Answer:

<em>The total length of the spring would be 0.65 m</em>

Explanation:

The Concept

Hooke's law evaluates the increment of  spring in relation to the force acting on the body. Hooke's law states that for a spring undergoing deformation, the  force applied is directly proportional to the deformation experienced by the spring. Hooke's law is represented thus;

F = k x ..................1

where F is the force applied to the spring

k is the spring constant

x is the spring stretch or extension

Step by Step Calculations

We have to obtain x before adding it to the nominal length, We make x the subject formula in equation 1;

x = F/k

but F = m x g

so, x = (m x g)/k

given that, the mass of the person m =150 kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^{2}

k is the spring constant = 10000 N/m

then x = (9.81 m/s^{2} x 150 kg)/10000 N/m

x = 0.14715 m

the extension experienced by the spring after the compression is 0.14715 m

The total length of the spring would be;

L = 0.14715 m + 0.5 m = 0.64715

L ≈  0.65 m

Therefore the total length of the spring would be 0.65 m

Explain Ionic and Covalent bonding..
Elis [28]
Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds.A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding.

You need to produce a set of cylindrical copper wire 3.5 m long that will have a
vazorg [7]

Solution :

We know, resistance is given by :

R = \dfrac{\rho l}{A}

A = \dfrac{\rho l }{R}\\\\A = \dfrac{1.72\times 10^{-8} \times 3.5 }{0.125}\\\\A = 4.816 \times 10^{-7} \ m^2

Now, we know mass of wire is given by :

Mass = Density \times Volume\\\\\M = 8.9 \times 10^3 \times 4.816 \times 10^{-7} \times 3.5 kg\\\\M = 0.01500\ kg\\\\M = 15.00\ gram

Hence, this is the required solution.
