Answer:

2.80N/m

Explanation:

Given data

mass m= 56kg

perios T= 11.2s

The expression for the period is given as

T=2π√m/k

Substitute

11.2= 2*3.142*√56/k

square both sides

11.2^2= 2*3.142*56/k

125.44= 351.904/k

k=351.904/125.44

k= 2.80N/m

Hence the spring constant is 2.80N/m

(1) A net force of 265 N accelerates a bike and rider at 2.30 m/s. What is the mass of the
kati45 [8]

Answer: 115.2kg

Explanation:

Net force = 265 N

Acceleration of bike & rider = 2.30m/s2 (The SI unit of acceleration is m/s2)

Mass of the bike and rider together = ?

Since force is the product of the mass of an object and the acceleration by which it moves, Force = Mass x Acceleration

265N = Mass x 2.30m/s2

Mass = (265N/2.30m/s2)

Mass = 115.2 kg

Thus, the Mass of the bike and rider together is 115.2kg

A stone dropped in a pond sends out a circular ripple whose radius increases at a constant rate of 4 ft/sec. After 12 seconds, h
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

After 12 seconds, the area enclosed by the ripple will be increasing rapidly at the rate of 1206.528 ft²/sec

Explanation:

Area of a circle = πr²

where;

r is the circle radius

Differentiate the area with respect to time.

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

dr/dt = 4 ft/sec

after 12 seconds, the radius becomes = \frac{dr}{dt} X 12 = 4 \frac{ft}{sec}  X 12 sec = 48 ft

To obtain how rapidly is the area enclosed by the ripple increasing after 12 seconds, we calculate dA/dt

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi (48)(4)

    dA/dt = 1206.528 ft²/sec

Therefore, after 12 seconds, the area enclosed by the ripple will be increasing rapidly at the rate of 1206.528 ft²/sec

It takes 15 min to drive 6.0 mi in a straight line to the local hospital. It takes 10 min to go the last 3.0 mi, 2.0 min to go t
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

36.87 km/h

Explanation:

Convert all the units in SI system

1 mile = 1609.34 m

d1 = 6 mi = 9656.04 m

t1 = 15 min = 15 x 60 = 900 s

d2 = 3 mi = 4828.02 m

t2 = 10 min = 10 x 60 = 600 s

d3 = 1 mi = 1609.34 m

t3 = 2 min = 2 x 60 = 120 s

d4 = 0.5 mi = 804.67 m

t4 = 0.5 min = 0.5 x 60 = 30 s

Total distance, d = d1 + d2 + d3 + d4

d = 9656.04 + 4828.02 +  1609.34 + 804.67 = 16898.07 m = 16.898 km

total time, t = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4

t = 900 + 600 + 120 + 30 = 1650 s = 0.4583 h

The ratio of the total distance covered to the total time taken is called average speed.

Average speed = 16.898 / 0.4583 = 36.87 km/h

1. What happens when like charges come together?*
12345 [234]

Answer:

When like charges come together, they repel each other. For instance, when the north and south poles of a magnet come together, they push each other apart. The like poles in the magnet repel each other and unlike poles attract each other much. The same reaction occurs in like and unlike charges. Also, the repulsion acts along the line between the two charges.
