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.

Lelu [443]
Surface air pressure is a consequence of the weight of the air acting on its surface. For example, if you are standing on Mars, the pressure around you is what you call the surface air pressure. Thus, that surface air pressure must be 0.007 atm.

If a light is moved twice (2x) as far from a surface, the area the light covers is ___ as big.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

twice

Explanation:

From magnification = height of image / height of object

Distance of image/ distance of object = magnification

If the distance and height of the object represents the initial light distance and the exposed surface respectively.

And similarly the distance and height of the image represents the final light distance and the exposed surface respectively.

Hence the new image exposure would be twice as large.

If we use the formula our point of investigation is Height of image,

H2= D2/D1× H1

H2 = 2D2/D1 × H1

H2 = 2H1
