Answer:

E) 80 N/m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 4.8 kg

displacement of the block, x = -0.5 m

velocity of the block, v = -0.8 m/s

acceleration of the block, a = 8.3 m/s²

From Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

Also, from Hook's law;

F = -Kx

where;

k is the force constant

Thus, ma = -kx

k = -ma/x

k = -(4.8 x 8.3) / (-0.5)

k = 79.7 N/m

k ≅ 80 N/m

Therefore, the force constant of the spring is closest to 80 N/m

Which statement best describes perigee?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth

Explanation:

The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.

Let's see instead the names of the other options:

B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth  --> this point is called apogee

C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun  --> this point is called perihelion

D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name

One mol of a perfect, monatomic gas expands reversibly and isothermally at 300 K from a pressure of 10 atm to a pressure of 2 at
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

1 mole of perfect, monoatomic gas

initial Temperature(T_i)=300 K

P_i=10 atm

P_f=2 atm

Work done in iso-thermal process=P_iV_iln\frac{P_i}{P_f}

P_i=initial pressure

P_f=Final Pressure

W=10\times 2.463\times ln\frac{10}{2}=39.64 J

Since it is a iso-thermal process therefore q=w

Therefore q=39.64 J

(b)if the gas expands by the same amount again isotherm-ally and irreversibly

work done is=P\Delta V

V_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{10}=2.463 L

V_2=\frac{RT_2}{P_2}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{2}=12.315 L

\Delta W=1\times (12.315-2.463)=9.852 J

\Delta q=\Delta W=9.852 J

\Delta U=0

What does saliva begin to break down in the mouth?<br> answers QUICK I will make you brainst !
Andrew [12]

An enzyme called amylase breaks down starches (complex carbohydrates) into sugars, which your body can more easily absorb. Saliva also contains an enzyme called lingual lipase, which breaks down fats.
