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

A spherical shell has inner radius 1.5 m, outer radius 2.5 m, and mass 850 kg, distributed uniformly throughout the shell. What
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The magnitude of the gravitational force is 4.53 * 10 ^-7 N

Explanation:

Given that the magnitude of the gravitational force is F = GMm/r²

mass M = 850 kg

mass m = 2.0 kg

distance d = 1.0 m , r = 0.5 m

F = GMm/r²

Gravitational Constant G = 6.67 × 10^-11 Newtons kg-2 m2.

F = (6.67 × 10^-11 * 850 * 2)/0.5²

F = 0.00000045356 N

F = 4.53 * 10 ^-7 N

In order for a space shuttle to leave Earth, it must produce a great amount of thrust. Its rocket boosters create this thrusting
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Orbit

Explanation:

The term that describes motion of the shuttle around earth is called as<em> Orbit.</em>

The orbit is defined as a regular repeating path that object takes around another.

The shuttle circles around the earth at a constant distance from earth surface is because of earth gravity and forward motion of earth.
