Answer:

Many speculation exists for why the term 'scrubbed' is used in relation to launches. One of these is that during world war II, when the Air force planned bombing raids. These Air force missions had their briefings done with illustration of the details of the launch and and flight drawn on chalkboards. When some of mission flight takeoffs were canceled (due to bad weather or a malfunction or other reasons) the details were then scrubbed off of the chalkboard. This idea of the mission being scrubbed meaning that it is no longer to be followed through with, proceeded to this modern day rocket and aviation launches.

Hooke's law. The distance d when a spring is stretched by a hanging objective varies directly as the weight w of the object. If

Fofino [41]

Hooke's law is F=-kx, which means the elastic force contained by the spring is a product of the distance it stretches and its spring constant, but the direction of the force is opposite that of the displacement. We calculate as follows:

(3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = -k(-0.38 m)
k = 77.4

Then use k to find the new displacement, again using Hooke's law:
(7 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = -(77.4)x
x = -0.89 m

A motorcycle running on gasoline wastes a large amount of energy mainly as A) heat energy and sound energy. B) light energy and

vlada-n [284]

A motorcycle mainly wastes energy as heat energy and sound energy. In the engine, chemical energy is transformed into mechanical energy. However, the engine is inefficient and much of the chemical energy is lost as heat energy. Also, some of the energy is transformed to sound energy. This explains why the motorcycle is noisy and has an exhaust pipe.
