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

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

I=1.48 A

Explanation:

Given that

B=3.1 x 10⁻5 T

b= 4.2 cm

l= 9.5 cm

The relationship for magnetic field and current given as

$B=\dfrac{2\mu _oI}{\pi}D$

Where

$D=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+b^2}}{lb}$

By putting the values

$D=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+b^2}}{lb}$

$D=\dfrac{\sqrt{0.042^2+0.095^2}}{0.042\times 0.095}$

D=26.03 m⁻¹

$B=\dfrac{2\mu _oI}{\pi}D$

$3.1\times 10^{-5}=\dfrac{2\times 4\times \pi \times 10^{-7} I}{\pi}\times 26.03$

$I=\dfrac{3.1\times 10^{-5}}{{2\times 4\times 10^{-7} }\times 26.03}$

I=1.48 A

Question 30

stellarik [79]

Answer: $0.69\°$

Explanation:

The angular diameter $\delta$ of a spherical object is given by the following formula:

$\delta=2 sin^{-1}(\frac{d}{2D})$

Where:

$d=16 m$ is the actual diameter

$D=1338 m$ is the distance to the spherical object

Hence:

$\delta=2 sin^{-1}(\frac{16 m}{2(1338 m)})$

$\delta=0.685\° \approx 0.69\°$ This is the angular diameter

The carbon atom with 12 protons and 12 electrons has a charge of:

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Isotopes are the elements having the same atomic number i.e same number of protons which in turn is equal to same number of electrons. Number of protons and electrons are equal as the atom is electrically neutral. So, the only option is A.

I hope it helps you !

The motion of a car on a position time graph is represented with a horizontal tine What does this indicate about the car's motio

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Position-Time graphs display the motion of a object by showing the changes of velocity with respect to time.

The motion of a car on a position-time graph that is represented with a horizontal line indicates that the car has stopped moving.

A straight line with a positive slope indicates that the car is moving at a constant velocity, and thus the slope is constant. On the other hand, a curve with a changing slope, shows that the velocity is changing.
