Answer:

<h2>5,142.86</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy possessed by the block when sliding will be equal to the energy needed to compress the string.

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv² and energy stored in the spring = 1/2 ke²

m = mass of the block (in kg) = 2.8 kg

v = speed of the block (in m/s) = 2.4 m/s

k = force constant of the spring

e = extension (in metres) = 0.056m

Since KE = energy stored in the spring

1/2 mv² = 1/2 ke²

mv² = ke²

2.8(2.4)²  = k(0.056)²

16.128 = 0.003136k

k = 16.128/0.003136

k =  5,142.86

The force constant of the spring is 5,236.36

Tell me about Orion nebula
RSB [31]
Is the most intensely studied celestial feature. It has also help revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. It is also the closest large star-forming region to Earth. The Orion Nebula is an enormous cloud of gas and dust, is located in our galaxy (Milky Way).

Small birds can migrate over long distances without feeding, storing energy mostly as fat rather than carbohydrate. (Figure 1) F
Katen [24]

Answer: 3.1107grams of fat.

Explanation:The speed to cover 800 km in 20 hours will be 40km/hr, Because

Speed =Distance/Time.

This is equal to 72,000 seconds. At a power consumption of 1.7 W, the bird will consume (1.7 X 72,000) =122,400 J of energy.

A gram of fat contains about (9.4 Calories X 4186 J/Calorie) ,=39348 joules of energy, the bird will need (122,400 / 39,348) = 3.1107 grams of fat.

in order to generate electricity, nuclear powerplants take advantage of this part of the electromagnetic spectrum
antiseptic1488 [7]
Bit of an odd question. Power Plants are known to use water-powered turbines to generate electricity, but can also make use of nuclear fission.
