Answer:

C. newtons/meter

Explanation:

To find the units of spring constant you can use the hook's law, which says,

F = k × x where

F = force (unit Newton)

k = spring constant

x = expansion or contraction ( unit m)

So by this equation you can get that

k = F / X

So you get the units as N/m

A 400-kg object has a 100-Newton rightward net force being applied to it. What is the magnitude of the rightward acceleration on
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The answer to your question is a = 0.25 m/s²

Explanation:

Data

mass = m = 400 kg

Force = F = 100 N

acceleration = a = ? m/s²

Process

To solve this problem use Newton's second law that states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass of the body times its acceleration.

Formula

                       F = ma

solve for a

                       a = \frac{F}{m}

Substitution

                       a = \frac{100}{400}

Simplification and result

                              a = 0.25 m/s²

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

\tt \: mass \:  =  \frac{weight}{acceleration \: due \: to \: gravity}

\longrightarrow \tt \:  \frac{150}{10}

\longrightarrow \boxed{ \tt{15 \: kg}}

  • Our final answer is 15 kg .

Why do the waves have different speeds in different layers of Earth's surface?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Material's density

Explanation:

Seismic waves travel at different rates of speed based on a material's density. Hopefully, you understand that the Earth has three main layers: the crust, mantle, and core. Earthquake waves move faster through solids.
