This is because Gravity exists everywhere in the universe.

<h3>What is Gravity?</h3>

This is the force of attraction which acts on all matters in the universe. Astronauts appear weightless while in orbiting the Earth because the space shuttle and the astronauts are in free fall around it.

They fall at the same rate as the space shuttle which is why the astronauts appear weightless.

True. Though typically crack deals take place in a car, or in an alley. The middle of a long block is kind of exposed. It could happen anywhere in Chicago though.
But yeah, criminals structure crime.

While finding the spring constant, if X1 = 12 cm, X2 = 15 cm, and hanging mass = 22 grams, the value of spring constant K would

Pavel [41]

Answer:

If x₁=12 cm then k=1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm then k=1.4388 N/m

Explanation:

Hanging mass= 22 g=0.022 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81 m/s²

If x₁=displacement= 12 cm=0.12 m

k= spring constant

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=0.022\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=0.21582\ N$

$\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.012\\\Rightarrow k=1.7985\ N/m\\$

∴k = 1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm=0.15 m

Force of the hanging mass is same however the spring constant will change

$\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.015\\\Rightarrow k=1.4388\ N/m\\$

∴k = 1.4388 N/m

As the mass is not changing the spring constant has to change. That means that here there are two spring one with k=1.7985 N/m and the other with k= 1.4388 N/m

During the daytime, I have mostly line symmetry.

During the night, I often have almost spherical symmetry.
