Answer:

0.120 m

Explanation:

F=kx where F is force and k is constant, x is extension from its original length

Making x the subject then substituting 12 N for F and 10.0 N/m for k then

x=\frac {F}{k}=\frac {12 N}{10 N/m}=0.12 m

Answer:

1.2m

Explanation:

According to hookes law which States that the extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically, F = ke where;

F is the applied force = 12.0N

k is the elastic constant = 10N/m

e is the extension = ?

Substituting the values into the formula to get the extension, we have e = F/k

e ,= 12N/10N/m

e = 1.2m

This shows that the string have been stretched by 1.2m from its original length

A _______ is a repeating disturbance or vibration that transfers or moves energy from place to place without transporting mass.
Harman [31]

Answer: wave

Explanation:

These are the basic definitions and characteristic of the terms given, which show tha the only rigth answer is the second option: wave.

1) Force is an interaction. There are four natural forces: electrostatic, gravity, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

2) Wave: is a sequence of pulses or vibrations that cause the continuous transportation of energy (propagation). There is not transport of mass, only energy.

Some examples of waves are sound waves, electromagnetic waves (light, radio waves, micro waves, infrarred waves, ultraviolet waves).

3) Vacuum: is the absence of matter; empty space. Only electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum; other waves need a medium to travel.

4) Medium: any matter is a medium: a solid, the air, a liquid, all of them are media through which waves can transport its energy, depending of the wavelength.
