The work to stretch a spring from its rest position is

               (1/2) (spring constant) (distance of the stretch)²

           E = 1/2 k x² .

You said it takes 1700 joules to stretch the spring 3 meters from its rest position, so we can write

                 1700 joules  =  1/2 k (3m)²

1 joule = 1 newton-meter

                 1700 N-m =  1/2 k  (3m)²

Multiply each side by 2:   3400 N-m  =  k · 9m²   

Divide each side by  9m²     k  =  3400 N-m / 9m²

                                                   =  (377 and 7/9)   newton per meter

 <span>W = (1/2)kx^2, where W=work required to stretch the spring from its equilibrium position
k = spring constant
x = displacement = 5 - 2 = 3m 
</span><span>1800 J = (1/2)(k)(3)^2
by solving it we get
</span><span>k = 400 answer.</span>

The starter motor of a car engine draws a current of 140A from the battery. The copper wire to the motor runs for 0.90s until th
nasty-shy [4]
"1 Ampere" (A) means "1 coulomb of charge per second"

140 A means 140 coulombs per second

(140 coulomb/sec) x (0.9 sec)  =  126 coulombs of charge.


Go a little farther:

Electrons are the things that move through wire carrying charge.

6.25 x 10¹⁸ electrons carry 1 coulomb of charge. 

126 coulombs = 787,500,000,000,000,000,000 electrons (rounded)

RSB [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

"the velocity of the block is constant, so the net force acting on the block must be zero. Thus the normal force equals the weight and the force of friction equals the applied force" The only thing which is wrongly stated here is that the normal force equals the weight. Normal force is not always equal to weight. If external force is applied at some angle with the horizon , normal force may be more or less than weight. Even in case of an object placed on an  inclined plane , weight is not equal to normal force .

All other parts of the statement are correct.
