Answer:

k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m

Explanation:

First we need to find the force applied by safe pn the spring:

F = Weight of Safe

F = mg

where,

F = Force Applied by the safe on the spring = ?

m = mass of safe = 800 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

F = (800 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 7840 N

Now, using Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

K = Spring Constant = ?

Δx = compression = 46 cm = 0.46 m

Therefore,

7840 N = k (0.46 m)

k = 7840 N/0.46 m

<u>k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m</u>

podryga [215]
We are given with the data that says the probability that a battery will last 10 hr or more is 0.8 and the probability <span>that it will last 15 hr or more is 0.11. In this case, the probability that the battery lasts at least 10 hours and even 15 hrs more is 0.11 / 0.8 or equal to 13.75 percent.</span>

A car is moving north on a freeway. If a bug is flying south on the freeway, is the momentum of the bug positive or negative?
faltersainse [42]

Negative

Because the car is moving up and the bug is moving down. but it also depends on the weather so choice between one of those two I think is Negative but I may be wrong.

When the sound from two sound waves goes up and down (loud, soft, loud, soft) it makes a distinctive sound pattern called beats.
djverab [1.8K]

The beats are actually two new sounds.

Their frequencies are (the sum of the original two frequencies) and (the difference of the original two frequencies).

The existence of the beats is the result of the difference in the frequencies of the original two sounds. <em> (b)</em>
