Velocity is a speed AND a direction.
When you turn a corner, or go around a curve in the road, your
direction changes, but the reading on the dial doesn't change.
So it can't be showing velocity. It must be showing only speed.
That's probably a big part of the reason why it's called a speedometer
and not a velocimeter.
Answer:
3.2N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of block = 1.5kg
Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.6
Force of pull on block = 12N
Unknown:
Net force on the block = ?
Solution:
Frictional force is a force that opposes motion:
Net force = Force of pull - Frictional force
Frictional force = umg
u is coefficient of kinetic friction
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Frictional force = 0.6 x 1.5 x 9.8 = 8.8N
Net force = 12N - 8.8N = 3.2N
Answer:
the potential energy will also change
Explanation:
kinetic energy and potential energy are inversely proportional to each other, so if kinetic energy changes, potential energy will also change..
Answer:
0.143 m
Explanation:
The relationship between force applied on a string and stretching of the spring is given by Hooke's law:

where
F is the force exerted on the spring
k is the spring constant of the spring
x is the stretching of the spring from its equilibrium position
In this problem, we have:
F = 20 N is the force applied on the spring
k = 140 N/m is the spring constant
Solving for x, we find how far the spring will stretch:
