Answer: Approximately 22 cm

=========================================================

Explanation:

The unstretched spring is 12.0 cm long. When adding a load of 5.0 N, it stretches to 15.0 cm. This is a displacement of 15.0 - 12.0 = 3.0 cm, which is the amount the spring is stretched.

Convert this displacement to meters (so that it fits with the meters unit buried in Newtons).

3.0 cm = (3.0)/100 = 0.03 m

Apply Hooke's Law to find the spring constant k

F = -kx

5.0 = -k*(0.03)

k = -(5.0)/(0.03)

k = -166.667 approximately

Now we must find the displacement x when F = 15 newtons

F = -kx

-kx = F

x = F/(-k)

x = -F/k

x = -15/(-166.667)

x = 0.089 approximately

x = 0.1

The displacement to one decimal place is about 0.1 meters, which converts to 100*0.1 = 10 cm

So the spring will be stretched to about 12cm+10cm = 22 cm

Un lote de construcción rectangular mide 100 metros por 150 metros. Calcula el área de este lote en yardas cuadradas.
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: 17939.74 yards

Explanation:

Given , A rectangular measures 100 meters by 150 meters

To find : Area of rectangle.

Formula :

Area of rectangle = Length x width

Here, let length = 100 meters and width = 150 meters

Then, Area of rectangle = 100 meters x 150 meters = 15,000 square meters

Also , 1 meter = 1.09361 yards

Then, Area of rectangle = 15,000 x 1.09361 x 1.09361 square yards

= 17939.7424815 square yards

≈ 17939.74 yards

Hence, the area of rectangle is 17939.74 yards .

What effect do sound waves have on air particles
valkas [14]

Answer:

Sound waves travel at 343 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your ear drum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.

What is the electromagnetic spectrum used for?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:  Astronomers use the entire electromagnetic spectrum to observe a variety of things. Radio waves and microwaves – the longest wavelengths and lowest energies of light – are used to peer inside dense interstellar clouds and track the motion of cold, dark gas
