A typical mattress has a network of springs that provide support. If you sit on a mattress, the springs compress. A heavier pers

on compresses the springs more than a lighter person. Use the properties of springs and spring forces to explain why.

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.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

This question is very basic and easy. The answer to this question is:

Answer: If both batteries are connected we would get less amount of charge as compared to connected a single battery.

Reasoning:

If both batteries are connected in a manner of positive terminal to positive terminal and negative terminal to negative terminal then a capacitor is added to charge it from the batteries then, total electromotive force (emf) would decrease.

As a result, the capacitor added would get less amount of charge stored. But capacitor added will get more amount of charge stored when a single battery is connected.

When numbers are very small or very large, it is convenient to either express the value in scientific notation and/or by using a
Oxana [17]

Answer:

5 mg, 5\cdot 10^{-3}g

Explanation:

First of all, let's rewrite the mass in grams using scientific notation.

we have:

m = 0.005 g

To rewrite it in scientific notation, we must count by how many digits we have to move the dot on the right - in this case three. So in scientific notation is

m=5\cdot 10^{-3}g

If  we want to convert into milligrams, we must remind that

1 g = 1000 mg

So we can use the proportion

1 g : 1000 mg = 0.005 g : x

and we find

x=\frac{(1000 mg)(0.005 g)}{1 g}=5 mg

A wire of resistivity ρ must be replaced in a circuit by a wire of the same material but four times as long. If, however, the to
Elanso [62]

Answer:

E. two times the original diameter

Explanation:

Resistance of a wire is:

R = ρ L/A

where ρ is the resistivity of the material, L is the length, and A is the cross-sectional area.

For a round wire with diameter d:

R = ρ L / (¼ π d²)

The two wires must have the same resistance, so:

ρ₁ L₁ / (¼ π d₁²) = ρ₂ L₂ / (¼ π d₂²)

The wires are made of the same material, so ρ₁ = ρ₂:

L₁ / (¼ π d₁²) = L₂ / (¼ π d₂²)

The new length is four times the old, so 4 L₁ = L₂:

L₁ / (¼ π d₁²) = 4 L₁ / (¼ π d₂²)

1 / (¼ π d₁²) = 4 / (¼ π d₂²)

Solving:

1 / (d₁²) = 4 / (d₂²)

(d₂²) / (d₁²) = 4

(d₂ / d₁)² = 4

d₂ / d₁ = 2

So the new wire must have a diameter twice as large as the old wire.

With thermodynamics, one cannot determine ________. Question 6 options: the speed of a reaction the direction of a spontaneous r
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A.  the speed of a reaction

Explanation:

The thermodynamic aspect of a reaction will show you the energy needed for a reaction to occur. If the energy difference(ΔG)  is positive, which means the reaction is absorbing energy and it called endothermically. The opposite will be an exothermic reaction that will release energy, which means it doesn't need energy and the energy difference (ΔG) will be negative.  

Thermodynamic can be used to determine a few things of a reaction, like the direction of the reaction, the extent, or temperature in which the reaction is spontaneous. But thermodynamic not used to find the speed of a reaction.
