A mass on a horizontal surface is connected to the spring and pulled to the right along the surface stretching the spring by 25
1 answer:
Answer:
320 N/m
Explanation:
From Hooke's law, we deduce that
F=kx where F is applied force, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression of spring
Making k the subject of formula then
Conversion
1m equals to 100cm
Xm equals 25 cm
25/100=0.25 m
Substituting 80 N for F and 0.25m for x then
Therefore, the spring constant is equal to 320 N/m

Answer:
Where represent the force for each of the 5 cases
presented on the figure attached.
Explanation:
For this case the figure attached shows the illustration for the problem
We have an inverse square law with distance for the force, so then the force of gravity between Earth and the spaceship is lower when the spaceship is far away from Earth.
Th formula is given by:
Where G is a constant
represent the mass for the earth
represent the mass for the spaceship
represent the radius between the earth and the spaceship
For this reason when the distance between the Earth and the Spaceship increases the Force of gravity needs to decrease since are inversely proportional the force and the radius, and for the other case when the Earth and the spaceship are near then the radius decrease and the Force increase.
Based on this case we can create the following rank:
Where represent the force for each of the 5 cases
presented on the figure attached.
