Place the single weight with a known mass on the spring and release it. Eventually, the weight will come to rest at an equilibri

um position, with the spring somewhat stretched compared to its original (unweighted) length. At this point, the upward force of the spring balances the force of gravity on the weight. With the weight in its equilibrium position, how does the amount the spring is stretched depend on the value of the weight's mass?

Answer:

X=m*g/K

Explanation:

Since the elastic force of the spring is balancing the force of gravity:

Fe = m*g

Now, on the spring by Hook's law, the magnitude of the elastic force will be:

Fe = K*X     where K is the elastic constant of the spring and X is the distance the spring is strectches measured from its original lenght to its current length.

Replacing this value:

K*X = m*g   Solving for X:

X = m*g/K    This value is directly proportional to the object's weight and inversely proportional to the spring's constant.

If the air temperature is greater than the surface (water or land) temperature, there will be a net transfer of thermal energy f
ruslelena [56]

The thermal energy will be transferred from the air to the surface. Hence, the answer is false.

Thermal energy can be transferred from higher temperatures to lower temperatures. It is obey the second law of thermodynamics

"At a very microscopic level, it simply says that if you have a system that is isolated, any natural process in that system progresses in the direction of increasing disorder, or entropy, of the system."

It means that heat energy transferred from the higher temperature and the lower temperature states will absorb heat energy from the surrounding. The thermal energy will be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation.

Give an example of a scientific hypothesis. Explain how you would test it, and how it could be falsified (proved untrue).
kaheart [24]

my hypothesis is that If you drop a piece of buttered toast, it will land butter side down.


I tested it by dropping 10 pieces of buttered toast off the table and noted on which side it landed


It could be falsified cause I just made all of this up. In essence, it's like flipping a coin, 50/50 chance so I could say that 5 landed butter up and 5 landed butter down.

What is the acceleration of a car initially traveling at -5m/s and<br> reaching -22m/s in 3s.
lozanna [386]

Answer:

a=-5.67\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = -5 m/s

Final velocity, v = -22 m/s

Time, t = 3s

We need to find the acceleration of the car. The formula of it is given by :

Acceleration,

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{(-22)-(-5)}{3}\\\\a=-5.67\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is -5.67\ m/s^2.
