Answer:

1411.8 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law;

F= Ke

Where

F= force on the spring

K= force constant

e = extension

But e= 8.50 × 10^-2m

F= weight = 12.0 kg × 10 = 120 N

K = F/e = 120/8.50 × 10^-2

K= 1411.8 N/m

Through which type of media do mechanical waves, such as sound, move the fastest?
monitta

 Mechanical waves travel the fastest in solids and liquids because the molecules are more closely packed together than gases, so energy is transferred from one particle to another particle faster<span>.</span>

1. Two forces F~ 1 and F~ 2 are acting on a block of mass m=1.5 kg. The magnitude of force F~ 1 is 12N and it makes an angle of
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Normal force=7.48 N

Explanation:

N+F~1 sinθ-mg=0

=>N=1.5*9.8-12 sin37◦

=>N=14.7-7.22=7.48 N

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
matrenka [14]

Answer:

a) 6.1 m

b) 4.6 s

c) 1.326 m/s

d) 0.325 m

Explanation:

a) The wave length is the distance between 2 crests λ = 6.1m

b) The period of the wave is the time it takes from the lowest point to the next lowest point, which is twice the time it takes from the lowest point to the highest point = 2*2.3 = 4.6 s

c) The speed of the wave is the distance per unit of time, or wave length over period = 6.1 / 4.6 = 1.326 m/s

d)The amplitude A is half the distance from the highest point to the lowest point = 0.65 / 2 = 0.325 m

Two objects exert a gravitational force of 3 N on one another when they are 10 m apart. What would that force be if the distance
jeka94
Gravitational force = G ( m1 m2 ) / r²
3 = G ( m1 m2 ) / ( 10 )²x = G ( m1 m2 ) / ( 5 )²We shall divide those two equations:3 / x = 1/100 / 1/25 = 25 / 100 = 1 / 4x · 1 = 3 · 4x = 12Answer:C. 12 N
