Answer:

Compression in the spring, x = 3.7 cm

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the book, m = 1.6 kg

It can be assumed the spring constant of the spring is, k = 840 N/m

As the book moves down, the change in potential energy of the book is converted to spring potential energy of compression. The mathematical expression is as follows :

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgx

x=\dfrac{2mg}{k}

x=\dfrac{2\times 1.6\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}{840\ N/m}  

x = 0.037 meters

or

x = 3.7 cm

So, the spring is compressed to a distance of 3.7 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

If two measurements are very close to each other, then they are ____.
dimaraw [331]
I'd say b, precise, here.
If there's an error somewhere in the experiment or project, then it is consistently .... wrong. So, just 'cos you measure something precisely, it doesn't mean that you've measured it accurately. Maybe an example would be a measurement of length. If you used a metal ruler at zero degrees C, you can measure to say half a millimetre. A series of measurements of the same object would give very similar readings. But, if you used same metal ruler at, say 100 celsius (implausible) then you'd probably get a different set of readings. 'cos of the expansion of the metal ruler.

In a nuclear power plant, the temperature of the water in the reactor is above 100°C because of what?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The temperature of the water increases because the nuclear reactor heats it producing steam

Explanation:

The nuclear power plants are usually defined as those thermal plants where the nuclear reactors are used in order to generate heat that eventually leads to the rotating of the turbines and produces electricity. Here the nuclear reactor heats the water, and it increases above a temperature of 100°C, where this heat energy plays a key role in the entire process. It is an efficient method as it does not lead to the emission of any green house gases that are harmful to the environment.
