Coastal erosion has depleted a large portion of South Louisiana's wetlands along the coastline in swamps and marshes mainly due to storm surges. But other factors also contributed to this erosion. Canals and waterways dug through the marshes and swamps for the oil industry is one factor. Man-made levees erected to provide protection to residents living adjacent to the river is another major cause. Large scale logging especially in the early 1900's also damaged the wetlands.

A. The magnitude of the spring force (in N) acting upon the object is 15.9 N
B. The magnitude of the object's acceleration (in m/s²) is 30.58 m/s²
C. The direction of the acceleration vector points toward the equilibrium position (i.e., to the left in the figure).
<h3>A. How to determine the force </h3>
- Extension (e) = 0.150 m
- Spring constant (K) = 106 N/m
- Force (F) = ?
F = Ke
F = 106 × 0.15
F = 15.9 N
<h3>B. How to determine the acceleration</h3>
- Mass (m) = 0.52 Kg
- Force (F) = 15. 9 N
- Acceleration (a) =?
F = ma
Divide both sides by m
a = F / m
a = 15.9 / 0.52
a = 30.58 m/s²
<h3>C. How to determine the direction of the acceleration vector</h3>
Considering the diagram, we can see that the spring was pulled away from the equilibrium point.
Thus, when the spring is released, it will move toward the equilibrium point. This is also true about the acceleration.
Therefore, we can conclude that the direction of the acceleration vector is towards the equilibrium point.

The rock would be at a point 12 m from water at a time <u>4.8 s</u>.
Take the origin of the coordinate system at the top of the cliff. It is thrown upwards with a velocity u. When the rock is at a point 12 m from water, calculate the vertical displacement of the rock from the origin.
Use the equation of motion,
The rock falls under the acceleration due to gravity, directed down wards.
Substitute 18 m/s for u, -26 m for y and -9.8 m/s² for a=g.
Solve the quadratic equation for t.
Taking only the positive value,
After a time of <u>4.8 s</u> the rock would be at a distance of 12 m from water.
Answer:
1. Static electricity has two charges magnetism has two poles.
2. Same charges and same poles repel and opposite charges and poles attract.
3. Static electricity is produced by charges(at rest) Magnetism is produced by charges(moving with uniform speed)
