Consider two massless springs connected in parallel. Springs 1 and 2 have spring constants k1 and k2 and are connected via a thi

n, vertical rod. A constant force of magnitude F is being exerted on the rod. The rod remains perpendicular to the direction of the applied force so that the springs are extended by the same amount. Find the effective spring constant k of the two-spring system. Give your answer for the effective spring constant in terms of k1 and k2.

Answer:

k1 + k2

Explanation:

Spring 1 has spring constant k1

Spring 2 has spring constant k2

After being applied by the same force, it is clearly mentioned that spring are extended by the same amount i.e. extension of spring 1 is equal to extension of spring 2.

x1 = x2

Since the force exerted to each spring might be different, let's assume F1 for spring 1 and F2 for spring 2. Hence the equations of spring constant for both springs are

k1 = F1/x -> F1 =k1*x

k2 = F2/x -> F2 =k2*x

While F = F1 + F2

Substitute equation of F1 and F2 into the equation of sum of forces

F = F1 + F2

F = k1*x + k2*x

= x(k1 + k2)

Note that this is applicable because both spring have the same extension of x (I repeat, EXTENTION, not length of the spring)

Considering the general equation of spring forces (Hooke's Law) F = kx,

The effective spring constant for the system is k1 + k2

Answer: 9) when water is put inside a pot and put on a stove, the fire heats the pot, heat is transferred through the pot by conduction, the next step here in heat transfer by convection which happens in the water in the pot, when heat is transferred from the pot to the water the water molecules gain kinetic energy and moves up while the heavier molecules of the water comes down to get heated, this continues until heat is transferred throughout the water by convection, radiation occur when the quantity of the water is getting reduced.

10) same principle applies to that of the stove, but the difference is that the heat comes from sun and not from fire, the ice-cream is heated by conduction and heat is spread throughout the ice cream by convection , and radiation comes from the sun to the ice cream

What force is required to give an object with mass 300 kg an acceleration of 2
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

C. 600 N

Explanation:

Given,

mass of object (m)= 300kg

acceleration(a) =2m/s^2

We know that,

Force(F)=ma

=300*2

=600N

So,600N force is required to give an object.
