enyata [817]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

7.5 N/m

Explanation:

Potential energy of a spring can be calculated using below formula

Potential energy= 1/2kx^2

potential energy = 60 J

X= displacement = 4 m

K= spring constant=?

Substitute the values we have

60= 1/2 × K × 4^2

60= 1/2 × K × 16

60= K × 8

K= 7.5 N/m

Hence, the spring constant of the spring is 7.5 N/m

Summarize: Based on what you have learned, how will the sound that the observer hears
Reil [10]

Answer: The sound will change due to changes in frequency and the wavelength of the airplane.

Explanation: Let assume that the observer is at a stationary position. The wavelength of the sound from the airplane reduces and the frequency increases as the plane is moving toward the observer. As the airplane passes by, that is, moving away from the observer, the frequency starts to reduce while the wavelength of the sound starts to increase.

The sound that the observer hears will change base on the illustration above.

A pickup truck and a hatchback car start at the same position. If the truck is moving at a constant 33.2m/s and the hatchback ca
love history [14]

Answer:

The pickup truck and hatchback will meet again at 440.896 m

Explanation:

Let us assume that both vehicles are at origin at the start means initial position is zero i.e. s_{o} = 0. Both the vehicles will cross each other at same time so we will make equations for both and will solve for time.

Truck:

v_{i} = 33.2 m/s, a = 0 (since the velocity is constant), s_{o} = 0

Using s =s_{o}+v_{i}t+1/2at^{2}

s = 33.2t .......... eq (1)

Hatchback:

a=5m/s^{2}, v_{i} = 0 m/s (since initial velocity is zero), s_{o} = 0

Using s =s_{o}+v_{i}t+1/2at^{2}

putting in the data we will get

s=(1/2)(5)t^{2}

now putting 's' value from eq (1)

2.5t^{2}-33.2t=0

which will give,

t = 13.28 s

so both vehicles will meet up gain after 13.28 sec.

putting t = 13.28 in eq (1) will give

s = 440.896 m

So, both vehicles will meet up again at 440.896 m.
