1. Is 49.5
2. Is 8.6
4. Is 6.6
Wait I’m not sure
In the first case, the force acting on the spring is the weight of the mass:
This force causes a stretching of
on the spring, so we can use these data to find the spring constant:
In the second case, the first mass is replaced with a second mass, whose weight is
And since we know the spring constant, we can calculate the new elongation of the spring:
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy
Before giving you the answer straight away, I’d like to make sure you understand each option.
FIRST OPTION
“He developed the three laws of motion."
This option is not only the incorrect answer, but it is an incorrect statement. Galileo did not develop the three laws of motion. Isaac Newton was the one to compiled the three laws of motion.
SECOND OPTION
“He was the first to systematically study force and motion."
This option is a statement is true, and it could also be the correct answer. Galileo Galilei used experiments to search for the cause of motion.
THIRD OPTION
“He was the first to discover gravity."
This option is not only the incorrect answer, but it is an incorrect statement. Galileo was not the person to discover gravity. Sir Isaac Newton was the first to discover gravity.
FINAL OPTION
“He improved on Newton's laws."
This option is not only the incorrect answer, but it is an incorrect statement. Galilei did not improve Sir Isaac Newton’s laws.
Now that we’ve gone through each of the options individually, we can go ahead and determine the correct answer to the question, which is...
B ) He was the first to systematically study force and motion.

<span>Both electric and magnetic fields exert body forces, meaning they act from a distance. The like charges and poles in both repel; positive charge repels positive and the north pole repels the north pole. For both, the opposite poles/charges attract. Finally, only magnetic fields have poles, and there are two poles, namely the south and north, so they are dipolar.
The diagram that represents all of this information correctly is the third.</span>
