Answer:

12.0N

Explanation:

This problem is solved using Hooke's law which states that the extension or compression experienced by an elastic material is proportional the the force or load applied provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded.

F=ke..................(1)

where F is the force applied, k is the elastic constant and e is the extension of the material.

e=l_1-l_o..................(2)

were l_o is the original length of the material and l_1 is its total length after extension.

Given;

F = 8.0N

l_o=3cm\\l_1=5cm\\k=?

therefore,

e=5-3\\e=2cm

substituting all necessary values into equation (1), we get;

8=k*2\\k=\frac{8}{2}\\k=4N/cm

The force required to give the spring a total length of 6cm is thus calculated;

in this case,

l_1=6cm\\therefore\\e=6-3\\e=3cm

hence F is given as follows;

F=(4N/cm) *3cm\\F=12.0N

If the man on the left pulls on the object with a force of 500 N and the man on the right pulls on the object with a force of 75
Igoryamba
Force is a vector quantity
so pulling from opposite side will be negative
so
750+(-500)= 250N
C is the right answer
becauseause the man on the right applies greater force.

What is the benefit of developing the atomic mass unit as a standard unit of mass?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The atomic mass unit is 1/12 of an atom of carbon 12, and is a very small amount to represent in kilograms:

1m_{u}=1.66054x10^{-27}kg

m_{u} is atomic mass unit.

This is why the benefits of the atomic mass unit is that it makes the representation of atomic masses easier in terms of the simplicity of the numbers that are used to represent the masses. Also using the atomic mass unit it is easier to compare the masses of different atoms, These numbers would be very small and would require negative powers of 10 to represent them, so it is more convenient to use the atomic mass unit.

The ocean’s tides are not only affected by the shape of the coastlines, or slope of the ocean floor, but also by the gravitation
dexar [7]

Answer:

a) According to Newton's law of gravitation, as the distance between the Moon and the Earth decreases, the gravitational attraction increases and vice versa

The gravitational force of the Moon on the Earth causes the Earth to be slightly bulged on the side directly facing the Moon

The gravitational force also pulls the water bodies on the Earth's surface towards the Moon in the same manner and the effect is more pronounced due to the ability of the liquid water to assume a shape based on the magnitude of the gravitational field attracting it

Therefore, the region where the Moon is closest to the Earth we have a high tide as the water level rises and the region which is perpendicular to where the Moon is located has a  low tide

b) The two special types of tides are

1) The neap tide

2) The spring tide

Neap tide

Neap tide occurs when the Sun and Moon are 90° apart from each other when they are viewed by an observer from Earth

The gravitational pull of the Sun cancels (partially) the effect of the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in minimum tidal range

Spring Tide

Spring tide occurs when the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are simultaneously inline, such that the Sun reinforces the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in a maximum tidal range

They don't have an Astronomy Section and I believe that this falls the closest to Physics
Ksenya-84 [330]
The only thing we know of so far that can shift light to longer wavelengths is the "Doppler" effect. If the source and the observer are moving apart, then the observer sees wavelengths that are longer than they should be. If the source and the observer are moving toward each other, then the observer sees wavelengths that are shorter than they should be. It works for ANY wave ... sound, light, water etc. The trick is to know what the wavelength SHOULD be. If you know that, then you can tell whether you and the source are moving together or apart, and you can even tell how fast. If the lines in a star"s spectrum are at wavelengths that are too long, then from everything we know right now, the star and Earth are moving apart.
