Answer:
The equivalent stiffness of the string is 8.93 N/m.
Explanation:
Given that,
Spring stiffness is





According to figure,
and
is in series
We need to calculate the equivalent
Using formula for series


Put the value into the formula


k and
is in parallel
We need to calculate the k'
Using formula for parallel

Put the value into the formula


,k' and
is in series
We need to calculate the equivalent stiffness of the spring
Using formula for series

Put the value into the formula


Hence, The equivalent stiffness of the string is 8.93 N/m.

In empty space probably means, there is no force on the ball.
(This assumption is not quite correct since there is still the force of gravity between the ball and the astronaut, but this force is very very small and can be neglected.)
Assuming there is no force on the ball, Newtown's 1st law says: When viewed in an internal frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.
This means:
If there is no force on the ball, there will be no acceleration on the ball either.
If the acceleration is zero, the velocity of the ball never changes.
<span>The correct answer is 45 degrees. 360 degrees is 24 hours, because it takes a whole day for the earth to turn in one whole circle. So, to find how many degrees the stars seem to move per hour, simply divide the total number of degrees by the total number of hours in a day: 360/24 = 15. Since the question is asking how much the stars appear to move in 3 hours, now multiply the number of degrees per hour times 3: 15 x 3 = 45. </span>
