When a 4.25 kg object is placed on top of a vertical spring, the spring compresses a distance of 2.62 cm. what is the force cons

The force applied to the spring is the weight of the object that compresses it, so it is equal to:
W=mg=(4.25 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=41.7 N

Because of this force, the spring compresses by x=2.62 cm=0.0262 m. Using Hook's law,
F=kx,
since we know the intensity of the force (the weight W) and the compression of the spring, x, we can find k, the spring constant:
k= \frac{F}{x}= \frac{W}{x}= \frac{41.7 N}{0.0262 m}   =1591.6 N/m

How does the input distance of a single fixed pulley compare to the out- put distance?
ololo11 [35]

A pulley is another sort of basic machine in the lever family. We may have utilized a pulley to lift things, for example, a banner on a flagpole.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The point in a fixed pulley resembles the support of a lever. The remainder of the pulley behaves like the fixed arm of a first-class lever, since it rotates around a point. The distance from the fulcrum is the equivalent on the two sides of a fixed pulley. A fixed pulley has a mechanical advantage of one. Hence, a fixed pulley doesn't increase the force.

It essentially alters the direction of the force. A moveable pulley or a mix of pulleys can deliver a mechanical advantage of more than one. Moveable pulleys are appended to the item being moved. Fixed and moveable pulleys can be consolidated into a solitary unit to create a greater mechanical advantage.

An x-ray beam of a certain wavelength is incident on a crystal, at 30.7° to a certain family of reflecting planes of spacing 33.
klemol [59]

Answer:

λ=34.068pm

Explanation:

Wavelength λ=2dsinθ

λ=2(33.4pm)sin30.7

λ=2(33.4pm) * 0.510

λ=66.8* sin30.7

λ=66.8*0.510

λ=34.068pm

X-rays are usually produced by charged particles that are accelerating or decelerating such as a beam of electrons striking a metal plate in an X-ray tube.

Energy of fossil fuel is also derived from solar energy why​
zzz [600]

Explanation:

All the energy in oil, gas, and coal originally came from the sun captured through photosynthesis. In the same way that we burn wood to release energy that trees capture from the sun, we burn fossil fuels to release the energy that ancient plants captured from the sun.
