Answer:

C. newtons/meter

Explanation:

The formula for <em>Hooke's law</em> is:

F = k * x

Where F is the force required to compress or extend a spring, x is the distance, and k is the spring constant.

We know that the unit for force is Newton (N), and that the unit for distance x is meter (m). With that information we can find out the units for k, so let's write the equation using values of 1 for each term:

1 N = k * 1 m

k = 1 N/m

So the units for k are newtons/meter

Imagine that two balls, a basketball and a much larger exercise ball, are dropped from a parking garage. If both the mass and ra
pashok25 [27]

Here if we assume that there is no air friction on both balls then we can say

F = mg

now the acceleration is given as

F = ma = mg

a = g

so here both the balls will have same acceleration irrespective of size and mass

so we can say that to find out the time of fall of ball we can use

y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

t = \sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}

now from above equation we can say that time taken to hit the ground will be same for both balls and it is irrespective of its mass and size

Un ladrillo se le imparte una velocidad inicial de 6m/s en su trayectoria hacia abajo. ¿cual sera su velocidad final despues de
marshall27 [118]
Saludos!

Respuesta:

28,64 m/s.

Explicación:

Datos: 

Altura o distancia recorrida: 40 m
Vo: 6 m/s 
Aceleración de la gravedad: 9,81 m/s²

El ejercicio puede ser resuelto facilmente utilizando la siguiente formula, sin embargo es posible realizarlo utilizando formulas diferentes. 

Entonces tenemos que:

Vf ^{2} -Vo ^{2} =2 x g x h

Es importante saber que al estar lanzando el ladrillo hacia abajo, el sentido del movimiento sigue el sentido de la gravedad, es decir es necesario que tomes el valor de la gravedad como positivo (+) y no negativo (-) como normalmente se usa.

Sustituyendo tenemos que:

Vf x^{2} =(6 m/s) ^{2} +(2)x(9,81 m/s ^{2})x(40m) \\ Vf ^{2} =820,8 m^{2} /s ^{2}  \\  \sqrt{Vf ^{2} } = \sqrt{820,8m^{2}/s ^{2}  }  \\ Vf=28,64 m/s

Que tengas un buen día!

Define moment of momentum. at which condition is it's magnitude zero?​
ololo11 [35]

Let's start with the concept of momentum. What is it? Linear momentum in physics is mathematically written as a product of mass and velocity of an object. Now let us suppose a body of mass m is moving in an inertial frame of reference with velocity v. Consider the fact that no external force is acting on the system. The momentum of this body is given by mv, where m is the mass and v is its velocity. In case of simple real world problems not delving into the realms of relativity, mass is a conserved quantity and it cannot be zero. Hence the velocity of the body must be zero and hence the momentum.

However, photons are considered to have a rest mass zero.

However note the point carefully "rest mass". A body in motion cannot have mass to be zero.

Why is Pluto now called a dwarf planet
zvonat [6]
Before Pluto was discovered, it was predicted. Astronomers had observed that massive objects can affect the orbits of its neighbors, and, after seeing deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, assumed something substantial existed beyond their orbits.
When Pluto was spotted, it was thought to be the predicted object and was identified as a ninth planet.
A few decades later, astronomers started discovering more and more objects around other stars and didn’t know whether to call them planets or not. There appeared to be a need to define what a planet means, and that led to what some people consider Pluto’s demotion to a dwarf planet.
The International Astronomical Union decided that full-sized planets must orbit the sun, have a round shape, and have cleared their orbits of other objects. Pluto fulfills the first two criteria, but not the third.
It still goes around the sun, it’s round enough, it’s got moons, and behaves like a planet, but the idea is that Pluto did not form the same way as the rest of the planets. Pluto’s orbit is both eccentric and inclined more than the rest of the planets by about 17 degrees. That’s suggests something is different about this object.
This debate about whether to call it a planet or not is silly, because it doesn’t matter to Pluto what you call it. It is an interesting object, goes around the sun, and shows geology and an atmosphere.
There’s a tendency to define objects based on what they are now, but nothing is constant in the universe. There are some issues with the nomenclature, and a definition today may not apply to the same object tomorrow.
