F=K*X,
F=M*a
M*a=K*X
2.5*9.81=K*0.0276
24.525=K*0.0276
24.525/0.0276=K
K= 888.6 N/m ---- force constant
assuming 2.5 refers to the new extension, just divide F/ 0.025
to get
981N/m
Answer:
Explanation:
The weight of an object on Earth is given by 
, so we can calculate its mass by doing 
, which for our values is:
<em>Nothing is being asked</em> about Io but if one wanted to know the weight <em>W'</em> of the watermelon there one just have to do:
It does produce 'sound' ... a compression wave traveling through the air. But your ears don't hear a sound that's vibrating less than 20 or 30 times every second. If you could swing your pendulum that fast, you could hear the sound of its vibrations pushing the air around.
A simple rule to bear in mind is that all objects (regardless of their mass) experience the same acceleration when in a state of free fall. When the only force is gravity, the acceleration is the same value for all objects. On Earth, this acceleration value is 9.8 m/s/s.
