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

an apple in a tree has a gravitational potential energy of 175J and a mass of 0.36g . how high from the ground is the apple
Neko [114]
The equation for potential energy is denoted as; 

Pe = mgh,

where m = the mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = vertical height of the apple. We are given the units for everything but height, which is also what we are solving for. We can then algebraically rearrange our initial equation to solve for h;

h = (Pe)/(mg)

Plug in your given units, and solve!





Post-check:

h = Pe/mg

h = 175J/(0.36g)(-9.81m/s^2)

h = appr. 49.5 meters

Note: Potential energy is a vector quantity; the displacement of the apple will be a negative number, but the distance itself, a scalar quantity, will be the absolute value of that.

A 230.-mL sample of a 0.240 M solution is left on a hot plate overnight; the following morning, the solution is 1.75 M. What vol
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The volume of water evaporated is 199mL

Explanation:

Concentration is calculated with the following formula

C=\frac{n}{V}

where n is the number of moles of solute and V is the volume of the solution (in this case is the same as the solvent volume) in liters.

So we isolate the variable n to know the amount of moles, using the volume given in liters

230mL=0.23L

n=C*V=0.240 M*0.23L=0.055 mol

Now, we isolate the variable V to know the new volume with the new concentration given.

V=\frac{n}{C} =0.055mol/1.75M=0.031L=31mL

Finally, the volume of water evaporated is the difference between initial and final volume.

V_{ev}= V_{i} -V_{f} =230mL-31mL=199mL

The graph illustrates the activity level of three common digestive enzymes, across a range of pH values. Which enzyme is likely
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(A) Pepsin

Explanation:

From the graph it is clear that pepsin is the only enzyme which works in highly acidic condintion in the digestive system.

  • less than 7 the liquid is acidic
  • above 7 the liquid is basic
  • at 7 the liquid is neutral

It has an optimum pH of about 1.5 at which its activity level is 8.5 as shown in graph.
