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>

What can we conclude from the attractive nature of the force between a positively charged rod and an object?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

E; The object is negatively charged

Explanation:

Here, we want to state the conclusion that can be drawn from a positively charged rod being attracted to an object.

Generally as we know, oppositely charged materials attract while the ones with same charges repel each other.

Thus, in this case, for the rod to attract the object, there must have been an opposite charge of negativity on the object

So we conclude that the reason why the rod attracted the object was because of the presence of opposing charges on both of them. And since the rod has taken the positive charge, it is only correct to state that the object is negatively charged

The gage pressure of an automobile tire is measured to be 210kPa before a trip and 220kPa after the trip at a location where the
Katarina [22]

Answer:

T_{f} = 312.348\,K\,(39.198\,K)

Explanation:

Let assume that gas inside the automobile tire behaves as an ideal gas. Due to the absence of leakages, the number of moles remains constant during the trip. Air temperature can be found by using the following relation:

\frac{P_{o}}{T_{o}}=\frac{P_{f}}{T_{f}}

Final temperature is cleared with the expression:

T_{f} = \frac{P_{f}}{P_{o}}\cdot T_{o}

T_{f} = \frac{220\,kPa}{210\,kPa}\cdot (298.15\,K)

T_{f} = 312.348\,K\,(39.198\,K)
