Answer:

B. the force of the spring pulling on you

Explanation:

The independent variable is the variable that is being controlled.  In this case, the distance the spring is stretched.

The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured.  In this case, the force of the spring pulling back.

1. Jen is stepping out of a boat on to a dock. She has one foot on the dock and one foot in
Gemiola [76]

you tend to push off with the foot still on the boat.

Newtons 3rd law of motion hold that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

So, the amount of force you use on your back foot to push yourself onto the dock, has an equal end opposite amount of force going the other way from your sole of your foot, which pushes the boat the other way.

The same principle applies when you fire a cannon - in the pirate films, you see the body of the cannon forced back as it is fired.

Take it one step further, Henry VIII flagship, “Mary Rose fired all its cannons together one day in a broad side, the opposite force rolled the ship over and sank it.

Two children stretch a jump rope between them and send wave pulses back and forth on it. The rope is 3.3 m long, its mass is 0.5
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The linear mass density of rope is 0.16 kg/m.

Explanation:

mass, m = 0.52 kg

force, F = 47 N

length, L = 3.3 m

(a) The linear mass density of the rope is defined as the mass of the rope per unit length.

Linear mass density = m/L = 0.52/3.3 = 0.16 kg/m

A motorist drives north for 36.0 minutes at 96.0 km/h and then stops for 15.0 minutes. He then continues north, traveling 130 km
Over [174]

Answer:

a) d=187.6km

b)v=61.5km/h

Explanation:

First we convert our minutes to hours so we work always in the same units.

36min=36min(\frac{1h}{60min})=0.6h

15min=15min(\frac{1h}{60min})=0.25h

Where we used the fact that 1 hour are 60 min, thus the multiplying factor is equal to 1 (not altering the time, just changing the units).

a) On the first part the motorist travels a distance d_1=v_1t_1=(96km/h)(0.6h)=57.6km, and on the second part he travels d_2=130km.

The total displacement is d=d_1+d_2=57.6km+130km=187.6km

b) The average velocity is the relation between the total displacement and the time taken to cover it. Our total time is t=0.6h+0.25h+2.2h=3.05h, thus we have:

v=\frac{187.6km}{3.05h}=61.5km/h
