Answer:

.1 seconds per meter

Explanation:

I am going to assume they are asking for the average time per 1 meter.

Because it took 10.23 seconds to run 100 meters, we are going to divide 10.23 by 100. This number will be the time per 1 meter.

To divide by 100, we will move the decimal point over by two. That will give us .1023 seconds.

The question asks to round to the nearest tenth, so we round it to .1 seconds.

*Just some trivia: Danie van Blerk does in fact have a time of 10.23 seconds. He has the 1073rd best 100 meter dash time. First place, Usain Bolt, has a time of 9.58 seconds.

What is the potential energy of a 2,000-kg car parked at the top of a 30-m hill?

babymother [125]

Potential energy is a relative measure, so the answer is dependent on the assumptions we make. The potential energy in the car is going to be gravitational potential energy(PE). PE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is 9.8 m/s^2, and h is the height. So PE = 2000*9.8*h = 19600h. The final answer obviously depends on h. Most likely the problem is assuming that 30 meters under the top of the hill is considered 0 meters. Then h would be 30m and PE would equal 588 kJ.

What is the period of a pendulum that takes 5 seconds to make a complete back and forth vibration

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

-A period is the time it takes to make one full back-and-forth swing.

-A period is calculated as the time taken for a complete swing divided by one cycle:

$T=t/1c\\\\=5s/1\\\\=5s$
