A certain spring stretches 3 cm when a load of 15 n is suspended from it. how much will the spring stretch if 30 n is suspended
Alik [6]
Initially, the spring stretches by 3 cm under a force of 15 N. From these data, we can find the value of the spring constant, given by Hook's law:
k= \frac{F}{\Delta x}
where F is the force applied, and \Delta x is the stretch of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position. Using the data, we find
k= \frac{15 N}{3.0 cm}=5.0 N/cm

Now a force of 30 N is applied to the same spring, with constant k=5.0 N/cm. Using again Hook's law, we can find the new stretch of the spring:
\Delta x =  \frac{F}{k}= \frac{30 N}{5.0 N/cm}=6 cm

Whenever you push an object across a frictional surface, it starts out taking a lot of force to push to get the object moving. H
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

Here's an example. A child is in school taking a test. They have made a mistake on a question, and want to erase it. The eraser is made out of a type of rubber, the rubber has friction, which means the eraser has something that's going to resist movement. Now the child has exerted enough force to get it moving, and it's moving, it won't stop unless the child stops exerting force to keep it moving. Both Newton's 1st and 3rd law explain the action of moving something on a surface with friction.

3. What is the difference between an emission spectrum and an absorption spectrum? What is the Bohr model of the atom, and how d
pishuonlain [190]
The Bohr model resembles a planetary system in which the negatively-charged electrons orbit a small and very dense, positively-charged nucleus at the atom's center.
The electrons are held in orbit by the Coulomb (electrical) force between the positively-charged nucleus and the negatively-charged electrons.

The electrons cannot occupy just any orbital radius.
Only orbits with a very specific set of energy values are permitted (which all atoms of a given element have in common and are unique to that element).
The lowest energy (or ground state) corresponds to orbit closest to the nucleus and photons with specific amounts of electromagnetic radiation are absorbed or emitted when an electron moves from one orbit to another (absorbed to move further up the permitted levels and away from the nucleus)


An atomic line spectrum is the whole range of specific photon radiation frequencies that an element can emit or absorb as it's electrons move between the energy levels allowed in those atoms.

The emissions correspond with electrons descending 'down' their energy levels, with the energy differences being carried away by photons with the appropriate frequency. Consequently an emission spectra is a series of specific, single color lines (against a black background) for each of the emitted frequencies.

Photon absorption provides the energy for electrons to 'climb' the set of energy levels for that element. So, putting electrons into higher energy states within an atom.
When the absorbed photons are removed from incident light containing the full spectrum, their absence is seen as a series of fine black lines on an otherwise continuous spectrum background.
