Answer:
The new period of rotation using the new spring would be less than the period of rotation using the original spring
Explanation:
Generally the period of rotation of the mass is mathematically represented as

Here I is the moment of inertia of the mass about the rotation axis and k is the spring constant
Now looking at the equation we can tell that T is inversely proportional to the square root of the spring constant which means that for a larger spring constant the time period would be lesser
A speed cause it would slow down meeting eachother
Answer:
s = 3 m
Explanation:
Let t be the time the accelerating car starts.
Let's assume the vehicles are point masses so that "passing" takes no time.
the position of the constant velocity and accelerating vehicles are
s = vt = 40(t + 2) cm
s = ½at² = ½(20)(t)² cm
they pass when their distance is the same
½(20)(t)² = 40(t + 2)
10t² = 40t + 80
0 = 10t² - 40t - 80
0 = t² - 4t - 8
t = (4±√(4² - 4(1)(-8))) / 2(1)
t = (4± 6.928) / 2 ignore the negative time as it has not occurred yet.
t = 5.464 s
s = 40(5.464 + 2) = 298.564 cm
300 cm when rounded to the single significant digit of the question numerals.
time=distance/speed
1.6/100 secs = 0.016secs=16millisecs
