Answer:

The correct answer is "It will be stiffer than the other".

Explanation:

If two springs have different spring constants, then the one with the larger one will be stiffer than the other. The spring constant is the amount of force required to move the spring a fixed amount of distance. The formula for the constant is given by the load divided by the distance traveled. If the load is the same, the one who travels the shortest distance will have a higher constant and be stiffer than the other.

The spring constant determines how far the spring will stretch for a given applied force: F=kx→k=Fx. If we place the same mass on the two springs, which means we have placed the same force on them, the one that stretches least has the largest spring constant.
Hope this helps!

Which statement best describes the compressibility of a gas?

maria [59]

The answer to the question stated above is:
 Gas is easily compressible because the molecules of a gas are much further apart than those of a solid.

characteristic properties of gases:

(1) they are easy to compress,

(2) they expand to fill their containers, and

(3) they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form.

Is copper penny react reaction with Nitric acid a Chemical or physical Change?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The reaction that occurs is a redox reaction. The Copper metal (Cu 0)on the copper pennies is oxidized in concentrated nitric acid to produce Cu2+ ions. Copper is easily oxidized to Cu2+, which is blue in aqueous solutions (water) so you should see the solution turn blue as the copper penny reacts.

Have a nice day ;)(^-^)

Brian is testing to see how much water plants need. Why is it important that Brian includes a control group? A) To observe wheth

bija089 [108]

Answer: B or C

Explanation: The question does not include the variable or steps Brian is using so either one could be correct. It has to be the one that he is controlling though. This is because a control group is used to rule out any alternate explanations. Therefore the answer should be the one that he is trying to test out.

What is the difference between alectronegativity and ioniztion energy

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Electronegativity is the tendency of the element to attract shared pair of electron towards itself in bonded condition.
Ionisation enrgy is the amount of energy required to remove the outermost electron from neutral gaseous atom
