<h2>
Answer:</h2>
0.126m
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
According to Hooke's law, the force (F) acting on a spring to cause an extension or compression (e) is given by;
F = k x e -------------------(i)
Where;
k = the spring's constant.
From the question, the force acting on the spring is the weight(W) of the mass. i.e
F = W -----------------------(ii)
<em>But;</em>
W = m x g;
where;
m = mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity [usually taken as 10m/s²]
<em>From equation (ii), it implies that;</em>
F = W = m x g
<em>Now substitute F = m x g into equation(i) as follows;</em>
F = k x e
m x g = k x e ------------------(iii)
<em>From the question;</em>
m = m1 = 3.5kg
k = 278N/m
<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;</em>
3.5 x 10 = 278 x e
35 = 278e
<em>Now solve for e;</em>
e = 35/278
e = 0.126m
Therefore, the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length (which is the same as the extension of the spring) is 0.126m
Answer: C. the rod gains mass and the fur loses mass.
Explanation:Atomic particles have mass. The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton and with exchange exchange of charge this is also factored in. The movement of effect described above is known as the triboelectic charging process—charging by friction—which results in a transfer of electrons between the two objects when they are rubbed together. Plastic having a much greater affinity for electrons than animal fur pulls electrons from the atoms of fur, leaving both objects with an imbalance of charge. The plastic rod would have an excess of electrons and the fur has a shortage of electrons. Having an excess of electrons, the plastic is charged negatively and has more mass. In the same vein, the shortage of electrons on the fur leaves it with a positive charge and consequently with lesser mass.
Normally, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons, which makes atoms electrically neutral. The number of protons in an atom is the defining feature of an atom. It's what makes one element different from another
