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.

Describe at least four of the requirements (facts) that any model of solar system formation must include (according to the nebul
kvasek [131]
The nebular theory describes the formation of the solar system and states that the system began as a gigantic cloud of gas and dust called a nebula which eventually condensed to form the sun, planets and other objects in the solar system. The first fact speaks to the formation of the planets, where gravity pulled larger clumps of material closer to form solid rocky planets closer to the sun and gas giants further out. The second requirement is that a nearby explosion or super nova would have to disturb our nebula to trigger rotation and the eventual formation of the sun. The third requirement/fact is that the planets go around the sun in the same direction. the last fact is that the planets go around the sun within 6 degrees of a common plane. This indicates that the solar system formed from a spinning disk of materials.

How does an environmental change (ex. hurricane, drought, etc.) affect the organisms that are adapted to the environment before
rjkz [21]
The environmental changes can will negatively affect different organisms differently, for example some organisms might die due to failure of the organisms to adapt to the new changes. Some organisms will be forced to migrate in order to counter these changes, this may lead to this organisms leaving their old living routine and adapt to the new methods of living, this may lead to evolution caused by new environment.

How does inertia affect someone who isn't wearing a seatbelt
Paul [167]
Basically, when someone is resting in an accelerated vehicle without restraint from a seatbelt, the force of stopping the vehicle will be when inertia occurs, and that force of the vehicle coming to a stop will affect the passenger (without a seatbelt/restraint from another force or object) greatly by throwing them.
For example;
If I were to be riding in a vehicle (without a seatbelt) that's accelerating at 40 m/s^2 and it suddenly gets slammed on the breaks, I will be thrown forward from inside the vehicle.

I hope this helps!
