C. newtons/meter

Explanation:

The unit of spring constant K is newtons/meter.

The spring constant is also known as the stiffness.

F = k e

F is the force

k is the spring constant

e is the extension.

The unit of F is newtons

e is meters

Therefore, k becomes newtons/meter

Stiffness is the resistance to stretch of a body.

to figure out what m/s is you would divide the distance by time.

1000 divided by 1200 is equal to .83 so

.83 m/s as your final answer

A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 120 kg and a radius of 1.80 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.600 rev

natulia [17]

Answer:

The final velocity $\omega_f = 0.4235 \frac{rev}{s}$

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of merry go round $M_m$ = 120 kg

Radius = 1.8 m

Initial angular velocity $\omega_i$ = 0.6 $\frac{rev}{sec}$

Mass of boy $M_{boy}$ = 25 kg

We know that the final velocity is given by

$\omega_f = \frac{\frac{1}{2}M_m \omega_i }{M_{boy} + \frac{1}{2} M_m }$

Put all the values in above formula we get

$\omega_f = \frac{\frac{1}{2}(120) 0.6}{25 + \frac{1}{2} (120) }$

$\omega_f = 0.4235 \frac{rev}{s}$

This is the final velocity.
