light spring of force constant k = 158 N/m rests vertically on the bottom of a large beaker of water (Figure a). A 4.36-kg block

of wood (density = 650 kg/m3) is connected to the spring, and the block-spring system is allowed to come to static equilibrium (Figure b). What is the elongation ΔL of the spring?

Answer:

0.146 m

Explanation:

f = -KΔL according to Hooke's law

volume of water displaced = mass / density of block since a body will displace equal volume of its own

weight of water displaced = mass of water × acceleration due to gravity

and mass of water = volume of water / density of water

weight of water displaced = Vw × dw × g = mg (dw / dblock)

net force = mg - mg (dw / dblock) = 42.728  - 65.74 = -23.00

it will be balanced by a restoring force of 23 N

ΔL = F / k = 23 / 158 = 0.146 m

Why might some rivers form canyons and other form valleys??
kap26 [50]

Valleys are one of the most common landforms on the Earth and they are formed through erosion or the gradual wearing down of the land by wind and water. In river valleys ​for example, the river acts as an erosional agent by grinding down the rock or soil and creating a valley

A 27 kg bear slides, from rest, 14 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 6.1 m/s just before hitting the ground.
Nadusha1986 [10]
<h2>Thus the force of friction is 235 N</h2>

Explanation:

When the bear was at the height of 14 m . Its potential energy = m g h

here m is the mass of bear , g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height .

Thus P.E =  27 x 10 x 14 = 3780 J

The K.E of the bear just before hitting = \frac{1}{2} m v²

=   \frac{1}{2} x 27 x ( 6.1 )²  = 490 J

The force of friction f = P.E - K.E = 3290 J

Because the work done = Force x Distance

Thus frictional force = \frac{3290}{14} = 235 N

If you run your boat aground what should you do first
padilas [110]
If you run your boat aground, the first thing you should do is to calmly assess the situation. In case you have passengers on your boat, you should have them don PFDs (personal flotation devices). Afterwards, you should turn off the engine, check if there is any damage, and generally see if everything is okay.
