<u>Answer;</u>

<em>Spring constant </em>

<u>Explanation;</u>

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the <u>spring constant</u>.

  • The symbol of spring constant is K, since it is a constant. From the Hooke's law,for a helical spring or any elastic material, the extension force is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
  • Therefore; the spring constant = Force/extension. That is; K = F/e; where k is the spring constant, F is the extension force and e is the extension.
  • Spring constant depicts the resistance of the spring to compressional and stretching forces.

Answer: Spring constant

Explanation:

The stiffness of the spring is determined by its spring constant. It measured in Newtons per meter (N/m).

The spring resists change in its length- either being extended or compressed. It always tends to come back to its original position.

<u>Hooke's law </u>states that force F required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional to its displacement x.

F ∝ x

F = k x

where, k is the spring constant.

work done is product of force and displacement of point of application of force

so here we have to check the product of force and displacement both

Now we will put the least to maximum work in the following order

2. -A flea pushes a speck of dirt 1 cm

3. -A farmer pushes a 2 kg wheelbarrow 20 m

4. -A cannon launches a 3 kg cannonball a distance of 200

5. -A 2000 kg car travels 400 m down a road

6. -Space shuttle Atlantis launches from the ground into near-Earth orbit

At the equator earth rotates with a velocity of about 465 m/s.
Dafna1 [17]
The given velocity is 465 m/s.

Part a.
465 \,  \frac{m}{s} =(465 \times 10^{-3} \,  \frac{km}{s})*( 3600 \,  \frac{s}{h} ) = 1674 \,  \frac{km}{h}
Answer: 1674 km/h

Part b.
1674  \frac{km}{h} = (1674 \,  \frac{km}{h})*(24 \,  \frac{h}{day}  ) = 40176 \,  \frac{km}{day}
Answer: 40,176 km/day.

Which of the following is a surface phenomenon A evaporation B boiling C melting D freezing​
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

A. evaporation

Explanation:

Evaporation is a surface phenomenon as the molecules of the surface gets sufficient energy to overcome the force of attraction which will help in converting to the vapor phase.

Why are household wall sockets alternating current (AC) instead of direct current (DC)? Select all that apply.
Bond [772]

Answer:

It is easier to scale the voltage of AC from high to low and low to high than with DC

Explanation:

typically power is used far away from the place where it's generated so to ensure that transmission losses( copper losses) are minimized voltage has to be stepped up during transmission..but due to the fact that most house hold equipment requires low voltage levels it has to be stepped down once it reaches a household/ domestic load...it's easier to do this for Ac than for DC.
