"Y2K" signifies "Year 2000" where the "k" represents 1,000 (used to denote 1,000 units in the metric system). Therefore, 2*1000 = 2000.

Suppose k is m what percent of k is m?

my bad!!! its : Suppose k is 20% of m.


What equation shows that k is one more than twice m?

K is two times m add 1 k = (2 m ) + 1 k=2m+1


If k equals 1000 than m equals what?

We need a formula to work this one out.If k = m, then m - 1000If k = 2m, then m = 500If k = 0.5m, then m = 2000You need to provide us with more information before we can answer this.


What are th 4 fundamental laws in mathematics?

The Law of 4 Laws of addition and multiplication Commutative laws of addition and multiplication. Associative laws of addition and multiplication. Distributive law of multiplication over addition. Commutative law of addition: m + n = n + m . A sum isn't changed at rearrangement of its addends. Commutative law of multiplication: m · n = n · m . A product isn't changed at rearrangement of its factors. Associative law of addition: ( m + n ) + k = m + ( n + k ) = m + n + k . A sum doesn't depend on grouping of its addends. Associative law of multiplication: ( m · n ) · k = m · ( n · k ) = m · n · k . A product doesn't depend on grouping of its factors. Distributive law of multiplication over addition: ( m + n ) · k = m · k + n · k . This law expands the rules of operations with brackets (see the previous section).


What is the relation between the spring constant and the frequency?

angular frequency = square root (K/m) wher k is spring constant and m = mass linear frequency = 1/2pi times square root (K/m)
