Well, let's see:

If you live 'D' kilometers from the city, and you go and return by the same route, then

-- The time it takes you to reach the city, at 40 km/h, is  D/40  hours.

-- The time it takes you to return, at 60 km/h, is    D/60.

-- The total distance you cover is  2D, and the total driving time is

                        (D/40) + (D/60)

                   =  (3D/120)  +  (2D/120)

                   =        5D/120  =  D/24

-- Your average speed for the entire trip is

                         (distance covered)  /  (time to cover the distance)

                   =            ( 2D )   /   ( D/24 )

                   =              48 km/hr.

Using hooke's law find the elastic constant of a spring that stretches 2 cm when 4newton force is applied to it
Kay [80]

<u>Answer:</u>

2N/cm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

According to the Hooke's Law, the force required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional distance you can stretch it, which is represented as:

F=kx

where, F is the force which is stretching or compressing the spring,

k is the spring constant; and

x is the distance the spring is stretched.

Substituting the given values to find the elastic constant  k to get:

F=kx

4=k(2)

k=\frac{4}{2}

k=2

Therefore, the elastic constant is 2 Newton/cm.

25. Explain why the speed of sound is faster in solids than in gases. Include two other factors Chapter 17 says the speed of sou
aksik [14]
In solids, particles or atom are very closely arranged compared to gasses. When these particles are arranged in such proximity, vibrations from sound are very easily transmitted from one particle to another in the solid. Hence, the sound vibrations can travel through the solid medium more quickly than through a gas medium.
Speed of sound also depends on its frequency and the wavelength.

A car has a force of 2000N and a mass of 1000kg. What is the acceleration
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

2m/s/s

Explanation:

The formula goes- F=MA

F-Force M-Mass & A-Acceleration

We need to rearrange this formula to find the acceleration-

A=F/M

All we need to do now is substitute the values in

A=2000N/1000kg

A=2m/s^2

In the given option the last option (2m/s/s) would be the ans, as it's the same as 2m/s^2

So ya, I guess that's all
