Answer:

C. -12 ab

Explanation:

The restoring force on a spring is given by Hooke's law:

F=-kx

where

k is the spring constant

x is the stretched (or compressed) displacement of the spring

In this problem we have:

k = 4a

x = 3b

Substituting into the equation, we find:

F=-(4a)(3b) = -12 ab

And the negative sign means that the direction of the force (negative) is opposite to the direction of the displacement (positive).

A person sitting still in a moving airplane is considered to be... (SP1a) a. Motionless in relation to everything in the plane.
vichka [17]

Answer:

C. Both a and b

Explanation:

Firstly, persons and objects in a moving plane as described in this question, are moving at the same speed as the plane even if there is no individual movement of these objects.

However, this question describes a person sitting still in a moving plane. This means that;

- The person is motionless in relation to everything in the plane i.e the person is not moving even if other things in the plane are.

- The person is in motion compared to everything on the ground i.e. the person is moving at the same speed as the plane, hence, in comparison with the ground, the person is moving.

Therefore, options A and B are correct

Which part of a river would have animals with very muscular bodies and adaptations that let survive in turbulent water? Source z
lidiya [134]
The part of a river that would have animals with muscular bodies and adaptations that let survive in turbulent water is in the transition zone, the mid-transition zone to be precise. Water at the source zone possesses a lot of potential energy and as it flows from the upper reaches the potential energy is turned into kinetic energy when the course of the river begins to gradually level out and this translates into increase in velocity. By the time river water reaches the middle of the transition zone, most of the potential energy would have been turned into kinetic energy and thus water velocity would be quite high here. Animals living here would develop muscles because of constantly fighting against the strong current to avoid being swept downstream.
