A spring scale hung from the ceiling stretches by 6.4 cm when a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it. The 2.0 kg mass is removed and repl
dolphi86 [110]
In the first case, the force acting on the spring is the weight of the mass:
F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=19.6N
This force causes a stretching of x=6.4 cm=0.064 m on the spring, so we can use these data to find the spring constant:
k= \frac{F}{x}= \frac{19.6 N}{0.064 m}=306.3 N/m

In the second case, the first mass is replaced with a second mass, whose weight is
F=mg=(2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N
And since we know the spring constant, we can calculate the new elongation of the spring:
x= \frac{F}{k}= \frac{24.5 N}{306.3 N/m}=0.080 m=8.0 cm

A pulley has a mechanical advantage of 1.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

There is no mechanical advantage

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage is possible only when the force needed to lift a load is lesser than the weight of the load.

For example, is we have a mechanical advantage of 2, the force needed to lift will be 1/2 of the weight of the load, and if we have a mechanical advantage of 4, the force needed will be 1/4 of the weight of the load.

In the attached image there are clear examples of mechanical advantage with pulleys.

Is it illegal to attempt gerrymandering​
IRINA_888 [86]

Explanation:

The US Supreme Court has affirmed in Miller v. Johnson (1995) that racial gerrymandering is a violation of constitutional rights and upheld decisions against redistricting that is purposely devised based on race. However, the Supreme Court has struggled as to when partisan gerrymandering occurs (Vieth v.

A common pickup for an electric guitar consists of a coil of wire around a small permanent magnet, as described in Figure 25.5.
Orlov [11]
Guitar pickups are tiny coils with magnets inside them and they work via  the principal of electromagnetic inductance. The metal strings vibrate within the magnetic field of the pickup which generates an electrical current. Since nylon is not a metal, it will not cause <span>fluctuations in that magnetic field. Hope this answer helps.</span>
