<u>Answer:</u>
2N/cm
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
According to the Hooke's Law, the force required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional distance you can stretch it, which is represented as:

where,
is the force which is stretching or compressing the spring,
is the spring constant; and
is the distance the spring is stretched.
Substituting the given values to find the elastic constant
to get:




Therefore, the elastic constant is 2 Newton/cm.
Answer:
The charge resides on the outer surface =
C
Explanation:
Surface area of cell 
Separation between two plate
Dielectric constant 
Potential difference 
The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor in free space is given by,

Where
permittivity of free space = 
The Capacitance of capacitor is increase by
times when it placed in dielectric medium.

And we know that, 
So charge on the outer surface is given by,



Answer:
The velocity of the freight car decreases.
Explanation:
This question is answered by the conservation of momentum principle.
When the freight car is moving at a certain speed, it has a constant momentum.
We will call this M1.
The equation for M1 will be:
M1 = Mass * Speed
Now when the coal is dumped into the freight car, the Mass increases.
Since conservation of momentum states that the momentum will remain the same. We have:
M1 = (Mass of freight + Mass of coal) * Speed
Since M1 is constant, if the mass increases, the speed had to decrease to keep the equation true.
So power is equal to work over time and work is force times distance, you do 5 times 3 and get 15 dividing by 2 gives us 7.5 W answer c
