The four wheels of a car are connected to the car's body by spring assemblies that let the wheels move up and down over bumps an

d dips in the road. When a 68 kg (about 150 lb) person sits on the left front fender of a small car, this corner of the car dips by about 1.2 cm (about 1/2 in).
If we treat the spring assembly as a single spring, what is the approximate spring constant?

k= ____________

Answer:

The approximate  spring constant is  k =  55533.33 \  N/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  mass of the person is  m =  68 \ kg

     The  dip of the car is  x =  1.2 \ cm  =  0.012 \ m

Generally according to hooks law  

        F  =  k * x

here the force F is the weight of the person which is mathematically represented as

         F =  m * g

=>    m * g  =  k * x

=>     k  =  \frac{m * g }{x }

=>    k  =  \frac{68 *  9.8}{ 0.012}

=>   k =  55533.33 \  N/m

How do stars serve as evidence for the expansion of the universe and the Big Bang theory?​
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The Doppler red-shift of light observed from distant stars and galaxies gives evidence that the universe is expanding (moving away from a central point). This allows for Big Bang Theory, because after a “bang” occurs all of the matter moves away from the point of origin.

How do you solve 2A= 4lw+2Lh+6wH for w
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

\displaystyle w=\frac{A-Lh}{2l+3H}

Explanation:

Solving Equations by Isolation

We have this equation:

2A= 4lw+2Lh+6wH

Let's solve it for w step by step. First, we flip both sides

4lw+2Lh+6wH =2A

Subtracting 2Lh in both sides

4lw+2Lh+6wH-2Lh =2A-2Lh

Simplifying

4lw+6wH =2A-2Lh

Factoring w

w(4l+6H) =2A-2Lh

Dividing by (4l+6H)

\displaystyle w=\frac{2A-2Lh}{4l+6H}

Simplifying by 2:

\displaystyle \boxed{w=\frac{A-Lh}{2l+3H}}

If you are anchored in a fixed spot, and a set of six waves pass underneath you during a 60 second time interval, what is the wa
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Six waves passes by under 60second interval

Since it has 6 waves,

Then, it correspond to 3 wavelength

Then,

The period of each Each wavelength is 60 / 3

Then,  period = 20seconds

From the relationship between frequency and period

f = 1 / T

f = 1 / 20

f = 0.05 Hz
