B. The resistance is directly proportional to length and inversely proportional to cross sectional area
Answer:
9 cm.
Explanation:
The energy used for stretch the spring from
to
will be ,
The energy used for stretch the spring from
to
will be ,
using the energy of spring formula ,we find that


Dividing both the equation will get,

Therefore, the natural length of the spring is, 9 cm.
I think it should be option (b)
Answer : The average speed of the sprinter is, 34.95 Km/hr
Solution :
Average velocity : It is defined as the distance traveled by the time taken.
Formula used for average velocity :

where,
= average velocity
d = distance traveled = 200 m
t = time taken = 20.6 s
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the average velocity of the sprinter.

conversion :
(1 Km = 1000m)
(1 hr = 3600 s)
Therefore, the average speed of the sprinter is, 34.95 Km/hr
