<h2>
Spring constant is 14.72 N/m</h2>
Explanation:
We have for a spring
Force = Spring constant x Elongation
F = kx
Here force is weight of mass
F = W = mg = 0.54 x 9.81 = 5.3 N
Elongation, x = 36 cm = 0.36 m
Substituting
F = kx
5.3 = k x 0.36
k = 14.72 N/m
Spring constant is 14.72 N/m
The statement that is the most true regarding the states of matter is the first statement.
A. Most matter on Earth exists as a solid, liquid, or gas.
This is correct since most of the matter on Earth exists in those 3 states, meanwhile plasma is not a state that most of matter on earth is found in since it is mostly associated to stars and the external galactic regions.
Therefore, B is incorrect.
C is false, since almost of all of the matter on earth can transform and change through each of the 3 states of matter, solid, liquid, and gas.
D is false since most of the matter in universe is actually made out of plasma instead of a liquid. In fact, over 99% of the known universe's matter is said to consist of plasma.
Answer:
Kinetic energy
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is a function of velocity. Since the rider is moving at a certain speed, he's demonstrating kinetic energy. It can't be potential energy because potential energy encompass mgh
