Answer:

m=1.53kg    

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the Hooke's Law:

F=k*\Delta x     (1)

F is the Force needed to expand or compress the spring by a distance Δx.

The spring stretches 0.2cm per Newton, in other words:

1N=k*0.2cm ⇒ k=1N/0.2cm=5N/cm  

The force applied is due to the weight

F=mg

We replace in (1):

mg=k*\Delta x  

We solve the equation for m:

m=k*\Delta x/g=5*3/9.81=1.53kg

Jon's bathtub is rectangular and its base is 18 ft2. (a) How fast is the water level rising if Jon is filling the tub at a rate
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The water level in the bath tub is rising at a rate of 0.0111 ft/s

Explanation:

Volume of the bath tub = (Area of base) × (height)

Area of base = 18 ft² (constant)

Height = h (variable)

V = 18h

(dV/dt) = 18 (dh/dt)

If (dV/dt) = 0.2 ft³/s

0.2 = 18 (dh/dt)

(dh/dt) = (0.2/18)

(dh/dt) = 0.0111 ft/s

Hope this Helps!!!

Explain how do you determine the intensity of earthquake​
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes.

Check all that are true about waterfalls
Lerok [7]
Waterfalls are created when a river flows following a descending rapid slope. The waterfall, then, flows from the source (where it starts) to the mouth (where it ends).
Waterfalls are created when the erosion of the rocks at the bottom of the slope is more powerful than the erosion of the rocks on the top.
After many years the water is able to erode the rocks on the top as well, and the waterfall slowly disappears.

Therefore the options that apply are:
b) waterfalls move towards their mouth;
c) the top or cap rock is resistant to erosion;
<span>f) waterfalls indicate a youthful river </span>

In a two planet system, does an increase in planet velocity result in a decreased period?
olganol [36]
From the formula,
                                 v=2πr/T
V(velocity is inversely related to T),so when v increases then time period will decrease.
Option a is correct.

After the box comes to rest at position x₁, a person starts pushing the box, giving it a speed v₁. When the box reaches position
Vesna [10]

Answer:

W_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2

Explanation:

As we know that box is initially at rest

So we will have

v_i = 0

now as it will be displaced from initial position to final position then final speed of the box is reached to

v_f = v_1

now we know by work energy theorem that work done by all the forces on the box will be equal to the change in kinetic energy

So here we will have

W_p = \frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2 - v_i^2)

W_p = \frac{1}{2}m(v_1^2 - 0)

W_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2
