a child's toy consists of a piece of plastic attached to a spring. the spring is compressed against the floor a distance of 2.0

cm and released. if the spring constant is 85 N/m, what is the magnitude of the spring force acting on the toy at the moment it is released.

Answer:

1.7N

Explanation:

Force = kx

Where x = spring compression and

K = spring constant

K =85N/m

x = 2.0cm / 100

= 0.02m

Force = 85 x 0.02

= 1.7N

A 2300 kg sailboat is moving west at 5.5 m/s when an eastward wind
pogonyaev

The boat is initially at equilibrium since it seems to start off at a constant speed of 5.5 m/s. If the wind applies a force of 950 N, then it is applying an acceleration <em>a</em> of

950 N = (2300 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = (950 N) / (2300 kg)

<em>a</em> ≈ 0.413 m/s²

Take east to be positive and west to be negative, so that the boat has an initial velocity of -5.5 m/s. Then after 11.5 s, the boat will attain a velocity of

<em>v</em> = -5.5 m/s + <em>a</em> (11.5 s)

<em>v</em> = -0.75 m/s

which means the wind slows the boat down to a velocity of 0.75 m/s westward.

Which best describes why Keplers observation of planetary motion is a law instead of a theory
svet-max [94.6K]

Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks. Take your pencil and pull the string until the pencil and two tacks make a triangle (see diagram at the right). Then begin to trace out a path with the pencil, keeping the string wrapped tightly around the tacks. The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constant. The two other points (represented here by the tack locations) are known as the foci of the ellipse. The closer together that these points are, the more closely that the ellipse resembles the shape of a circle. In fact, a circle is the special case of an ellipse in which the two foci are at the same location. Kepler's first law is rather simple - all planets orbit the sun in a path that resembles an ellipse, with the sun being located at one of the foci of that ellipse.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Why do we see sedimentary rocks more often than igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

because they are the rocks that line the surface of our planet ​

Explanation:

We see sedimentary rocks more than other rock types because they are the rocks that line the surface of our planet.

Sedimentary rocks typically form the earth cover due to the way they are formed.

  • These rocks are produced by the weathering, transportation and deposition of sediments within a basin.
  • In this basin, the sediment is lithified and converted to sedimentary rocks.
  • These processes are driven by the external heat engine
  • Therefore, it is confined to the surface.
  • Igneous and metamorphic rock's processes are confined to the subsurface.
