Answer:

29.4 N/m

0.1  

Explanation:

a) From the restoring Force we know that :  

F_r = —k*x  

the gravitational force :  

F_g=mg  

Where:

F_r is the restoring force .

F_g is the gravitational force

g is the acceleration of gravity

k is the constant force  

xi , x2 are the displacement made by the two masses.

Givens:

<em>m1 = 1.29 kg</em>

<em>m2 = 0.3 kg  </em>

<em>x1   = -0.75 m  </em>

<em>x2 = -0.2 m </em>

<em>g   = 9.8 m/s^2  </em>

Plugging known information to get :

F_r =F_g

-k*x1 + k*x2=m1*g-m2*g

k=29.4 N/m

b) To get the unloaded length 1:  

l=x1-(F_1/k)

Givens:

m1 = 1.95kg , x1 = —0.75m  

Plugging known infromation to get :

l= x1 — (F_1/k)  

= 0.1

What happens when multiple forces act on an object?
kozerog [31]
They can either cancel each other or add up to a resultant force with a certain direction and modulus.
Newton's second law states that F=m*a, where F is the resultant force, ie ΣF.

How can a force change the motion of an object that is already moving?
lara [203]

Answer:They may cause motion to change

Explanation:They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity. Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity.
