Tom has built a large slingshot, but it is not working quite right. He thinks he can model the slingshot like an ideal spring, w

ith a spring constant of 45.0 N/m. When he pulls the slingshot back 0.515 m from a non-stretched position, it just doesn't launch its payload as far as he wants. His physics professor "helps" by telling him to aim for an elastic potential energy of 14.5 Joules. Tom decides he just needs elastic bands with a higher spring constant. By what factor does Tom need to increase the spring constant to hit his potential energy goal?
During a followup conversation, Tom's physics professor suggests that he should leave the slingshot alone and try pulling the slingshot back further without changing the spring constant. How many times further than before must Tom pull the slingshot back to hit the potential energy goal with the original spring constant?

Which is a true statement regarding the law of mass balance? A.Solids, gases, and liquids have their own specific equations for
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

b. when the body converts a nutrient  to another substance, there  is no effect on mass balance.

Explanation:

The law of mass balance states that the mass stays the same in any chemical reaction, that is the reason why a nutrient in human body transforms to another substance like another substance, into muscles (that has mass), a body fluid ( that has mass) or another substance, but the total mass will keep the same, just in a different shape, nature or state.

A truck traveling with an initial velocity of 22m/s comes to a stop in 17.32 secs. What is the acceleration of the truck?
Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 22 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 17.32 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

(0 m/s) = a (17.32 s) + (22 m/s)

a = -1.270 m/s²

Round as needed.

The slowest line is the solid line and the fastest is the dotted line that crosses the solid line
for future reference you just need to find the slope or the line which is traveling most vertical
