Answer:

320 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, we deduce that

F=kx where F is applied force, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression of spring

Making k the subject of formula then

k=\frac {F}{x}

Conversion

1m equals to 100cm

Xm equals 25 cm

25/100=0.25 m

Substituting 80 N for F and 0.25m for x then

k=\frac {80}{0.25}=320N/m

Therefore, the spring constant is equal to 320 N/m

Calculate the potentia energy of a car with a mass of 3800kg that is on a hill 110 meters above sea level? USE 10 instead of 9.8
Arada [10]

Potential energy (PE ) = m g h

Where:

m = mass = 3800 kg

g = acceleration due gravity = 10 m/s^2

h = heigth = 110 meters

Replacing:

PE = 3800 * 10 * 110 = 4,180,000 J

When monochromatic light illuminates a grating with 7000 lines per centimeter, its second order maximum is at 62.4°. What is the
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

633nm

Explanation:

Given the following :

Number of lines per centimeter(N) = 7000

Angle θ = 62.4°

Order (n) = 2

If grating element = d

Wavelength (λ) = (d* SinΘ) / 2

If number of lines = 7000 per cm

Converting to metre :

100 cm = 1m

7000 lines per 1 cm

Number of lines per m:

7000 lines * 100 = 700,000 lines per meter

Recall :

d = reciprocal of N

d = 1 / 700,000

d = 0.00000142857

Substituting into (λ) = (d* SinΘ) / 2

λ = (0.00000142857 * Sin 62.4°) / 2

λ = 0.00000126600 / 2

λ = 0.000000633002

λ = 0.000000633

λ = 633 × 10^-9 m = 633nm

A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 51.0 ma passes near the heart. an electrician working with sweaty han
boyakko [2]

The fatal current is 51 mA = 0.051 Ampere.

The resistance is 2,050Ω .

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

            =  (0.051 Ampere) x (2,050 Ω)  =  104.6 volts .

==================

This is what the arithmetic says IF the information in the question
is correct.

I don't know how true this is, and I certainly don't plan to test it,
but I have read that a current as small as  15 mA  through the
heart can be fatal, not  51 mA .

If 15 mA can do it, and the sweaty electrician's resistance is
really 2,050 Ω, then the fatal voltage could be as little as  31 volts !

The voltage at the wall-outlets in your house is  120 volts in the USA !
THAT's why you don't want to stick paper clips or a screwdriver into
outlets, and why you want to cover unused outlets with plastic plugs
if there are babies crawling around.
