Answer:

The value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m

Explanation:

Given;

equilibrium length of the spring, L = 10.0 cm

new length of the spring, L₀ = 14 cm

applied force on the spring, F = 40 N

extension of the spring due to applied force, e = L₀ - L = 14 cm - 10 cm = 4 cm

From Hook's law

Force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension produced, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.

F ∝ e

F = ke

where;

k is the spring constant

k = F / e

k = 40 / 0.04

k = 1000 N/m

Therefore, the value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m

5g of ammonium nitrate was dissolved in 60g of water in an insulated container. The temperature at the start of the reaction was
Minchanka [31]

Answer: The energy absorbed by the reaction from the water is 996 Joules.

Explanation:

Energy absorbed by the reaction or energy lost by the water to the reaction,Q.

Mass of the the reaction  ,m = 60 g

Specific heat of water = c = 4.15 J\g ^oC

Change is temperature=\Delta T=19^oC-23^oC=-4^oC

Q=mc\Delta T=60 g\times 4.15 J\g ^oC\times (-4^oC)=-996 Joules

Negative sigh indicates that energy was given by the water to the reaction.

The energy absorbed by the reaction from the water is 996 Joules.

How does energy move through the atmosphere hydrosphere and biosphere
Anna11 [10]
<span>When the Sun’s energy moves through space, it reaches Earth’s atmosphere and finally the surface.  This radiant solar energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This heat energy is transferred throughout the planet’s systems in three ways: by radiation, conduction, and convection</span>

What is the term for the principal that an object in motion remains in motion until it is met by an outside force?
Papessa [141]

The term for the principal that an object in motion remains in motion until it is met by an outside force is called inertia

Newton's first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force .This principal is named as inertia .

Every matter have inertia , a property to remain in that very position until unless it is been forced on them to change their position .

Inertia is a property of matter that causes it to resist changes in velocity (speed and/or direction). According to Newton's first law of motion, an object with a given velocity maintains that velocity unless acted on by an external force. Inertia is the property of matter that makes this law hold true.
