Answer:

0.48 N/cm

Explanation:

The original length is 10cm so with a force of 10cm, the extension will be 12.2-10=2.2 cm when force of 1N is exerted. Similarly, with a force of 3N, the extension is 16.4-10=6.4cm

The slope will be given by change in force/ change in extension and this is equivalent to the stiffness.

Change in force is 3-1=2 N

Change in exgension is 6.4-2.2=4.2 cm

The slope will be 2/4.2=0.4761904761904 N/cm

Rounded off, the slope is 0.48 N/cm and this is the stiffness of the spring.

How many drops of water are in a 1.0 L bottle? (Hint: Start by estimating the diameter of a drop of water.)

o-na [289]

Answer:

N = 2000 drops approx with 1 cm diameter each

Explanation:

Let the diameter of one drop is 1 cm

so volume of one drop is given by

$V = \frac{1}{6}\pi d^3$

now we have

$V = \frac{1}{6}\pi(0.01)^3$

$V = 0.53 \times 10^{-6} m^3$

now in 1L of liquid let say N drops are there

so we have

$1L = 10^{-3} m^3$

now we have

$N = \frac{10^{-3}}{0.53 \times 10^{-6}}$

$N = 2\times 10^3$

so it will have approx 2000 drops in it with diameter 1 cm each drop

How does the structure of the stigma aid in pollination

natali 33 [55]

<span>Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred to the female part of a plant. The stigma is the central part of the flower, that is supported by a style and is part of the female reproductive organ within plants. Its structure is optimised to promote pollination by having hairs, sticky surfaces and three-dimensional sculptures that capture and trap pollen.</span>

In the equation for centripetal force, which expression represents the centripetal acceleration of the object? mv2 StartFraction

Sphinxa [80]

Answer: $\frac{V^{2}}{r}$

Explanation:

According to Newton's 2nd Law of motion the force $F$ is proportional to the mass $Fm$ and acceleration $a$ :

$F=m.a$ (1)

On the other hand, the equation for the Centripetal force is:

$F=\frac{mV^{2}}{r}$ (2)

Where:

$V$ is the velocity

$r$ is the radius of the circular motion

Making (1) and (2) equal:

$m.a=\frac{mV^{2}}{r}$ (3)

Hence:

$a=\frac{V^{2}}{r}$ This is the expression for the centripetal acceleration

It should be noted, this acceleration is directed toward the center of the circumference of the circular motion (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).
