Answer: Option A.

Spring B has a larger displacement that spring A.

Explanation:

Spring B has a larger displacement that spring A .

By using Hooke's law.

F=-Kx

Where F is force, K is spring constant and x is displacement.

For spring a

Weight / force is 2 kg

Spring constant (K) is 5/nm

Therefore,

F=-Kx

2=-5x

X=2/-5

X= -0.4m

For spring B.

Weight is 10Kg

Spring constant is 9N/m

F=-Kx

10=-9x

X=-10/9

=-1.1m

Therefore Spring B have larger displacement than spring A.

In Hooke's law, negative sign that is present on the spring's force indicate that the force exerted by the spring opposes the spring's displacement.

What are the requirements for chemical labels
yaroslaw [1]

A chemical label should include: a product identifier, signal word, hazard statement, precautionary statement,pictorgrams and supplier information

Explanation:

The product identifier : positioned at the upper left end corner of the label gives the identity of the hazardous chemical by appropriate terms. i.e. the name and code

Signal word: The "Danger" and "WARNING" words. The former is used for a more severe hazard where as the former is for a less severe hazard

Hazard statement : gives a description of the nature and degree of hazard of the chemical

Precautionary statements : Put for workers and users on ways to minimize exposure and lower risks in event of contact with the harmful chemical

Supplier information : It has the chemical manufacturer details such as name, location and telephone number.

Pictograms : Normally symbols with red borders for visual illustration of the hazard chemical.

A child is swinging back and forth on a swing. Changes in her kinetic and potential energy are happening each moment. At which p
mina [271]

Answer:

When the person has swung all the way back (position A), the swing pauses a moment. ... As the swing continues forward, it gradually slows down. Its kinetic energy changes back to potential energy until it reaches the farthest point in its arc (position C).

A 9.0 volt battery is connected to four resistors in a parallel circuit. The resistors have 7.0 Ω, 5.0 Ω, 4.0 Ω, and 2.0 Ω respe
Lynna [10]
The total resistance is the reciprocal of (1/7+1/5+1/4+1/2) = 0.915 ohm. The battery voltage makes no difference. It would be 0.915 ohm even if the resistors were connected in parallel and just laying in the drawer.

Calculate the momentum of a 2000-kg elephant charging a hunter at a speed of 7.50 m/s . (b) compare the elephant's momentum with
Sergio [31]

(a) The momentum of a moving object is given by:

p=mv

where m is the mass of the object and v is its speed. In this problem, the mass of the elephant is m=2000 kg and its speed is v=7.50 m/s, therefore its momentum is

p=(2000 kg)(7.50 m/s)=15000 kg m/s


(b) We can use the same formula to calculate the momentum of the tranquilizer dart, whose mass is m=0.04 kg and whose speed is v=600 m/s:

p=mv=(0.04 kg)(600 m/s)=24 kg m/s

we see that the elephant's momentum is much larger than the momentum of the dart.


(c) Again, using the same formula, the mass of the hunter is m=90 kg, his speed is v=7.40 m/s, therefore his momentum is

p=mv=(90 kg)(7.40 m/s)=666 kg m/s
