D.the measure of average kinetic energy of molecules of a substance

Explanation:

Temperature is a quantity that measures the average kinetic energy of molecules of substance. It is widely defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

Heat, a form of thermal energy causes temperature changes in a body.
This suggests that for the temperature of a body to change the average kinetic energy of the body must change.
A body at low temperature has low average kinetic energy for its particles.
A high kinetic energy is known for hotter bodies with a high temperature.
Temperature is taken with reference to a scale.

Using hooke's law find the elastic constant of a spring that stretches 2 cm when 4newton force is applied to it

Kay [80]

<u>Answer:</u>

2N/cm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

According to the Hooke's Law, the force required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional distance you can stretch it, which is represented as:

$F=kx$

where, $F$ is the force which is stretching or compressing the spring,

$k$ is the spring constant; and

$x$ is the distance the spring is stretched.

Substituting the given values to find the elastic constant $k$ to get:

$F=kx$

$4=k(2)$

$k=\frac{4}{2}$

$k=2$

Therefore, the elastic constant is 2 Newton/cm.

Can a vector be shorter than one of its components

Sauron [17]

It can never be shorter than a component - magnitude of avector is the square root of the sum of the components squared, and a square function never produces a negative number. However, it can be the same size as its component, if that component is the only one
