A girl weighing 600 N steps on a bathroom scale that contains a stiff spring. In equilibrium, the spring is compressed 1.0 cm un
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The spring constant is 60,000 N

The total work done on it during the compression is 3 J

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the girl, W = 600 N

compression of the spring, x = 1 cm = 0.01 m

To determine the spring constant, we apply hook's law;

F = kx

where;

F is applied force or weight on the spring

k is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

k = F / x

k = 600 / 0.01

k = 60,000 N

The total work done on the spring = elastic potential energy of the spring, U;

U = ¹/₂kx²

U = ¹/₂(60000)(0.01)²

U = 3 J

Thus, the total work done on it during the compression is 3 J

Heavier elements require higher temperatures to fuse. After stars run out of hydrogen in their cores, they leave the main sequen
Kruka [31]

Answer:

A. Add mass to the Sun.

Explanation:

A. Add mass to the Sun.

Adding mass will make to take more time for the hydrogen to run out and hence, enough temperature will be developed to fuse helium atom into other heavier elements, and eventually get hot enough to fuse the helium in their cores into carbon.

The only hypothetical solution is that we need to add Mass to the Sun.

In what fundamental way did the work of Galileo differ from his predecessors who had thought about the sky?
kompoz [17]

Answer: The correct answer is:

Galileo used instruments and experiments to show him what nature was doing, instead of relying on pure logic

Explanation:

Galileo can be considered as one of the precursors of experimentation and the scientific method. A method that doesn't rely on "common sense" and rationalization and logic, but instead is fuelled by a disposition of skepticism and rather makes claims about reality based on experimentation and empirical data shows.

Galileo differed from his predecessors because he actually used and developed instruments and method to reliable measure and observe what nature was doing, instead of relying on pure logic.
