Answer:</h2>
0.126m
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
According to Hooke's law, the force (F) acting on a spring to cause an extension or compression (e) is given by;
F = k x e -------------------(i)
Where;
k = the spring's constant.
From the question, the force acting on the spring is the weight(W) of the mass. i.e
F = W -----------------------(ii)
<em>But;</em>
W = m x g;
where;
m = mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity [usually taken as 10m/s²]
<em>From equation (ii), it implies that;</em>
F = W = m x g
<em>Now substitute F = m x g into equation(i) as follows;</em>
F = k x e
m x g = k x e ------------------(iii)
<em>From the question;</em>
m = m1 = 3.5kg
k = 278N/m
<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;</em>
3.5 x 10 = 278 x e
35 = 278e
<em>Now solve for e;</em>
e = 35/278
e = 0.126m
Therefore, the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length (which is the same as the extension of the spring) is 0.126m
Answer: Heterogeneous mixture - the parts are not uniformly mixed.
A mixture contains components having distinct chemical properties. There are two types of mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous. In a homogeneous mixture there is uniform distribution of components. we cannot distinguish one portion of the mixture from another. for example salt mixed in water. In heterogeneous mixture, the components are not uniformly mixed. hence, we are able to distinguish different parts of a mixture, like the mixture of iron, sand and salt given in this question.
The correct answer is - a. was a sign of danger.
Once the people saw that the ocean waters are receding and were living vast space without water behind them, they knew that something big and very dangerous will happen. And in fact it did. The water that was sucked in in the place were there was a crack on the ocean floor, got shot back under big pressure and it had very big speed, as well as having waves that were destroying anything on their way.
