Ocean waves propagate through the medium called 'sea water'.
Answer:
Explanation:
Normal length of spring = 28.3 cm
stretched length of spring = 38.2 cm
length of extension = 38.2 - 28.3 = 9.9 cm
= 9.9 x 10⁻² m
force applied to stretch = .55 x 9.8 ( mg )
= 5.39 N
Force constant = force applied / extension
= 5.39 / 9.9 x 10⁻²
= .5444 x 10² N /m
= 54.44 N/m
Answer:
5x10^-3
Explanation:
Hooke's Law states that the force needed to compress or extend a spring is directly proportional to the distance you stretch it.
Hooke's Law can be represented as
<h3> F = kx, </h3>
<em>where F is the force </em>
<em> k is the spring constant</em>
<em> x is the extension of the material </em>
<em />
Plug values in the equation
Step 1 find the original extension
0.045 = (400)x
x = 1.125x 10^-4 m d
Step 2 find the new extension
0.045+2 = 400(x)
2.045 = 400x
x = 5.1125x10^-3
Step 3 subtract the new extension with original
Total extension of the spring = 5.1125x10^-3 - 1.125x 10^-4 m = 5x10^-3
