Answer:

Spring constant, k = 321.42 N/m

Explanation:

Force acting on spring, F = 45 N

Displacement caused due to stretching, x = 0.14 m

Using Hooke's law :

$F=-kx$

Where

k is the spring constant

$k=\dfrac{F}{x}$

$k=\dfrac{45\ N}{0.14\ m}$

k = 321.42 N/m

Hence, this is the required solution.

According to Hooke's law, Force = spring constant x displacement of the spring. Spring constant = Force/displacement in spring = 45/0.14 = 321.42 N/m. Hope this helps!

Answer:

0.256 hours

Explanation:

<u>Vectors in the plane </u>

We know Office A is walking at 5 mph directly south. Let $X_A$ be its distance. In t hours he has walked

$X_A=5t\ \text{miles}$

Office B is walking at 6 mph directly west. In t hours his distance is

$X_B=6t\ \text{miles}$

Since both directions are 90 degrees apart, the distance between them is the hypotenuse of a triangle which sides are the distances of each office

$D=\sqrt{X_A^2+X_B^2}$

$D=\sqrt{(5t)^2+(6t)^2}$

$D=\sqrt{61}t$

This distance is known to be 2 miles, so

$\sqrt{61}t=2$

$t =\frac{2}{\sqrt{61}}=0.256\ hours$

t is approximately 15 minutes

Imagine a player throwing a football. Explain the action of what is happening to the hand and ball, as well as describe the acti

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a player throws a football , he applies force on the ball , due to which ball accelerates in forward direction . This is the action force .

The ball also applies a force on the hand of the player . Due to it the player experiences a pushing force in backward direction . This is reaction force .

Due to this force , the player does not move in backward direction because of frictional force of the ground . The frictional force keeps him stationary .

Calculate the first and second velocities of the car with four washers attached to the pulley, using the formulas v1 = 0. 25 m /

castortr0y [4]

The first and second velocities of the car are 0.25/t1 and 0.50/t2 respectively.

Given data:

The value of the first distance is, d1 = 0.25 m.

The value of the second distance is, d2 = 0.50 m.

The ratio of distance covered by an object in a specific direction and the time taken to cover the distance is known as the velocity of the object. Mathematically, the expression for the velocity is,

v = d/t

Here,

d is the distance covered.

t is the average time taken to cover the distance.

Then the first velocity of the car at 0.25 m is,

v1 = d1/t1

v1 = 0.25 / t1

here, t1 is the average time for first distance.

And the second velocity of the car with four washers at the 0. 50 m mark is,

v2 = d2/t2

v2 = 0.50 /t2

here, t2 is the average time for the second distance.

Thus, we can conclude that the first and second velocities of the car are 0.25/t1 and 0.50/t2 respectively.

Which statements about Earth’s core help explain Earth’s magnetic field? Check all that apply.

Stella [2.4K]

All the statements can be used to explain about Earth's magnetic field.

Earth's magnetic field is almost same to that of the bar magnet. The magnetic field of the earth occurs from its core. It has an inner core which is solid in nature. in the outer core, there is a motion of the liquid due to heat flow from the inner core to the core mantle boundary which proves that the outer core is liquid and moving. The Earth's core consists of iron and nickel as the Eddy currents in the iron and nickel liquid helps generating the Earth's magnetic field.

Hence, all the three statements are true and can be used to explain the Earth's magnetic field.
