Hello There

Answers: T<span>he elastic potential energy can be increased by: </span>

<span>1) Getting a spring with a higher spring constant</span>

<span>2) Increasing the length at which the spring is compressed.

Reasons: Getting a stronger spring makes it stronger which equals more energy. While increasing the compression on the spring, increases the stored energy which makes it more powerful when its released

I hope this helps

A boat takes 3.0 hours to travel 50 km down a river, then 5.4 hours to return. Determine the speed of the water in the river.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

3.7 km/h

Explanation:

Let's call v the proper speed of the boat and v' the speed of the water in the river.

When the boat travels in the direction of the current, the speed of the boat is:

v + v'

And it covers 50 km in 3 h, so we can write

$v+v' = \frac{50 km}{3 h}=16.7 km/h$ (1)

When the boat travels in the opposite direction, the speed of the boat is

v - v'

And it covers 50 km in 5.4 h, so

$v-v'=\frac{50 km}{5.4 h}=9.3 km/h$ (2)

So we have a system of two equations: by solving them simultaneously, we find the value of v and v':

$v+v'=16.7 \\v-v'=9.3$

Subtracting the second equation from the first one we get:

$(v+v')-(v-v')=16.7-9.3\\2v'=7.4\\v'=3.7$

So, the speed of the water is 3.7 km/h.
