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

a cell phone uses 3.0V battery. the circuit board needs a 0.05 A current. what size resistor is needed to generate this current
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

60 Ohms

Explanation:

Ohms law states that the voltage in the circuit is directly proportional to the current through the circuit components and expressed as

V=IR

Where V is the voltage, I is current and R is resistance

Making R the subject of the formula then

R=\frac {V}{I}

Substituting 3.0V for V and 0.05 A for I then

R=\frac {3}{0.05}=60.0

Therefore, resistance is 60.0 Ohms

Chemical properties of an acid include...
Igoryamba
This is a list of well known characteristics of acids:

1) acids increase the concentration of hydronum ions ([H3O+]) when dissolved in water

2) acids taste sour

3) many are corrosive (the higher the acidity the higher the corrosive property)

4) when acids react with some metals produce hydrogen gas

5) acids conduct electricity (due to the presence of hydronium ions)

6) acids neutralize bases

7) acids combine with bases to produce water and salt

8) acids lower the pH of solutions.

They do not feel sticky to the touch. Bases fell slippery but there is not that property of sticky sensation about acids, although some highly concentrated strong acids have high viscosity. You cannot touch highly concentrated strong acids.

A box is sliding down a ramp how many force vectors does the box have
vlada-n [284]
Well you’d have a force due to gravity, the normal force which will be perpendicular to the sources (meaning you’ll have components to this vector), and you’d have the force of friction opposing the motion of the box. I’m also assuming there’s no air resistance. In this case you’d have three vector forces.
