A single mass m1 = 3.6 kg hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator. The spring is extended x = 15.0 cm from its unstretched

length. . . Now, three masses m1 = 3.6 kg, m2 = 10.8 kg and m3 = 7.2 kg hang from three identical springs in a motionless elevator. The springs all have the same spring constant that you just calculated above. . . What is the distance the lower spring is stretched from its equilibrium length?

The distance the lower spring is stretched from its equilibrium length is 45cm because the weight is 3x as much as the reference spring and the spring constant is the same. 

<span>2) The force the bottom spring exerts on the mass is its weight (=mg) PLUS 10.8kg x 3.8m/s^2 = 133N </span>

<span>3) The distance the upper spring is extended from its unstretched length when not accelerated is 15cm </span>

<span>4) Rank the distances the springs are extended from their unstretched lengths: </span>
<span>c) x1 < x2 < x3 </span>

<span>5) The distance the MIDDLE spring is extended from its unstretched length when not accelerated is 45cm </span>

<span>6) Finally, the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -3.4 m/s and also accelerating downward at an acceleration of a = -2.1 m/s2. </span>
<span>a)speeding up </span>
<span>because the v and a are in the same direction</span>

Compare and contrast the inner and outer planets. (Must be in complete sentences) (At least 5 sentences).
Karolina [17]

To contrast inner and outer planets we will start with the climate of the planets and then move on to there lighting. To start the planets closet to the sun, mercury, venus, earth and mars, are all hot compared to the further one, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune. This distance also makes the farthe away planets darker than the ones closer. Now to compare all the planets vary from either gass or solid, rocky or icy. All of them spin around the sun and all have objects spinning around them, moons.

Ill mark as brainliest.
rewona [7]

Answer: 75V

Explanation:

Given that,

total resistance (Rtotal) = 150Ω

Current (I) = 0.5A

Change in electric potential (V) = ?

Recall that potential difference is the product of amount of current and the amount of resistance in the circuit. And its unit is volts.

So, apply the formula V = I x Rtotal

V = 0.5A x 150Ω

V = 75V

Thus, the change in electric potential across the circuit is 75 Volts
