Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

From Newton's second law;

Ft = m(v-u)

F = Force applied

t = time taken

v = final velocity

u  = initial velocity

20 * t = 32 (9 - 4)

20t = 32 * 5

t = 32 * 5/ 20

t = 8 seconds

When a 3.0 kg mass is hung from a vertical massless spring, the spring is stretched 40 cm. What is the spring constant of the sp
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

0.74 N/cm

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 3 Kg

Extention (e) = 40 cm

Spring constant (K) =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted on the spring.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 3 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = mg

F = 3 × 9.8

F = 29.4 N

Finally, we shall determine the spring constant of the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Extention (e) = 40 cm

Force (F) = 29.4 N

Spring constant (K) =?

F = Ke

29.4 = K × 40

Divide both side by 40

K = 29.4 / 40

K = 0.74 N/cm

Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 0.74 N/cm

A man 2 meters tall walks at the rate of 2 meters per second toward a streetlight that's 5 meters above the ground. At what rate
GaryK [48]

Answer:

It changes at a rate of 4/3 meter per second

Explanation:

In the given figure below we have

\Delta OBD\simeq \Delta ABC\\\\\therefore \frac{5}{X+Y}=\frac{2}{Y}\\\\

Solving for Y given  X=2m/s we get

\frac{5}{2+Y}=\frac{2}{Y}\\\\5Y=4+2Y\\\\Y=\frac{4}{3}m/s

_____ heat provides energy for thunderstorms and hurricanes. Polar Geothermal Nuclear Latent
NikAS [45]
The correct answer is Latent. Latent heat provides energy for thunderstorms and hurricanes. Hurricanes are a low pressure that is formed in warm oceans and the source of this energy is water vapor. Water vapor serves to be the food to the hurricanes because they release the latent heat of condensation.

44. ( John weighs 80 kg, and eats a 1,000 J candy bar. If his
Darina [25.2K]

John can run with the velocity of 5 m/s

Explanation:

  • Kinetic energy is defined as the energy is being used to do an activity, basically energy associated with the motion of objects in the universe.
  • The formula used to find the kinetic energy of an object is k = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} where as k represented as kinetic energy, m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the given object.
  • Here, to find the answer we have to re-write the equation as v = \sqrt[2]{\frac{2 k}{m} }
  • Given, the mass of the object, here it is John = 80 kg, energy needs to be converted to kinetic energy, k = 1000  J.
  • Hence, substitute all the values, then you would velocity as 5 m/s
