Answer:

191.36 N/m

Explanation:

From the question,

The Potential Energy of the safe = Energy of the spring when it was compressed.

mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the safe, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height of the save above the heavy duty spring , k = spring constant, e = compression

Making k the subject of the equation,

k =2mgh/e²................ Equation 2

Given: m = 1100 kg, h = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, e = 0.52 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

k = 2(1100)(9.8)(0.0024)/0.52²

k = 51.744/0.2704

k = 191.36 N/m

Hence the spring constant of the heavy-duty spring = 191.36 N/m

m_a_m_a [10]

The mass of a particle is 2.2x10⁻¹⁵ kg

Consider smoke particles as an ideal gas

The translational RMS speed of the smoke particles is 2.45x10⁻³ m/s.

<em>v= √3kT/m</em>

<em>where k= 1.38x10⁻²³J/K, T is 288K, and m is the mass of the smoke particle</em>

<em>2.45x10⁻³ = √3x1.38x10⁻²³x288/m</em>

<em>m= 2.2x10⁻¹⁵ kg</em>

Therefore, the mass of a particle is 2.2x10⁻¹⁵ kg.

State any two effects of gravitational force ​
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The effect of gravity extends from each object out into space in all directions, and for an infinite distance. However, the strength of the gravitational force reduces quickly with distance. Humans are never aware of the Sun's gravity pulling them because the pull is so small at the distance between the Earth and Sun.
