In the first case, the force acting on the spring is the weight of the mass:
F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=19.6N
This force causes a stretching of x=6.4 cm=0.064 m on the spring, so we can use these data to find the spring constant:
k= \frac{F}{x}= \frac{19.6 N}{0.064 m}=306.3 N/m

In the second case, the first mass is replaced with a second mass, whose weight is
F=mg=(2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N
And since we know the spring constant, we can calculate the new elongation of the spring:
x= \frac{F}{k}= \frac{24.5 N}{306.3 N/m}=0.080 m=8.0 cm

Do you think most people follow the recommended guidelines for an adequate exercise routine?
blondinia [14]

Personally, I know that I don't however it all depends on the person's lifestyle, health, and resoucres, such as if they are able to complete the excersise or have enough money fore equpemnt. To be safe, I would say that the majority of people do follow the guidelines although they may manipulate it to fit their best interest.

How would you find the total energy stored in the
likoan [24]

Answer:

The energy of the capacitors connected in parallel is 0.27 J

Given:

C = 2.0\micro F = 2.0\times 10^{- 6} F

C' = 4.0\micro F = 4.0\times 10^{- 6} F

Potential difference, V = 300 V

Solution:

Now, we know that the equivalent capacitance of the two parallel connected capacitors is given by:

C_{eq} = C + C' = 2.0 + 4.0 = 6.0\micro F = 6.0\times 10^{- 6} F

The energy of the capacitor, E is given by;

E = \frac{1}{2}C_{eq}V^{2}

E = \frac{1}{2}\times 6.0\times 10^{- 6}\times 300^{2} = 0.27 J
