Answer:</h2>
0.126m
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
According to Hooke's law, the force (F) acting on a spring to cause an extension or compression (e) is given by;
F = k x e -------------------(i)
Where;
k = the spring's constant.
From the question, the force acting on the spring is the weight(W) of the mass. i.e
F = W -----------------------(ii)
<em>But;</em>
W = m x g;
where;
m = mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity [usually taken as 10m/s²]
<em>From equation (ii), it implies that;</em>
F = W = m x g
<em>Now substitute F = m x g into equation(i) as follows;</em>
F = k x e
m x g = k x e ------------------(iii)
<em>From the question;</em>
m = m1 = 3.5kg
k = 278N/m
<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;</em>
3.5 x 10 = 278 x e
35 = 278e
<em>Now solve for e;</em>
e = 35/278
e = 0.126m
Therefore, the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length (which is the same as the extension of the spring) is 0.126m
Answer:
Part a) 
Part b) 
Explanation:
Part a) what is its frequency, in rev/s
we have that
An old-fashioned LP record rotates at 33 1/3 RPM
so

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

Remember that

Convert rev/min to rev/sec

Simplify

Part b) what is it period, in seconds
we know that
The period is the reciprocal of the frequency
therefore
the frequency is

The answer is Decibels. <span />
I believe you forgot to add the choices. I will tell you some of the characteristics of mixtures and I hope you find one of them in the choices you have.
A mixture is a physical combination between two or more elements. No chemical reaction is involved in the formation of mixtures.
The components of the mixture can be separated using physical methods such as filtration, boiling and condensation.
Examples of mixtures include mixture of sugar and water or mixture of salt and sugar.
