The spring constant is 66.7 N/m

Explanation:

First of all, we have to find the magnitude of the force acting on the spring. This is equal to the weight of the mass hanging on the spring, which is:

F=mg

where:

m = 0.50 kg is the mass of the object

g=10 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting,

F=(0.50)(10)=5 N

Now we can use Hookes' law to find the constant of the spring:

F=-kx

where

F is the force applied

k is the spring constant

x is the stretching of the spring

Here we have:

F = 5 N

While the stretching is

x = 0.075 m

Therefore, ignoring the negative sign in the formula (which only tells us the direction), we find the spring constant:

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{5}{0.075}=66.7 N/m

For the sun, which is the final step in core fusion?
Marina86 [1]
The answer would be stage of<span> conversion of Hydrogen to Helium.
At the end of this phase, the helium content of the suns will have the popping effect where more and more helium is now on the core resulting to higher temp and density as helium converted from hydrogen is much heavier.</span>

Bones are classified as long, short, flat, and which other shape ?
Dvinal [7]
Irregular Bones

An irregular bone is one that does not have any easily characterized shape and therefore does not fit any other classification. These bones tend to have more complex shapes, like the vertebrae that support the spinal cord and protect it from compressive forces. Many facial bones, particularly the ones containing sinuses, are classified as irregular bones.
Sesamoid Bones

A sesamoid bone is a small, round bone that, as the name suggests, is shaped like a sesame seed. These bones form in tendons (the sheaths of tissue that connect bones to muscles) where a great deal of pressure is generated in a joint. The sesamoid bones protect tendons by helping them overcome compressive forces. Sesamoid bones vary in number and placement from person to person but are typically found in tendons associated with the feet, hands, and knees. The patellae (singular = patella) are the only sesamoid bones found in common with every person. [link] reviews bone classifications with their associated features, functions, and examples.
