Answer:

The answer is A. An earthquake

Explanation:

When the giant blocks of rock that make up the Earth's crust, move due to plate tectonics, they tend to collide with each other. These blocks of rock come into contact with the faults. Sometimes they glide smoothly against each other in a fault. But others collide and get stuck. which leads to an earthquake. When two plates collide, a large amount of energy accumulates. And when that energy is released, the earthquake occurs. Energy is released in the form of waves, which shakes the Earth's surface.

Two particles, one with charge −7.97×10−6 C and the other with charge 6.91×10−6 C, are 0.0359 m apart. What is the magnitude of

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

-384.22N

Explanation:

From Coulomb's law;

F= Kq1q2/r^2

Where;

K= constant of Coulomb's law = 9 ×10^9 Nm^2C-2

q1 and q2 = magnitudes of the both charges

r= distance of separation

F= 9 ×10^9 × −7.97×10^−6 × 6.91×10^−6/(0.0359)^2

F= -495.65 × 10^-3/ 1.29 × 10^-3

F= -384.22N

If there is a negative sign in front of the Hooke's Law equation, what does the force, F, represent?

solong [7]

Answer:

C) The restoring force

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that the restoring force acting on a spring is given by the equation:

$F=-kx$

where

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position

The negative sign in the equation tells the direction of the restoring force. In fact, this force tends to bring the spring back to its equilibrium position: so, the force is always in opposite direction to the displacement.

This means that when the spring is stretched to the right, the restoring force tends to bring it back to the left, to the equibrium position; if the spring is compressed to the left, the restoring force tends to bring it back to the right, to the equilibrium position.

So the correct option is

C) The restoring force
