Inside most ball-point pens is a small spring that compresses as the pen is pressed against the paper. If a force of 0.1 N compr

Answer:

20 N/m

Explanation:

From the question,

The ball-point pen obays hook's law.

From hook's law,

F = ke............................ Equation 1

Where F = Force, k = spring constant, e = compression.

Make k the subject of the equation

k = F/e........................ Equation 2

Given: F = 0.1 N, e = 0.005 m.

Substitute these values into equation 2

k = 0.1/0.005

k = 20 N/m.

Hence the spring constant of the tiny spring is 20 N/m

The incident ray will have an angle of reflection of 30 degrees (made with a surface normal to the mirror surface). The reflected ray will make an angle of 60 degrees (90 - 30 degrees) with the mirror surface.

Kisha is trying to determine if a cell is a plant or animal cell. She observes the cell under the microscope and describes some
Ann [662]
There are organelles in the plant cell that the animal cell does not have. Plant cells have rigid cell walls and animal cells have flexible cell membrane. Plant cells contains chloroplasts, which is something animal cells don't have. Also, large, liquid filled vacuoles can only be found in plant cells, and they can occupy up to 90% of a cell's volume. By looking at the cell and see if they have any of these characteristics determines if it is plant cell or animal cell.

hope this helps.

The Earth possesses an electric field of (average) magnitude near its surface. The field points radially inward. Calculate the n
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Incomplete question

This is the complete question

The Earth possesses an electric field of (average) magnitude 150 near its surface. The field points radially inward. Calculate the net electric flux outward through a spherical surface surrounding, and just beyond, the Earth's surface.

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field is 150N/C inward

i.e E = - 150 i

Then, electric flux (Φ) is given as

Φ=∮E.dA

Surface area of a sphere is

A=4πr²

dA=8πr dr

The area is outwardly i.e

dA=-8πr dr i

Φ=∮E.dA

Φ=∮-150 i • 8πr i dr from 0 to R

Φ= -1200π∮rdr. From 0 to R

Φ= -1200π r²/2. From 0 to R

Φ= -600π [R² -0²]

Φ= -600πR²

Where R is radius of earth which is 6,400,000m

Φ= -600πR²

Φ= -600π(6400000)²

Φ= -7.72×10^16 Nm²/C

Describe the transformation of mechanical energy in a ball when it is thrown straight up and then comes back down
zhenek [66]
I believe that the mechanical energy would transform from starting out as kinetic, the reaching the top it would be potential, then go back to kinetic as it is falling back down.


I'm not 100% sure that this is right but if I had to take a guess this is what I would say.
