<span>Hooke's law is F=-kx, which means the elastic force contained by the spring is a product of the distance it stretches and its spring constant, but the direction of the force is opposite that of the displacement. We calculate as follows:
</span><span>(3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = -k(-0.38 m)
</span>k =<span> 77.4
</span><span>Then use k to find the new displacement, again using Hooke's law:
(7 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = -(77.4)x
x = -0.89 m</span>
I believe the answer is D. <span>The hypothesis is revised and another experiment is conducted.</span>
1) v = gt = 10*1.5 = 15 m/s
2) r = gt^2 /2 = 10*(1.5)^2 / 2 = 11.25 meters
Harder. Not compressible(unless using an extremely strong force). Non-metal have more of a chance of breaking than metals.
