Well first you need to know the formula for the spring force. It’s -1/2k*d

K being the constant

D being the displacement

We can actually find the force on the spring by calculating the weight of the block. It would be mass multiplied by gravity, convert the grams to kilograms first tho.

600/1000 = 0.6kg

0.6kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 5.88N

Now plug everything into the equation, also convert the centimeters to meters:

1.2/100 = 0.012 meters

5.88 = -1/2k*(0.012)

5.88 = k*(0.006)

We could drop the negative sign because we really just want the magnitude of the spring constant.

K = 980N

Answer:

2.91 x 10¹² sec

Explanation:

d = distance of nearest star, Proxima Centauri  = 4.3 ly = 4.3 x 9.46 x 10¹⁵ m

v = speed of new horizon probe = 14 km/hr = 14000 m/s

t = time taken for the new horizon probe to reach nearest star, Proxima Centauri = ?

Using the equation

d = v t

Inserting the values given

4.3 x 9.46 x 10¹⁵ = (14000) t

t = 2.91 x 10¹² sec

What happens to light when it travels from air into water
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Water is more dense than air. When water goes through a denser thing, the light is "bent" more towards the "normal" which is a straight, vertical line.

If the radio waves transmitted by a radio station have a frequency of 76.5 mhz, what is the wavelength of the waves, in meters?
____ [38]
Given: Velocity of light    c = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Frequency f = 7.65 x 10⁷/s

Required: Wavelength λ = ?

Formula:  λ = c/f

λ = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s/7.65 x 10⁷/s

λ = 3.92 m
