F = k x

k = 2 g/6.1 cm

2.5g = (2g/6.1cm) x

x = 6.1 (2.5/2) cm

The ideal spring equation is

                               Stretch  =  K  times  Force  .

This says that the stretch is directly proportional to the force.
In simple English, that means that if you double the force, then
you double the stretch, and if you multiply the force by  π  or
any other number, you multiply the stretch by the same number.

So you can always write a proportion for a spring:

                 Stretch₁ / Force₁  =  Stretch₂ / Force₂ .

In this question, the force is increased to  (2.2 / 2.0) =  1.1 times .

So the stretch is also increased to  1.1 times .

</span>Second- atmospheric circulation advects the water.
Third- water condensates to form clouds.
Fourth- precipitation falls from clouds to the land.
Fifth- some water stored as snow or ice.
Sixth- water either ±ows along the surface in rivers and lakes or infiltrates the ground.
Seventh- water returns to the ocean.

What speed must an electron have if its momentum is to be the same as that of an x-ray photon with a wavelength of 0.30?
lorasvet [3.4K]

The momentum of the x-ray photon is p = h/lambda . Lambda is the wavelength (0.30nm=3x10^(-9)m) and h is Planck's constant,(h=6.62607004 × 10-34<span> m2 kg / s).The momentum is: 2.2 x 10^(-25).</span>

The momentum can be calculated also as: p=mv, where m is the mass of the electron and v is the speed.

So v=p/m,p is known,and also the mass of the electron (m=9.10938356 × 10-31<span> kilograms).</span>

v=2.2 x 10^(-25)/9.10938356 × 10-31<span> kilograms=0.24 x 10^6 m/s</span>
