Answer:

Gravity.

Explanation:

The force that controls the movement of the planets around the sun, holds together stars grouped in galaxies, and galaxies grouped in clusters is called gravity.

This ultimately implies that, gravity is considered to be a universal force of attraction that acts between all objects that has both mass, energy and occupy space. Therefore, it acts in such a way as to bring objects together.

Additionally, the gravity of earth makes it possible for all physical objects to possess weight.

Weight can be defined as the force acting on a body or an object as a result of gravity.

Mathematically, weight is given by the formula;

Weight = mg

Where;

m is the mass of an object.

g is acceleration due to gravity.

Use Hooke's Law, which states that the distance a spring stretches (or compresses) from its natural, or equilibrium, length vari
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

706.68 N

Explanation:

By Hooke's law,

F = ke

k=\dfrac{F}{e}

Using the values in the question,

k=\dfrac{265\text{ N}}{0.15 \text{ m}}=1766.7\text{ N/m}

When e = 0.4 m,

F = 1766.7\text{ N/m}\times0.4\text{ m}=706.68\text{ N}

A 6 kg box with initial speed 5 m/s slides across the floor and comes to a stop after 1.9 s. What is the coefficient of kinetic
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

\mu_k=0.27

Explanation:

According to the free body diagram, in this case, we have:

\sum F_x:-F_k=ma\\\sum F_y:N=mg

Recall that the force of friction is given by:

F_k=\mu_k N

Replacing and solving for the coefficient of kinetic friction:

-\mu_kN=ma\\-\mu_k(mg)=ma\\\mu_k=-\frac{a}{g}

We have an uniformly accelerated motion. Thus, the acceleration is defined as:

a=\frac{v_f-v_0}{t}\\a=\frac{0-5\frac{m}{s}}{1.9s}\\a=-2.63\frac{m}{s^2}

Finally, we calculate \mu_k:

\mu_k=-\frac{-2.63\frac{m}{s^2}}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}\\\mu_k=0.27

Do you think seismographs predict earthquakes or measure earthquakes, explain your answer?
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

No. Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future.
