If a car is traveling 103 miles per hour, how many miles and how much time would it take for another car to catch up to them fro
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Required distance is 103 miles and the required time is 1 hour

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the car, v = 103 miles per hour

Speed is the given as the ratio of distance traveled to time taken for the motion.

The distance it will take another car to catch up to them from a complete stop is 103 miles and the time it will take the car is 1 hour.

Therefore, required distance is 103 miles and the required time is 1 hour.

A 1kg ball is dropped (from rest) 100m onto a spring with spring constant 125N/m. How much does the spring compress?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

3.95 m

Explanation:

m = 1 kg, h = 100 m, k = 125 N/m

Let the spring is compressed by y.

Use the conservation of energy

potential energy of the mass is equal to the energy stored in the spring

m x g x h = 1/2 x ky^2

1 x 9.8 x 100 = 0.5 x 125 x y^2

y^2 = 15.68

y = 3.95 m
