AI Thread Summary
To determine how far a car travels in 15 minutes at a speed of 20 m/s, first convert the time from minutes to seconds, resulting in 900 seconds. The distance formula is used, where distance equals speed multiplied by time. By calculating 20 m/s multiplied by 900 seconds, the result is 18,000 meters, which converts to 18 kilometers. The discussion confirms the calculations and conversions are correct.

Hint: Look at the units.

The car's speed is given in meters/second
The time is given in minutes
The answer is given in kilometers

So,we'll convert 15 min. to sec. = 900 s
meters into kilometers = 0.02 m
distance = 0.02 X 900 = 18 km.

Right??
 
You got it!

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
