Answer:

Explanation:

Spring has a tendency to store energy in them and deform its shape when force is applied on it. Once the applied force is removed it regains its original shape and size.

It is in helical shape and is used in mattress to give structure and support. Spring have elastic nature and follows spring forces, F = k * x

where is the applied force, k is the spring constant and x is the amount of extension.

When a heavier person sits on a mattress, more weight is applied on springs and they form coils, as weight is removed they regains its shape again.

What is the least amount of time required for a given point on this wave to move from y = 0 to y = 12cm?
ale4655 [162]

Time t = ?

<span>When wave is moving from y = 0  to y =12 cm</span>

By using the formula,

y = 15cos [(π/12) t)] = 0,

cos [(π/12) t)] = 0 = cos (π/2), so, 

(π/12)t = π/2,

t = (π/2) (12/π) 

t = 12/2

<span>t = 6 sec</span>

<span>so 6 sec is the least amount of time required</span>

How much light a given colored object reflects is referred to as saturation. is this statement true or false?
Tanya [424]

The brightness and intensity of a color are defined by its saturation. To lower the saturation of a pigment hue, both white and black (grey) are added to the color.

What does saturation mean in color?

  • The quantity of white light blended with a colour is referred to as saturation.
  • Colors with high saturation, such as the circle on the left, contain little or no white light. The quantity of shade blended with the color determines the level of brightness.
  • The wavelengths of light that an item reflects determine its 'color.' This is governed by the arrangement of electrons in the atoms of that substance, which will absorb and re-emit photons of different energy in accordance with intricate quantum principles.
