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

How does the molecular structure of a water molecule affect its polarity?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The polarity of water molecules means that molecules of water will stick to each other like when unlike charges attracts. This is called hydrogen bonding.

Polarity makes water a good solvent, gives it the ability to stick to itself (cohesion), stick to other substances (adhesion), and have surface tension (due to hydrogen bonding).

When the two hydrogen atoms bond with the oxygen, they attach to the top of the molecule. This molecular structure gives the water molecule polarity, or a lopsided electrical charge that attracts other atoms. The end of the molecule with the two hydrogen atoms is positively charged.

A 20-N force acts on an object with a mass of 2.0kg. what is the objects acceleration?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

10 m/s^2

Explanation:

Equation: F = ma.

a = acceleration

m = mass

F = force

Because we are trying to find acceleration instead of force we want to rearrange the equation to solve for a which is F/m = a.

F = 20

m = 2

a = ?

a = F/m

a = 20/2

a = 10 m/s^2

MissTica

Answer:

Visible Light and Radio waves

Explanation:

The earth's atmosphere is transparent to a few windows in the electromagnetic spectrum. it is completely transparent to allow observation from the ground in visible light rang 380 to 740 nano meters. Also in the range of radio wave as communication are done from space to ground in the form of radio waves.

it is Partially transparent to Microwave and infrared range.
