Answer:

Spring constant, k = 8740.89 N/m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Potential energy = 4.2 J

Extension, e = 3.1 cm to meters = 3.1/100 = 0.031 m

To find the spring constant;

Mathematically, the potential energy stored in a spring is given by the formula;

P.E = \frac {1}{2}Kx^{2}

Where;

P.E is potential energy.

K is the spring constant.

x is the extension of the spring.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

4.2 = \frac {1}{2}*k*0.031^{2}

Cross-multiplying, we have;

8.4 = k*0.000961

k = \frac {8.4}{0.000961}

Spring constant, k = 8740.89 N/m

A box is sliding down an incline tilted at a 11.1° angle above horizontal. The box is initially sliding down the incline at a sp
raketka [301]

Answer:s=0.68 m

Explanation:

Given

Inclination \theta =11.1^{\circ}

Speed of block(u)=1.6 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic Friction \mu _k=0.39

deceleration provided by friction=g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta [/tex]

Using v^2-u^2=2as

Final velocity v=0

0-1.6^2=2(g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta )s

s=\frac{-1.6^2}{2\cdot (9.8\sin 11.1-0.39\times 9.8\times \cos 11.1)}

s=0.68 m

Kyra and Pari are timing how long it takes for 1 g of sugar to dissolve in hot water. Kyra records a time of 24.3 seconds. Pari
Hoochie [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>we can say that:-</h3>
  1. A reading with more no of significant figures is considered to be more precise.
  2. Kyra recorded a reading of 24.3 sec. Since all non 0 digits are considered to be significant this reading has 3 significant figures.
  3. Pari recorded a reading of 24 sec. Since all non 0 digits are considered to be significant this reading has 3 significant figures.
<h3>hence we can say that kyra's reading has more significant figures nd so it is more precise.</h3>

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Acceleration = 5.77 m/s²

Distance cover in 13 seconds = 487.56 meter

Explanation:

Given:

Final velocity of mobile device = 75 m/s

initial velocity of mobile device = 0 m/s

Time taken = 13 seconds

Find:

Acceleration

Distance cover in 13 seconds

Computation:

v = u + at

75 = 0 + (a)(13)

13a = 75

a = 5.77

Acceleration = 5.77 m/s²

s = ut + (1/2)(a)(t²)

s = (0)(t) + (1/2)(5.77)(13²)

Distance cover in 13 seconds = 487.56 meter
