Answer:
By ‘inserting’ you means to putting a resistor in series. In this case, no, there is no resistance that would produce the same effect as a short circuit.
If you adding a resistor in parallel with the circuit, then if it had a low value It might be similar to a short circuit. I
Answer:
b- a bicycle sitting on the ground
Explanation:
'Static' means it's not moving.
So, only the answer listed as "a bicycle sitting on the ground" corresponds to that condition.
All others possible answers describe something that is moving (an apple falling, a motorcycle accelerating, a car moving at a constant speed). Even if they are going at a constant speed, they are moving, so not static.

Answer:</h2>
0.126m
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
According to Hooke's law, the force (F) acting on a spring to cause an extension or compression (e) is given by;
F = k x e -------------------(i)
Where;
k = the spring's constant.
From the question, the force acting on the spring is the weight(W) of the mass. i.e
F = W -----------------------(ii)
<em>But;</em>
W = m x g;
where;
m = mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity [usually taken as 10m/s²]
<em>From equation (ii), it implies that;</em>
F = W = m x g
<em>Now substitute F = m x g into equation(i) as follows;</em>
F = k x e
m x g = k x e ------------------(iii)
<em>From the question;</em>
m = m1 = 3.5kg
k = 278N/m
<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;</em>
3.5 x 10 = 278 x e
35 = 278e
<em>Now solve for e;</em>
e = 35/278
e = 0.126m
Therefore, the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length (which is the same as the extension of the spring) is 0.126m
The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction.
Fnet = ma = F - Ff
12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.
