A 0.40-kg block is attached to the end of a horizontal ideal spring and rests on a frictionless surface. The block is pulled so

that the spring stretches for 2.0 cm relative to its unstrained length. When the block is released, it moves with an acceleration of 8.0 m/s2. What is the spring constant of the spring

Answer:

160N/m

Explanation:

According to Hooke's law which states that the extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically,

F = ke where

F is the applied force

k is the spring constant

e is the extension

From the formula k = F/e

Since the body accelerates when the block is released, F = ma according to Newton's second law of motion.

The spring constant k = ma/e where

m is the mass of the block = 0.4kg

a is the acceleration = 8.0m/s²

e is the extension of the spring = 2.0cm = 0.02m

K = 0.4×8/0.02

K = 3.2/0.02

K = 160N/m

The spring constant of the spring is therefore 160N/m

Fiesta28 [93]
<span>Its the impact theory.
It suggests that the moon resulted from the collision of two protoplanets, or embryonic worlds. One of those was the just-forming Earth, and the other was a Mars-size object called Theia. The moon then coalesced from the debris, thus giving it its irregular shape.</span>

The train departed 100 meters in 10 seconds How far has the train gone in the last 2 seconds
zzz [600]

Answer:

20 meters.

Explanation:

Since it went 100 meters in 10 seconds, that means it is going 10 meters per second. In 2 seconds, it must have gone 20 meters, if the speed is constant.

A mountain climber ascends a mountain to its peak. The peak is 12,470 ft above sea level. The climber then descends 80 ft to mee
o-na [289]
The answer is 12,390 ft.

At first, a climber is at 12,470 <span>ft above sea level. But then, he goes down 80 ft to meet a fellow climber. So, this simply needs to be distracted:
12,470 ft - 80 ft = 12,390 ft
This is the elevation </span>above sea level at which he meet the other climber.

a spring is hanging down from the ceiling, and an object of mass m is attached to the free end. the object is pulled down, there
Maurinko [17]

The dimension of K is M/ T^2

according to the question T=2π square root ofm/k here 2 pi is constant so  

T= root of m /k and root of k = root of m/ T now by squaring on both the sides we get the answer k= M/ T^2

complete question :

A spring is hanging down from the ceiling, and an object of mass m is attached to the free end. The object is pulled down, thereby stretching the spring, and then released. The object oscillates up and down, and the time T required for one complete up-and-down oscillation is given by the equation T=√2πm/k, where k is known as the spring constant. What must be the dimension of k for this equation to be dimensionally correct?
