Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a system which uses a network of satellites to construct maps. So, that it would be easy to trace location of a person, or to reach over a certain place.

It helps an individual by showing the route of destination wherever he/she wants to reach along with the total time to reach over the place.

Thus, GPS can determine the elevation of a given area and also it can determine latitude and longitude of a given area. As each GPS satellite broadcasts with a high power, narrow bandwidth, down link signal which can be received by our small hand held receiver antenna called mobile phone.

A GPS cannot determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, GPS can determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

Problem: Hooke's law states that the force on a spring varies directly with the distance that it is stretched. If a spring has a

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Restoring force of the spring is 50 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant of the spring, k = 100 N/m

Stretching in the spring, x = 0.5 m

We need to find the restoring force of the spring. It can be calculated using Hooke's law as "the force on a spring varies directly with the distance that it is stretched".

$F=kx$

$F=100\ N/m\times 0.5\ m$

F = 50 N

So, the restoring force of the spring is 50 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of the following examples illustrates static friction?

vivado [14]

Answer:

A box sits stationary on a ramp

Explanation:

Static friction is a force which keeps an object at rest as it is in the case of the box. It has to be overcome for the object to be set into motion.

Static force of friction is calculated as follows:

F= μη

F is static force of friction.

μ is the coefficient of static friction.

η is the normal force.

Ngan has a weight of 314.5 N on Mars and a weight 833.0 N on Earth. What is Ngan's mass on Earth?

mr_godi [17]

Ngan's mass on earth is 85kg.

Ngan has a weight on Mars = 14.5 N

Ngan’s weight on Earth = 833.0 N

Ngan’s mass on Earth = ?

Fg,earth = mg(earth)

M = Fg,earth / g(earth)

M = 833.0 N / 9.8 m/s2

M = 85 kg
