d = distance traveled by her on her bicycle on a long flat road = 24 kilometer
t = time taken by her to travel distance "d" on her bicycle on a long flat road = 1.2 hours
v = average speed of vivian = ?
we know that average speed is given as
v = d/t
inserting the values in the above formula
v = 24 kilometer / 1.2 hour
v = 20 kilometer/hour
hence the correct choice is
C) 20 km/h
Answer:
k1 + k2
Explanation:
Spring 1 has spring constant k1
Spring 2 has spring constant k2
After being applied by the same force, it is clearly mentioned that spring are extended by the same amount i.e. extension of spring 1 is equal to extension of spring 2.
x1 = x2
Since the force exerted to each spring might be different, let's assume F1 for spring 1 and F2 for spring 2. Hence the equations of spring constant for both springs are
k1 = F1/x -> F1 =k1*x
k2 = F2/x -> F2 =k2*x
While F = F1 + F2
Substitute equation of F1 and F2 into the equation of sum of forces
F = F1 + F2
F = k1*x + k2*x
= x(k1 + k2)
Note that this is applicable because both spring have the same extension of x (I repeat, EXTENTION, not length of the spring)
Considering the general equation of spring forces (Hooke's Law) F = kx,
The effective spring constant for the system is k1 + k2
Speed equals distance divided by time, so 350 divided by 2.5 equals 140 kilometers per hour.
m = mass of the car moving in horizontal circle = 1750 kg
v = Constant speed of the car moving in the horizontal circle = 15 m/s
r = radius of the horizontal circular track traced by the car = 45.0 m
F = magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the car
To move in a circle . centripetal force is required which is given as
F = m v²/r
inserting the above values in the formula
F = (1750) (15)²/(45)
F = (1750) (225)/(45)
F = 1750 x 5
F = 8750 N
