In the first scenario, upon reaching equilibrium
       mg = kx
      135 = k(0.21) [Converted x in SI units]
          k = 135/(0.21)

Similarly, in the second scenario, upon reaching equilibrium
       mg = kx
       mg = [(135)(.449)]/(0.21)
       mg = weight of the electronic equipment = 289 N(approx)

Answer:

F= 288.7 N

Explanation:

Hooks Law

"states that the strain/deformation of an elastic object or material is proportional to the stress applied to it."

From Hooke's Law we can determine the spring constant  

F = k*x  

so

k = F/x  

k=  135N/.21m

k= 643 N/m

So  if a fish stretches the spring 0.449m  then it would weigh  

F =k*x

F= 643N/m*0.449m

F= 288.707 N

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one-third the acceleration due to gravity on Earth’s surface.
aksik [14]

Answer:

one-third of its weight on Earth's surface

Explanation:

Weight of an object is = W = m*g

Gravity on Earth = g₁ = 9.8 m/s

Gravity on Mars = g₂ = \frac{1}{3} g₁

Weight of probe on earth = w₁ = m * g₁

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₂ -------- ( 1 )

As g₂ = g₁/3 --------- ( 2 )

Put equation (2) in equation (1)

so

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₁ /3

Weight of probe on Mars = \frac{1}{3}  m * g₁ = \frac{1}{3} w₁

⇒Weight of probe on Mars =\frac{1}{3} Weight of probe on earth

Which characteristic do arid and polar regions share?
Setler79 [48]

few plants

Explanation:

Arid and polar regions of the world typically have few plant species. The plant species in such environment are called xerophytes. They are plants that can live in an area with little to no precipitation.

  • Arid regions of the world are about the most driest in the world with very high diurnal temperature range.
  • Polar regions are frigid and cold all year round.
  • Both arid and polar regions have little to no precipitation all year round.
  • They have poor soils to support plant growth.
  • This is why they both have few plants.

monitta

Answer:

x = 4 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium relationship, where we place zero at the turning point and counterclockwise rotations we will consider positive

as it indicates that the bar is in equilibrium, its center of mass coincides with the turning point, so the distance is zero and does not create torque on the system

        ∑τ  = 0

        W 3 - w x = 0

        x = 3W / w

        x = 3 Mg / mg

        x = 3 M / m

let's calculate

       x = 3 60/45

       x = 4 m

. Common household appliances are rated at 110 V, but power companies deliver voltage in the kilovolt range and then step the vo
natulia [17]

Answer: High voltage transmission minimizes energy losses during electricity transmission.

Explanation:

When electricity is to be transmitted over a long distance, high voltage transmission is preferred to minimize energy losses due to heat.

The higher the transmission voltage, the lower the current and the lesser the resitance in the wire and the lesser the energy lost due to heat during transmission.

High voltage transmission in kilowatts enables light weight cables to be used for long distance electricity transmission.

This explains why, even though only 110 V may be required at home by some appliances, but electricity is transmitted in kilovolts and often require a stepdown transformer
