East.
momentum = mass x velocity
the direction of the momentum is the same as that of velocity.

Answer: to east.

Explanation: Momentum is the "amount of movement" and can be written as:

P = m*v

where P is momentum, m is the mass of an object moving and v is the velocity of the object.

As you may know, the velocity is a vector and the mass is a scalar, so the momentum must be also a vector, that has the same direction that the vector of velocity, so if the velocity of the rock points to the east, also does the momentum.

What is the restoring force of a spring with a spring constant of 4a and a stretched displacement of 3b? A. –7 ab B. `-7 a/b ` C

algol13

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).
