Answer: The spring constant for the supermarket scale is 400 N/m.

Explanation:

To calculate the spring constant, we use Hooke's Law. The formula for Hooke's law is:

$F=kx$

where, F = Force applied on the spring = 4N

k = Spring constant = ? N/m

x = Compression or extension of the spring = 0.01m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$400N=k\times 0.01m\\\\k=400N/m$

Hence, the spring constant for the supermarket scale is 400 N/m.

Answer:

300000.01008 Pa

123.76237 m/s²

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of liquid nitrogen = 808 kg/m³

h = Depth

g = Acceleration due to gravity

P = Atmospheric pressure

Absolute Pressure is given by

Below 2 m from surface

$P_a=P+\rho gh\\\Rightarrow 5\times 10^5=P+808g\times 2$

Below 5 m from surface

$P_a=P+\rho gh\\\Rightarrow 8\times 10^5=P+808g\times 5$

Subtracting the above equations we get

$-3\times 10^5=-808g3\\\Rightarrow g=\frac{3\times 10^5}{808\times 3}\\\Rightarrow g=123.76237\ m/s^2$

The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is 123.76237 m/s²

Equating the value of g in the first equation

$5\times 10^5=P+808\times 123.76237\times 2\\\Rightarrow P=5\times 10^5-808\times 123.76237\times 2\\\Rightarrow P=300000.01008\ Pa$

The atmospheric pressure on the planet is 300000.01008 Pa

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Considering Tarzan as a point mass at point L and using the equation for a simple pendulum:

P = 2 pi (L / g)1/2

P^2 = 4 pi^2 L / g

L = g P^2 / (4 pi^2) = 9.8 m/s^2 * 7.27^2 s^2 / (4 pi^2) = 13.1 m

A population has a birthrate of 10/1000 , a death rate of 9/1000, an immigration rate of 3/1000, and an emigration rate of 7/100

Charra [1.4K]

Birth rate 10/1000 = +population

Death rate 9/1000 = -population

Immigration rate 3/1000 = +population

Emigration rate 7/1000 = -population

10/1000 - 9/1000 + 3/1000 - 7/1000= -3/1000

Growth rate = (-3/1000)(100%)= -0.3%
