Answer:5.35N

Explanation:

Force is defined as the product of mass of an object and its acceleration.

Acceleration is the change in velocity of an object with respect to time.

Acceleration = velocity/ time = 6.5/0.17 = 38.2m/s²

since F = ma and mass is 140g

140g to kg will be 140/1000 = 0.14kg

F = 0.14× 38.2

F = 5.35N

magnitude of the average force is 5.35N

You compress a spring by a distance of 0.2 m. The spring has a spring constant of 37 N/m. When you release the spring, it snaps
Serggg [28]
At that point it is no longer trying to uncompress nor is it trying to stretch.  This is the same thing as a pendulum at the bottom of its swing, no longer falling but not yet rising against gravity.  Thus the kinetic energy there is the same as the potential energy when it is compressed.  The energy of compression is
\frac{1}{2}k x^{2}
This gives E=0.5(37)(0.2)²=0.74J
This is the same as the kinetic energy when it is at natural length

Describe two sources of earth's energy that are not produced
Anvisha [2.4K]
Here is the answer. Two sources of Earth's energy that are not produced would be Cosmic rays and Tidal Energy. Cosmic rays <span>are high-energy protons and atomic nuclei that come from outside the solar system. Whereas, tidal energy is the energy produced by both the moon (2/3) and the sun (1/3). Hope this answers your question.</span>
