Answer:

Δx = 1.2 m

Explanation:

The CHANGE of spring length) (Δx) can be found using PS = ½kΔx²

Δx = √(2PS/k) = √(2(450)/650) = 1.17669... ≈ 1.2 m

The actual length of the spring is unknown as it varies with material type, construction method, extension or compression, and other variables we have no clue about.

Which times and distances are represented by the function? select three options. the starting distance, at 0 hours, is 300 miles

Naya [18.7K]

The times and distances are represented by the function are

at 2 hours, the traveler is 725 miles from home.
at 3 hours, the distance is constant, at 875 miles
the total distance from home after 6 hours is 1,062.5 miles.

<h3>What is distance?</h3>

The distance is the length of path travelled by a body when moving with some speed and taking time t.

Given function is

D (t) = 300t +125 for 0≤t<2.5

D (t) = 875 for 2.5 ≤t≤3.5

D(t)= 75t +612.5 for 3.5<t≤6

According to the given function, for 2 hours, the traveler will travel from home,

D (2) = 300x2 +125 = 725 miles.

For time between 2.5 to 3.5 hr, the distance is constant i.e. 875 miles.

For total time 6hr, the distance travelled will be

D(6) = 75 x 6 +612.5 = 1062.5 miles.

Thus, the correct options are picked up.

Astronomers analyze starlight to determine a star’s (a) temperature; (b) composition; (c) motion; (d) all of the above.

wolverine [178]

One of the characteristics of the luminous gas clouds is that they do not have direct affectation by some type of external electric or magnetic fields.

In addition, we must bear in mind that color is a variable that is depending on the gas in the mixture. Therefore its relationship with spectroscopy allows us to deduce that scientists take advantage of the wavelength spectrum to know the type of composition of one of the clouds. The speed of a cloud is measured by determining the Doppler shift of its spectral lines. From wine's law, wavelength of light emitting from the object depends on temperature of object

Therefore the correct option is D
