Answer:

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, F=-kx

Substistuting the values, 21N= -k 13cm you can ignore the minus sign, since it is there to state that the force is always in the opposite direction of the deformation, and has no influence otherwise, and your constant is 1,6154 *10-2 N/m

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 161.5 N-m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force on spring, F = 21 N

The spring is stretched 13 cm past its natural length i.e. x = 0.13 m

The Hooke's law gives the relationship between the force and the compression in the spring. Mathematically, it can be written as :

F=-kx

k is spring constant

-ve sign shows the direction of force is opposite

So, k=\dfrac{F}{x}

k=\dfrac{21\ N}{0.13\ m}

k = 161.5 N-m

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is an analogy that describes the process of electron carriers?
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>An analogy is a comparison between one thing and another, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.</span><span>

An analogy of an electron carrier molecule and high energy electrons can be just like moving a potato. </span>A laundry basket filled with warm laundry can also be compared to an electron carrier. In this analogy, the laundry basket represents the electron carrier and the warm laundry represents the high energy electrons. There is another analogy that describes the process of electron carriers is a laundry basket filled with warm laundry can also be compared to an electron carrier. In this analogy, the laundry basket represents the electron carrier and the warm laundry represents the high energy electrons.

What is the acceleration of a proton moving with a speed of 6.5 m/s at right angles to a magnetic field of 1.5 T?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the proton, u =  6.5 m/s

magnetic field strength, B = 1.5 T

The force of the proton is given by;

F = ma = qvB(sin90°)

ma = qvB

where;

m is mass of the proton, = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

charge of the proton, q = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The acceleration of the proton is given by;

a = \frac{qvB}{m}\\\\a = \frac{(1.602*10^{-19})(6.5)(1.5)}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a = 9.353*10^8 \ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²
