Answer:

4.9 cm

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

F = ke......................... Equation 1

Where F= force, e = extension, k = spring constant.

Note: the Force acting on the the spring is the weight of the mass.

W = mg.

F = mg.................... Equation 2

Where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

mg = ke

make e the subject of the equation

e = mg/k............... Equation 3.

Given: m = 2 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², k = 400 N/m

e = (2×9.8)/400

e = 19.6/400

e = 0.049 m

e = 4.9 cm

<span>The formulas are, v1d1² = v2d2² ........ (1) h = (v2²-v1²)/2g ...... (2) Given that, v1 = 1.71 m/s we assume that the stream has decreased by a factor d2 =0.805d1 then, v1d1² = v2 (0.805d1)² cancelled both side d1² then we get, v1 = v2 (0.805)² v1 = v2 (0.648025) Sub v1 = 1.71, 1.71 = v2 (0.648025) v2 = 1.71/0.648025 v2 = 2.638787083831642 v2 = 2.64 m/s The vertical distance formula, h = (v2²-v1²)/2g We know that value of gravity constant is 9.8 m/s² h = {(2.64)² - (1.71)²)/2(9.8) h = {(6.9696) - (2.9241)}/19.6 h = (4.0455)/19.6 h = 0.2064030612244898 h = 0.21 cm Therefore, the vertical distance h = 0.21 cm.</span>

Liam throws a water balloon horizontally at 8.2 m/s out of a window 18 m from the ground.
Alecsey [184]

Time taken by the water balloon to reach the bottom will be given as

h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

here we know that

h = 18 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

now by the above formula

18 = \frac{1}{2}*9.8* t^2

18 = 4.9 t^2

t = 1.92 s

now in the same time interval we can say the distance moved by it will be

d = v_x * t

d = 8.2 * 1.92 = 15.7 m

so it will fall at a distance 15.7 m from its initial position

Reference frame definitely changes when also changes.
Alex
Reference frames describe the position of points relative to the body. These frames <span>are used to specify the relationship between a moving </span>observer and the phenomenon or phenomena under observation. Reference frame definitely changes when the body is changing. That is the reason that in order t<span>o describe the position of a point that moves relative to a body that is moving relative to the Earth, it is usually convenient to use a reference frame attached to the moving body.</span>

Answer:

Telescope

Explanation:

Telescope is usually defined as an optical instrument that is commonly used to observe the objects in a magnified way that are located at a large distance from earth. These telescopes are comprised of lenses and curved mirrors that are needed to be arranged in a proper way in order to have a prominent look. It is commonly used by the astronomers.

This was first constructed by Hans Lippershey in the year 1608.
