Answer:

0.1 N

Explanation:

Considering that Hooke's law, F=xk where k is the spring constant in N/m, x is extension in meters, F is spring force in N.

Converting the given extension from cm to m, we divide by 100 hence 5/100=0.05 m

Substituting 0.05 m for x and 2 N/m for k then the spring force will be

F=2*0.05=0.1 N

A 9V battery produces a 1.5A current in a piece of wire. What is the resistance of the wire?

MAVERICK [17]

Explanation:

Using Ohm's Law and a bit of substitution, we can use voltage divided by current to solve for resistance. Doing that, we'll get 6 Ohm.

Alex, parked by the side of an east-west road, is watching car P, which is moving in a westerly direction. Barbara, driving east

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

$v_{PB} = 130\ km/h$

Explanation:

Since, Alex is at rest. Therefore, the speed measured by him will be the absolute speed of car P. Therefore, taking easterly direction as positive:

$Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Car\ P = v_{P} = -78\ km/h$

And the absolute velocity of Barbara's Car is given as: $Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Barbara's\ Car = v_{B} = 52\ km/h$

Now, for the velocity of Car p with respect to the velocity of Barbara's Car can be given s follows:

$Velocity\ of\ Car\ P\ measured\ by\ Barbara = v_{PB} = v_{B}-v_{P}\\\\v_{PB} = 52\ km/h-(-78\ km/h)$

$v_{PB} = 130\ km/h$

A student has a thin copper beaker containing 100 g of a pure metal in the solid state. The metal is at 215°C, its exact melting

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The metal will melt but their will be no change in temperature.

Explanation:

The metal is at its melting temperature which means it is still in solid phase but have to cross the enthalpy of its condensation at this same temperature to convert into liquid phase.

<u>On supplying heat, the metal's temperature will not change as the heat will be required as enthalpy of condensation to melt the solid to liquid at the melting temperature.</u>
