The fast lap is irrelevant to the question, because it didn't happen
until after the 9 laps that you're interested in.

To be perfectly technical about it, we don't actually have enough
information to answer the question.  You told us her average speed
for 10 laps, but we don't know anything about how her speed may
have changed during the whole 10 laps.  For all we know, maybe
she took a nap first, and then got up and drove 10 laps at the speed
of 125 metres per second.  That would produce the average speed
of 12.5 metres per second and we would never know it  Why not ?
That's only 280 miles per hour.  Bikes can do that, can't they ?

IF we can assume that Amy maintained a totally steady pace through
the entire 10 laps, then we could say that her average for 9 laps was
also 12.5 metres per second.

Which of the following is an effect of the electric force?
stich3 [128]

As we know that two charges exert force on each other when they are placed near to each other

The force between two charges is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

here we know that

q_1, q_2 = two different point charges

r = distance between two point charges

also we know that two similar charges always repel each other while two opposite charges always attract each other

so here correct answer would be

<em>A. A positive and negative charge attract each other.</em>

A block rests on a frictionless horizontal surface and is attached to a spring. When set into simple harmonic motion, the block
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

v₀ = 0.5058 m/s

Explanation:

From the question, for the block to hit the bottle, the elastic potential energy of the spring at the bottle (x = 0.08 m) should be equal to the sum of the elastic potential energy of the spring at x = 0.05 m and the kinetic energy of block at x = 0.05 m

Now, the potential energy of the block at x = 0.08 m is ½kx²

where;

k is the spring constant given by; k = ω²m

ω is the angular velocity of the oscillation

m is the mass of the block.

Thus, potential energy of the spring at the bottle(x = 0.08 m) is;

U = ½ω²m(0.08m)²

Also, potential energy of the spring at the bottle(x = 0.05 m) is;

U = ½ω²m(0.05m)²

and the kinetic energy of the block at x = 0.05 m is;

K = ½mv₀²

Thus;

½ω²m(0.08)² = ½ω²m(0.05)² + ½mv₀²

Inspecting this, ½m will cancel out to give;

ω²(0.08)² = ω²(0.05)² + v₀²

Making v₀ the subject, we have;

v₀ = ω√((0.08)² - (0.05)²)

So,

v₀ = 8.1√((0.08)² - (0.05)²)

v₀ = 0.5058 m/s
