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

An object on a planet has a mass of 243 kg. What is the acceleration of the
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The gravitational acceleration of a planet of mass M and radius R

a = G*M/R^2.

In this case we have:

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N (m/kg)^2

R = 2.32 x 10^7 m

M = 6.35 x 10^30 kg

Now we can compute:

a = (6.67*6.35/2.32^2)x10^(-11 + 30 - 2*7) m/s^2 = 786,907.32 m/s^2

The acceleration does not depend on the mass of the object.

Carbon cycle is an example of a biogeochemical cycle. <span>The biogeochemical cycles move through mainly </span>the biotic and abiotic components of the earth<span>, more elaborately the spheres -biospheres, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere regions of the ecosystem. These biogeochemical cycles, from its terminology and discernable word morphology- involves the biological, geological and chemical components that make out to complete an exact and purposed cycle. The purpose in these cycles are to maintain balance and to ensure the ongoing process of the living and non-living organisms in the environment. These cycles’ help to living organisms survive and thrive. One popular example is the water cycle. </span>

How long have advances in astronomy been occurring? Only for the past few years
solniwko [45]

I'd have to say that the list of choices doesn't go far enough.

Advances in Astronomy have been occurring for at least the past two millennia (2000 years).  Maybe longer.

How much electrical energy is used by the river cooker oven rated 800 W ,230 V is switched on for 30 minutes
mariarad [96]

Answer:

E = 1440 kJ

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power of a cooker oven is 800 W

Voltage at which it is operated is 230 V

Time, t = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

We need to find the electrical energy used by the cooker oven. The product of power and time is equal to the energy consumed. So,

E=P\times t\\\\E=800\ W\times 1800\ s\\\\E=1440000\ J\\\\\text{or}\\\\E=1440\ kJ

So, electrical energy of 1440 kJ is consumed by the cooker oven.
