The answer is 3.02 x 10^-5

Explanation:
Natural length of a spring is
. The spring is streched by
. The resultant energy of the spring is
.
The potential energy of an ideal spring with spring constant
and elongation
is given by
.
So, in the current problem, the natural length of the spring is not required to find the spring constant
.

∴ The spring constant of the spring = 
I think it’s C. Marshmallow and toothpicks are used to show the composition of a water molecule
Answer:
C. N/m (newtons/meter)
Explanation:
Since the equation for potential energy for a spring is PE = 1/2kx², after you know <em>k </em>and <em>x</em>, you will get an answer in Joules.

The initial force between the two charges is given by:

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, d their separation. Let's analyze now the other situations:
1. F
In this case, q1 is halved, q2 is doubled, but the distance between the charges remains d.
So, we have:

So, the new force is:

So the force has not changed.
2. F/4
In this case, q1 and q2 are unchanged. The distance between the charges is doubled to 2d.
So, we have:

So, the new force is:

So the force has decreased by a factor 4.
3. 6F
In this case, q1 is doubled and q2 is tripled. The distance between the charges remains d.
So, we have:

So, the new force is:

So the force has increased by a factor 6.
