If the springs are connected together from end to end, they are arranged in series. For springs in series, the forces are additive. 

Spring 1: F1 = k1(Δx1)
Spring 2: F2 = k2(Δx2)
Spring 1: F3 = k3(Δx3)

Total Force = k1(Δx1)+k2(Δx2)+k3(Δx3)
Total Force = (k1+k2+k3)(Δx,total)

The spring constants are added together and multiplied with the total length of elongation to find the total force acting on it.

How can a gas become a good conductor? Simpler answers would be helpful.
Alex_Xolod [135]
A gas has to become ionisied in order to become a conductor. It must have a chain reaction in which atoms in it became unstable, in which they loose stabile electronic configuration. In order for a gas to become a conductor, it must have free particles, and it can happen only in ionisied gas.

A spring has been compressed inside a toy what kind of energy is this
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Elastic Potential Energy

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy (“Spring Energy”) is the form of energy an object has when it is stretched, compressed, twisted, bent, or otherwise has its shape changed as long as the object resists and will try to return to its original state.

As shown in the diagram, two forces act on an object. The forces have magnitudes F1 = 5.7 N and F2 = 1.9 N. What third force wil
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Second option 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from  

F1->

Explanation:

Observe the attached image. We must calculate the sum of all the forces in the direction x and in the direction y and equal the sum of the forces to 0.

For the address x we have:

-F_3sin(b) + F_1 = 0

For the address and we have:

-F_3cos(b) + F_2 = 0

The forces F_1 and F_2 are known

F_1 = 5.7\ N\\\\F_2 = 1.9\ N

We have 2 unknowns (F_3 and b) and we have 2 equations.

Now we clear F_3 from the second equation and introduce it into the first equation.

F_3 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}

Then

-\frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)+F_1 = 0\\\\F_1 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)\\\\F_1 = F_2tan(b)\\\\tan(b) = \frac{F_1}{F_2}\\\\tan(b) = \frac{5.7}{1.9}\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{5.7}{1.9}) = b\\\\b= 72\°\\\\m = b +90\\\\\m= 162\°

Then we find the value of F_3

F_3 = \frac{F_1}{sin(b)}\\\\F_3 =\frac{5.7}{sin(72\°)}\\\\F_3 = 6.01 N

Finally the answer is 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from  

F1->

How much metabolic energy is required for a 68kg person to run at a speed of 15km/hr for 15min ?
irga5000 [103]
<span>What I have here is exactly the same problem, however, with the time changed to 19 mins:

metabolic energy = metabolic power*time = 1.150*19*60 = 1.311 kJ..corresponding to 1.311/4.186 = 313,2 Cal or kcal 

If we reasonably assume a metabolic eff.cy of 20%, it means we need to assume food for 1500 Cal approx.

Just plug the value t=15min to the equation and you will surely get the correct answer.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!
