Well first you need to know the formula for the spring force. It’s -1/2k*d

K being the constant

D being the displacement

We can actually find the force on the spring by calculating the weight of the block. It would be mass multiplied by gravity, convert the grams to kilograms first tho.

600/1000 = 0.6kg

0.6kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 5.88N

Now plug everything into the equation, also convert the centimeters to meters:

1.2/100 = 0.012 meters

5.88 = -1/2k*(0.012)

5.88 = k*(0.006)

We could drop the negative sign because we really just want the magnitude of the spring constant.

K = 980N

Explanation:

For a circular orbit v= \sqrt{\frac{G.m}{r} } with G = 6.6742 × 10^{-11}

Given m = 6.42 x 10^23 kg and  r=9.38 x 10^6 m

=> v = 2137.3 m/s

I hope this is the correct way to solve

Where would the net force acting on a charge placed in a system of like charges be zero?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

If an object is electrically neutral it has no net charge becuase it has the same number of protons as it does electrons, which are opposite charges that offset each other. No, that just means that the sum of all its positive and negative amounts of charge equals zero.
