Answer:</h2>
0.126m
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
According to Hooke's law, the force (F) acting on a spring to cause an extension or compression (e) is given by;
F = k x e -------------------(i)
Where;
k = the spring's constant.
From the question, the force acting on the spring is the weight(W) of the mass. i.e
F = W -----------------------(ii)
<em>But;</em>
W = m x g;
where;
m = mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity [usually taken as 10m/s²]
<em>From equation (ii), it implies that;</em>
F = W = m x g
<em>Now substitute F = m x g into equation(i) as follows;</em>
F = k x e
m x g = k x e ------------------(iii)
<em>From the question;</em>
m = m1 = 3.5kg
k = 278N/m
<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;</em>
3.5 x 10 = 278 x e
35 = 278e
<em>Now solve for e;</em>
e = 35/278
e = 0.126m
Therefore, the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length (which is the same as the extension of the spring) is 0.126m
Answer:
0.0786
Explanation:
zero after the decimal place is not a significant figure since it comes before the real integer "7".
"5 " in ten thousandth place is rounded off to "6" because the next digit is also another "5",
so we get the three sfg 0.0786
Disagree.
Fluoresce objects will only glow when put under actual Ultraviolet light. This is due to the molecules becoming excited by the ultraviolet radiation.
Microwaves give micro-waves that are present in another spectrum of wave length and will not be able to fluoresce the molecules. If it’s not “ultra violet “.... it’s not going to glow.
