A scientific claim<span> can be a prediction that something will happen, based on a scientific theory or a hypothesis. A valid scientific claim is when t</span><span>he claim is supported by at least ten scientists in addition to the original researcher. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
Answer:
k1 + k2
Explanation:
Spring 1 has spring constant k1
Spring 2 has spring constant k2
After being applied by the same force, it is clearly mentioned that spring are extended by the same amount i.e. extension of spring 1 is equal to extension of spring 2.
x1 = x2
Since the force exerted to each spring might be different, let's assume F1 for spring 1 and F2 for spring 2. Hence the equations of spring constant for both springs are
k1 = F1/x -> F1 =k1*x
k2 = F2/x -> F2 =k2*x
While F = F1 + F2
Substitute equation of F1 and F2 into the equation of sum of forces
F = F1 + F2
F = k1*x + k2*x
= x(k1 + k2)
Note that this is applicable because both spring have the same extension of x (I repeat, EXTENTION, not length of the spring)
Considering the general equation of spring forces (Hooke's Law) F = kx,
The effective spring constant for the system is k1 + k2
Answer:
The energy that drives this movement is heat within the earth, this heat comes from two main sources which are;
1) residual heat left over from the formation of our planet billions of years ago.
2) The radioactive decay of naturally occurring chemical elements (notably uranium, thorium, and potassium ) in the earth releases energy in the form of heat. These two sources of heat warm Earth’s mantle and cause it to rise and sink, this rising and sinking creates a convectional movement of earth mantle.
Hi there!
If they are in opposite direction:
- Let UP be the POSITIVE direction and DOWN be the NEGATIVE direction.
Thus:
∑F = 114.6 - 70.7 = 43.9 N upward
If they are in the SAME, downward direction:
∑F = -114.6 - 70.7 = -185.3
The magnitude is the absolute value, so:
|-185.3| = 185.3 N downward
