A person wants to determine the spring constant of an exercise stretch cord. He pulls the cord with a force probe that exerts a

35-N force on the cord, causing it to stretch 20 cm. Using the Hooke's law find the spring constant of the cord. Assume that the stretch does not exceed the elastic range of the material. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer: 180N/m(to 2 significant figures)

Explanation:

According to hooked law which states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically, F = ke where;

F is the applied force in newtons

k is the elastic/spring constant in N/m

e is the extension in meters

Given applied force = 35N

extension = 20cm = 0.2m

Since F = ke,

k = F/e = 35/0.2

k = 175N/m

The spring constant is 175N/m

= 180N/m (to 2significant figures)

What are three effect of force​
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

1. Can change the state of an object(rest to motion/ motion to rest)

2. May change the speed of an object if it is already moving.

3. May change the direction of motion of an object.

Explanation: A force acting on an object causes the object to change its shape or size, to start moving, to stop moving, to accelerate or decelerate.

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are two main forms of energy which are:

  • Potential energy
  • Kinetic energy

Chemical energy energy is a form of potential energy produced through chemical reactions. A car battery is an electrochemical that converts chemical energy into electrical energy for use in the iPod. The battery is made up of electrodes through which electron flows in one direction and current is generated by the potential difference set up

Gravitational energy is a form of potential energy that tends to pull all bodies to the center of the earth. It is an attractive force.

Electrical energy is a form of energy produced through the flow of electric current in a body. As the positive charge moves away from the strong negative plate, an electric current is produced.

Elastic energy is a potential energy stored in elastic bodies that can be stretched and are not plastic.

An object of mass m is hung from a spring and set into oscillation. The period of the oscillation is measured and recorded as T.
sergejj [24]

Answer:\sqrt{2}T

Explanation:

Given

object of mass m is suspended from spring and set in oscillation with time Period T

We know Time period of a mass in oscillation is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

where k=spring constant

When mass m is replaced by a mass of 2 m time period is given by

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2m}{k}}

T'=\sqrt{2}\times 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

T'=\sqrt{2}T

i.e. New time period becomes \sqrt{2} times of previous one
