Greeley [361]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:Sample Response: The law of conservation of mass states that the total amount of mass remains constant in a system. In ecology, this means that when an organism is eaten, its mass is conserved. Some of the organism’s mass is used to make new proteins, and some of it is passed as waste in the form of urine or feces. The rest is converted directly into energy. This energy helps the consumer to move and grow, and it helps it to build and repair new tissue.

You are tasked with calibrating the springs for a pinball machine. Your method of testing the springs is by attaching masses ont
choli [55]

Answer:

490.5\ \text{N/m}

Explanation:

m = Mass attached to spring = 14 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

x = Displacement of spring = 78-50=28\ \text{cm}

k = Spring constant

The force balance of the system is given by

kx=mg\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{mg}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{14\times 9.81}{0.28}\\\Rightarrow k=490.5\ \text{N/m}

The spring constant for that spring is 490.5\ \text{N/m}.

What are allotropes? Give an example.
VARVARA [1.3K]
Allotropes are different forms of the same element. Different bonding arrangements between atoms result in different structures with different chemical and physical properties. Allotropes occur only with certain elements, in Groups 13 through 16 in the Periodic Table.

What physical property makes the red light different from blue light, or radio waves different from microwaves?​
inna [77]

Only their wavelength does.

Blue light waves have only roughly half the wavelength of red light waves, and the so-called "microwaves" are the radio waves with the shortest wavelengths.
