Answer;

offgassing

Explanation;

The removal of the embedded gas from a solid object, as happens when formaldehyde in new carpets & furniture is released into the air, is a process known as offgassing.

It occurs when new, manufactured items in our homes release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemicals. These compounds include, paints, glue, finishes, among others, they release gases into air.

Consider two massless springs connected in parallel. Springs 1 and 2 have spring constants k1 and k2 and are connected via a thi
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

k1 + k2

Explanation:

Spring 1 has spring constant k1

Spring 2 has spring constant k2

After being applied by the same force, it is clearly mentioned that spring are extended by the same amount i.e. extension of spring 1 is equal to extension of spring 2.

x1 = x2

Since the force exerted to each spring might be different, let's assume F1 for spring 1 and F2 for spring 2. Hence the equations of spring constant for both springs are

k1 = F1/x -> F1 =k1*x

k2 = F2/x -> F2 =k2*x

While F = F1 + F2

Substitute equation of F1 and F2 into the equation of sum of forces

F = F1 + F2

F = k1*x + k2*x

= x(k1 + k2)

Note that this is applicable because both spring have the same extension of x (I repeat, EXTENTION, not length of the spring)

Considering the general equation of spring forces (Hooke's Law) F = kx,

The effective spring constant for the system is k1 + k2

It is said that a gas fills all the space available to it. Why then doesn't the atmosphere go off into space?
Alex777 [14]
Earth has its own atmosphere. That is one reason all the water that has been on Earth has been recycled through the water cycle. It never leaves Earth’s atmosphere.

An engine raises 120kg of water through a height of 40m in 30s.What is the power of the engine take gravity to be = 10m/s.​
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

  1600 W

Explanation:

Power is the product of force and distance, divided by time.

  P = (120 kg)(10 m/s²)(40 m)/(30 s) = 1600 kg·m²/s³ = 1600 W

If you had a 14 m long timeline, where would the extinction of the dinosaurs be?
Lapatulllka [165]

If you had a 14 m long timeline, the dinosaurs would be less than one meter from the end.

<h3>What is extinction of species?</h3>

The extinction of species or organisms is the process by which some environmental factors cause a decline in the number of species through death.

Dinosaurs are some of the examples of species that are in extinct.

Since dinosaurs are in extinction, If you had a 14 m long timeline, the dinosaurs would be less than one meter from the end.
