36

             k = 14.72 N/m

Spring constant is 14.72 N/m

A pebble is thrown into a calm lake, ripples are formed from the center and move outward. The water particles in the lake travel
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: The option (C) is correct. The energy travels horizontally.

Explanation: When the pebble is thrown into a calm lake, there will be disturbance in the lake. The ripples are formed from the center and move outward because the energy is carried out from particle to particle.

The distribution of the energy among the particles starts from center and it will carry out outward. This disturbance will occur horizontally.

Therefore, the energy travels horizontally.

You are driving 12 meters per second. What is your speed in miles per hour? (1.6km=1 mike) EXPLAIN
Blizzard [7]

1.6km = 1 mike? Wow that guy is tall.

I think you meant 1.6 km = 1 mile? Okay then if we're going 12 meters per second how much would you travel in one hour? First we need to figure out how many seconds are in an hour.  There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour so:

60×60=3600 seconds in an hour

Now we will multiply that by 12 meters per second and we get:

12\frac{m}{s} \times 3600 s=43200m

And 43200 meters is 43.2 km (1000 meters in 1 kilometer) meaning 43.2 kilometers an hour.  Since there are 1.6 km in one mile we must divide 43.2km to 1.6.

\frac{43.2}{1.6}=27mph

And so your speed is 27 miles per hour.

aliina [53]

Answer:

It is less than 25m/s as the correct average is 24m/s.

Explanation:

This is becuase you need to take the average of the two speeds (18m/s and 30m/s) 18 + 30 divided by 2 is 24m/s.
