Answer:

Centimeter (cm)

Explanation:

A student performs an experiment and must measure the lengths of four different objects: a textbook, a pencil, a cup, and a piece of bread.

There are so many units of measuring length of an object like centimeter, millimeter, kilometer etc. Some of units are used to measure very large distances (i.e. the distance between sun and earth etc ) are light year, astronomical units etc.

In this case, a textbook, a pencil, a cup, and a piece of bread are small object. The most appropriate unit of measurement for her to use is centimeter or cm.

In part one of this experiment, a 0.20 kg mass hangs vertically from a spring and an elongation below the support point of the s
statuscvo [17]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Hooke's Law as well as Newton's second law.

By definition we know that Newton's second law is defined as

F = ma

m = mass

a = Acceleration

By Hooke's law force is described as

F = k\Delta x

Here,

k = Gravitational constant

x = Displacement

To develop this problem it is necessary to consider the two cases that give us concerning the elongation of the body.

The force to keep in balance must be preserved, so the force by the weight stipulated in Newton's second law and the force by Hooke's elongation are equal, so

k\Delta x = mg

So for state 1 we have that with 0.2kg there is an elongation of 9.5cm

k (9.5-l)=0.2*g

k (9.5-l)=0.2*9.8

For state 2 we have that with 1Kg there is an elongation of 12cm

k (12-l)= 1*g

k (12-l)= 1*9.8

We have two equations with two unknowns therefore solving for both,

k = 3.136N/cm

l = 8.877cm

In this way converting the units,

k = 3.136N/cm(\frac{100cm}{1m})

k = 313.6N/m

Therefore the spring constant is 313.6N/m

What is the difference between a tropical storm and a hurricane
vazorg [7]

Answer and Explanation:

Tropical storm:

The point at which the tropical depression intensifies and can sustain a maximum wind speed in the range of 39-73 mph, it is termed as a tropical storm.

Hurricane:

A hurricane is that type of tropical cyclone which includes with it high speed winds and thunderstorms and the intensity of the sustained wind speed is 74 mph or more than this.

Hurricanes are the most intense tropical cyclones.

The only difference between the tropical storm and hurricane is in the intensity.

In an economy, the demand for labor is given by the equation W = 15 - (1/200) L and the supply of labor is given by the equation
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

the equilibrium wage rate is 10  and the equilibrium quantity of labor is 1000 workers

Explanation:

The equilibrium wage rate and the equilibrium quantity of labor are found as the point where the equation of demand intercepts the equation of supply, so the equilibrium quantity of labor is:

W_{Demand} = W_{Supply}

15 - (1/200) L = 5 + (1/200) L

15 - 5 =  (1/200) L +  (1/200) L

10 = (2/200) L

(10*200)/2 = L

1000 = L

Then, the equilibrium wage rate is calculated using either the equation of demand for labor or the equation of supply of labor. If we use the equation of demand for labor, we get:

W = 15 - (1/200) L

W = 15 - (1/200) 1000

W = 10

Finally, the equilibrium wage rate is 10 and the equilibrium quantity of labor is 1000 workers
