Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

g = 31 ft/s²

For every 1 lbf force, the compression is 1in

Then we can know the spring constant.

From Hooke's Law

F = Kx

K = F/x

K = 1/0.14

K = 7.143 lbf/in

Now, if the spring deflection is 1.8in

Then, the force applied is

F = kx

F = 7.143 × 1.8

F = 12.857 lbf

Now, this force is equal to the weight of the body

And weight of the body can be determined using.

W = mg

Therefore,

m = W/g

m = 12.857 / 31

m = 0.415 lb

The mass of the object is 0.415 pounds

B- the biosphere needs the hydrosphere (water) to survive. They drink the water.
C- the biosphere use the géosphère as land/ home.
D-The géosphère depends on the hydrosphere for water. Without the water, the géosphère would eventually turn dry and nothing will be able to grow
E- The animals in the hydrosphere need air to survive. The gills on sea animals are used to filter out the water from the oxygen and use the oxygen to breathe. As the fish opens its mouth, water runs over the gills, and blood in the capillaries picks up oxygen that's dissolved in the water.

Estimate the number of atoms in 1 cm^3 of a solid
dexar [7]
Avogadro's number: 6.02 x 10^23 atoms is present in 1mol of a solid (i.e. 22, 400 cm3)

Hence, in 1 cm3, 6.02 x 10^23 /22400 atoms is present = 2 x 10 ^ 19 atoms.
