Answer:

C. N/m (newtons/meter)

Explanation:

Since the equation for potential energy for a spring is PE = 1/2kx², after you know <em>k </em>and <em>x</em>, you will get an answer in Joules.

Please let me know if you want me to explain further!

Thanks!

Answer:

Option (c)

Explanation:

The spring constant is defined as the force per unit length of compression or expansion in spring. So it's unit is newton per metre.

If a spring has a spring constant of 1.00 × 10^3 N/m, what is the restoring force when the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm?
never [62]

The spring has a spring constant of 1.00 * 10^3 N/m and the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm then the restoring force is 20000 N/m.

Explanation:

When a spring is stretched or compressed its length changes by an amount x from its equilibrium length then the restoring force is exerted.

spring constant is k = 1.00 * 10^3 N/m

mass is x = 20.0 cm

According to Hooke's law, To find restoring force,

    F = - kx

        = - 1.00 *10 ^3 * 20.0

     F = 20000 N/m

Thus, the spring has a spring constant of 1.00 * 10^3 N/m and the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm then the restoring force is 20000 N/m.

If you swim with the current in a river, your speed is increased by the speed of the water; if you swim against the current, you
Blababa [14]

Answer:

11.23%

Explanation:

Lets take

Speed of man in still water =u= 1.73 m/s

Speed of flow of water = v=0.52 m/s

When swims in downward direction then speed of man = u + v

When swims in upward direction then speed of man = u - v

Lets time taken by man when he swims in downward direction is t_1 and when he swims in downward direction is t_2

Lets distance is d and it will be remain constant in both the case

d=(u+v)t_1

d=(u-v)t_2

(1.73+0.52)t_1=(1.73-0.52)t_2

t_2=1.85t_1

Time taken in still water

2 d= t x 1.73

t=1.15 x d sec

t_1=0.44d\ sec

t_2=0.82d\ sec

total time in current = 0.82 +0.44 d=1.26 d sec

So the percentage time

percentage\ time =\dfrac{1.28-1.15}{1.15}

 Percentage time =11.32%

So it will take 11.32% more time as compare to still current.
