<h2>
Spring constant is 14.72 N/m</h2>
Explanation:
We have for a spring
Force = Spring constant x Elongation
F = kx
Here force is weight of mass
F = W = mg = 0.54 x 9.81 = 5.3 N
Elongation, x = 36 cm = 0.36 m
Substituting
F = kx
5.3 = k x 0.36
k = 14.72 N/m
Spring constant is 14.72 N/m
Answer
B. F=ma
Explanation
The Newton's laws of motion tries to explain the how bodies behave and the energy changes when theys are in motion. For the 3 of them to hold, the bodies must be moving in a straight line and with constant velocity.
The second one states that, "the change of momentum of a moving body is directly proportional to the force producing it and it takes place to the direction of force."
From the choices given, the appropriate answer is B. F=ma
