Answer: The spring constant for the supermarket scale is 400 N/m.

Explanation:

To calculate the spring constant, we use Hooke's Law. The formula for Hooke's law is:

F=kx

where, F = Force applied on the spring = 4N

k = Spring constant = ? N/m

x = Compression or extension of the spring = 0.01m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

400N=k\times 0.01m\\\\k=400N/m

Hence, the spring constant for the supermarket scale is 400 N/m.

A 230 kg steel crate is being pushed along a cement floor. The force of friction is 480 N to the left and the applied force is 1
tamaranim1 [39]
The acceleration would be 6m/sThis is because of the formula, "f/m=a" to find the acceleration; We would need to subtract the force of the friction which equals 1380, then divide that by the mass (which was 230) to get the answer 6

Explain why it is dangerous to jump from a fast moving train
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

When you jump off a train, you jump off a certain height and your downwards (vertical) velocity is zero. But your forward (horizontal) velocity is not. You will hit the ground on split second with your horizontal velocity practically the same as the train.

Explanation:

you be in serious injury.

How is momentum conserved in a newtons cradle <br><br> when one steel ball hits the other
arsen [322]

In Newton's Cradle experiment we know that all cradles of same mass and identical to each other

Now we know that when two identical objects collide elastically then they interchange their velocity

So here we have same illustration

When Newton pulls up a cradle and release it will move hit another cradle which is at rest

Due to elastic collision between them first cradle comes to rest and another cradle will move ahead with same speed this process remains the same and one by one all cradle hit another.

So at the last the cradle at the end will move off with the same speed as the first cradle will hit with the speed.

So in this experiment the cradle at the last end will move off at same distance away from the right end as that of left end we pull the cradle.

So here we can say that in horizontal direction when all cradles are colliding each other there is no external force on the system so momentum is conserved and they all will move off with same speed and hence we observe the above condition.
