Answer:

potential energy = mgh

= 400÷1000 × 10× 4÷100

= 0.4 × 10 × 0.04

=4/10 ×10×4/100

= 4/10 × 4/10

=16/100

= 0.16 joules

m1 (400) stretches 4cm

m1 (100g) stretches 1cm

so, m2(800g) stretches 8 cm

potential energy of m2 = mgh

= 800/1000 ×10×8/100

= 0.8 × 0.8

=8/10 ×8/10

= 64/100

=0.64 joules

Ratio of s1 to s2

16/100 ÷ 64/100

= 1:4 ( answer)

If a car accelerates from rest at a constant 4 m/s
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The time it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s is 7 seconds

Explanation:

The parameters of the car are;

The acceleration of the car, a = 4 m/s²

The final velocity of the car, v = 28 m/s

The initial velocity of the car, u = 0 m/s (The car starts from rest)

The kinematic equation that can be used for finding (the time) how long it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s is given as follows;

v = u + a·t

Where;

v = The final velocity of the car, v = 28 m/s

u = The initial velocity of the car = 0 m/s

a = The acceleration of the car = 4 m/s²

t = =The time it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s

Therefore, we get;

t = (v - u)/a

t = (28 m/s - 0 m/s)/(4 m/s²) = 7 s

The time it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s, t = 7 seconds.

Which tool would you use to measure the amount of rainfall? a. graduated cylinder b. stopwatch c. scale d. thermometer
Fittoniya [83]

A graduated cylinder measures the volume of a liquid.

A stopwatch measures the amount of time that elapses.

A scale measures the mass of objects.

A thermometer measures the temperature of any object.

Because we are measuring rain, a liquid, we would want to use a tool that would allow us to collect the rain for measuring. Therefore, the tool e would use to measure the amount of rainfall would be A. a graduated cylinder.
