Answer:

Spring Constant

Explanation:

Hooke's law: The force required to squeeze or expand a spring by a distance (d) is directly proportional to the distance. It is given as,

F_{s} = K\times d

Here, K = spring constant.

It is measure of the stiffness of the spring. If we draw the graph of Force with respect to the distance it will be a linear plot passing through the origin. The slope of the plot will be equal to K.

So Hooke's law says that that law is proportional to how much I stretch the spring. Alright. So f=kx<span>. x is the length of the spring now minus its length when it's relaxed and nobody's pulling on it. k is a constant called the spring constant.</span>

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Centripetal acceleration = 0.931 m/s²

Centripetal force = = 1.234 × 10^-4 Newtons

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula v²/r, where r is the radius of the circular path and v is the velocity of a body;

Centripetal acc = 3.2²/11

                          = 0.931 m/s²

Centripetal force is a force that acts on an object or a body in circular path and is directed towards the center of the circular path.

Centripetal force is given by the formula;

mv²/r ; where m is the mass of the body, r is the radius of the circular path and v is the velocity of a body;

mass = 33 mg or 1.33 × 10^-6 kg, velocity = 3.20 m/s and r = 11 m

Therefore;

Centripetal force = (1.33 ×10^-6 × 3.1²)/ 11

                            = 1.234 × 10^-4 Newtons

What is the difference between density and specific gravity
lys-0071 [83]
Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It has the SI unit kg m-3 or Kg/m-3 and is an absolute quantity. Specific gravity is the ratio of a material's density with that of water at 4 °C (where it is most dense and is taken to have the value 999.974 kg·m-3). It is therefore a relative quantity with no units.

Which statement best describes the energy of activation?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

hi <3

i believe the answer would be D, as when the temperature increases the particles have more energy and can overcome the activation energy more rapidly.

hope this helps :)
