Answer:

a = 64 ft / s²

Explanation:

The force in a spring is given by Hooke's law

          F = -k x

Let's use the initial data to calculate the spring constant

         k = F / x

Reduscate to the English system

          x = 3 in (1foot/12 in) =0.25 foot

         k = 0.3 / 0.25

         k = 1.2  lb / foot

Now we can use Newton's second law

        F = ma

        a = F / m

        a = -k x / m

        m = w / g

        m = 0.3 / 32 = 0.009375

         x= 6 in (1foot /12 in)= 0.5 foot

        a = - 1.2  0.5  / 0.009375

        a = 64 ft / s²

4. How does the type of medium affect a sound wave?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The type of medium affects a sound wave as sound travels with the help of the vibration in particles.

Explanation:

As different mediums have different amount and size of particles, for example, the speed of sound is faster through solid than liquid as solids have closely packed particles whereas liquids are loosely packed.

At what water temperature will additional heat energy need to be added before the temperature will change again?
Lostsunrise [7]
That would be 0 degrees Celsius aka the melting point of water.... If you look at the diagram I attached you notice that at 0 degrees Celsius it is flat, this is because much heat is needed at this point for water to rise to 1 degree... It is the same for the boiling point (100)<span />

How long can you keep string cheese in the fridge?
allsm [11]
Cheese attributes its sour taste because of its lactic acid content. However, this should not be an indication to whether the cheese is spoiling already. We can tell its expiry date through the manufacturing details of the product. The product should be good to consume before the manufacturing expiry date. Every package must include expiry date in order to inform the consumer about the range of its consumability attributes. In the case where molds are present on the cheese already, cheese on some parts may not be edible already. Molds are due to the oxidation of glucose through the action of specific bacteria.
