F = k x

k = 2 g/6.1 cm

2.5g = (2g/6.1cm) x

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 .

A red laser beam goes from crown glass with refraction index n=1.3 to air (n=1) with an incident angle of 0.23 radians. What is
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

   θ = 10.28º

Explanation:

To find the angle of refraction use the equation of refraction

        n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where index 1 is for incident light and index 2 is for refracted light.

         sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ

let's calculate

         sin = 1 / 1.3 sin 0.23

         sin = 0.175

        θ= 0.17528 rad

let's reduce to degrees

       θ = 0.17528 rad (180ª / pi rad)

       θ = 10.28º

Which of these objects are malleable? Check all that apply.
g100num [7]

Answer:

The tin fork and knife, the copper coin, and the steel fence pole.

Explanation:

Those are both what people would call soft metals so they are malleable to the extent of probably not needing heavy duty equipment. It depends on you description of malleable because the steel fence pole could be malleable with the correct equipment and not snap in half if bent slowly enough.

The definition of malleable: (of a metal or other material) able to be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking.

But the glass table, marble sculpture and antique ceramic vase are nowhere near malleable because if you tried bending them they wouldn't bend but would shatter and break into pieces.

Two students are watching a person riding a skateboard up and down a ramp. Each student shares what they think about the energy
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Raymond: I think the skateboarder has the same total energy at all points on the ramp

Explanation:

The total energy, also known as the total mechanical energy, is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the skateboarder

Given that the potential energy is the energy gained due to elevation, the maximum potential energy is obtained at the top of the ramp, while the maximum kinetic energy, which is the energy due to motion, is at the bottom of the ramp where the skateboarder moves fastest.

However, by the energy conservation principle, the kinetic energy of he skateboarder comes from the conversion of the potential energy, such that the total energy is the same at any particular point on the ramp.

You need to design a photodetector that can respond to the entire range of visible light. True or False
Rasek [7]

Answer: True

Explanation:

A photo detector that can respond to the entire rang of visible light can be design, it is true.

Photo detector is a device in an optical receiver which receives optical signals and convert it to electric signal. It is the key device position in front of the optical receiver.

A busy chipmunk runs back and forth along a straight line of acorns that has been set out between his burrow and a nearby tree.
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: a = 1.32m/s2

Therefore, the average acceleration is 1.32m/s2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change in the velocity per time

a = change in velocity/time

a = ∆v/t

average acceleration a = (v2 -v1)/t. ....1

Given;

Final velocity v2 = 1.63m/s

Initial velocity v1 = -1.15ms

time taken t = 2.11s

Substituting into eqn 1

a = [1.63 - (-1.15)]/2.11

a = (1.63+1.15)/2.11

a = 2.78/2.11

a = 1.32m/s2

Therefore, the average acceleration is 1.32m/s2
