Answer:
If x₁=12 cm then k=1.7985 N/m
If x₂=15 cm then k=1.4388 N/m
Explanation:
Hanging mass= 22 g=0.022 kg
Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81 m/s²
If x₁=displacement= 12 cm=0.12 m
k= spring constant


∴k = 1.7985 N/m
If x₂=15 cm=0.15 m
Force of the hanging mass is same however the spring constant will change

∴k = 1.4388 N/m
As the mass is not changing the spring constant has to change. That means that here there are two spring one with k=1.7985 N/m and the other with k= 1.4388 N/m
Answer:
There is no great force, the force exerted by the Earth on the Sun, and the force exerted by the Sun on the Earth are equal
Explanation:
By definition...
A) 1.55
The speed of light in a medium is given by:

where
is the speed of light in a vacuum
n is the refractive index of the material
In this problem, the speed of light in quartz is

So we can re-arrange the previous formula to find n, the index of refraction of quartz:

B) 550.3 nm
The relationship between the wavelength of the light in air and in quartz is

where
is the wavelenght in quartz
is the wavelength in air
n is the refractive index
For the light in this problem, we have

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find
, the wavelength in air:
