Place the single weight with a known mass on the spring and release it. Eventually, the weight will come to rest at an equilibri

um position, with the spring somewhat stretched compared to its original (unweighted) length. At this point, the upward force of the spring balances the force of gravity on the weight. With the weight in its equilibrium position, how does the amount the spring is stretched depend on the value of the weight's mass?

Answer:

X=m*g/K

Explanation:

Since the elastic force of the spring is balancing the force of gravity:

Fe = m*g

Now, on the spring by Hook's law, the magnitude of the elastic force will be:

Fe = K*X     where K is the elastic constant of the spring and X is the distance the spring is strectches measured from its original lenght to its current length.

Replacing this value:

K*X = m*g   Solving for X:

X = m*g/K    This value is directly proportional to the object's weight and inversely proportional to the spring's constant.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In physics, a conservation law states that a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves over time. The exact conservation laws include conservation of energy, and conservation of linear momentum, and also conservation of angular momentum, aswell as the conservation of electric charge

Ms. Garcia’s car can go from rest to 25 m/s in 10 seconds. The car’s velocity changes at a uniform rate. How far does the car tr
vampirchik [111]

We will use this equation:

s = 1/2*a*t^2 + v0*t + s0

where:

s = space traveled

a = acceleration

t = time

v0 = initial speed

s0 = initial space

In this case::

v0 = 0

s0 = 0

So our equation will look like that now:

s = 1/2 * a * t^2

let's calculate the acceleration first of all:

a = (vf - vi) / t

where vf is the final speed and vi is the initial speed. t is the time.

a = (25m/s) / 10s = 2.5 m/s^2

Now we can calculate the space:

s = 1/2 * (2.5 m/s^2) * (10s)^2 = 125m

Hope it was helpful! Have a great day.
