A force of 60 N is used to stretch two springs that are initially the same length. Spring A has a spring constant of 4 N/m, and

spring B has a spring constant of 5 N/m.
How do the lengths of the springs compare?

A:Spring B is 1 m longer than spring A because 5 – 4 = 1.
B:Spring A is the same length as spring B because 60 – 60 = 0.
C:Spring B is 60 m longer than spring A because 300 – 240 = 60.
D:Spring A is 3 m longer than spring B because 15 – 12 = 3.

Answer:

D:Spring A is 3 m longer than spring B because 15 – 12 = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you should remember the Hooke's Law in physics.

The Hooke's Law simply explains that the extension that occurs on a spring is directly proportional to the load applied on it.

The mathematical expression for this law is

F=-kx

where;

F= force applied on the spring

x = the extension on the spring

k= the spring constant which varies in spring.

The question will need you to calculate the extension on the springs A and B then compare the values obtained.

<u>In spring A</u>

Force, F=60N and spring constant ,k=4 N/m

To find the extension x apply the expression;

F=-kx\\\\60=-4*x\\\\60=-4x\\\\\frac{60}{-4} =\frac{-4x}{-4} \\\\\\-15=x

Here the spring extension is 15 m

<u>In spring B</u>

Force, F=60N and spring constant , k=5N/m

To find the extension x apply the same expression

F=-kx\\\\60=-5*x\\\\60=-5x\\\\\\\frac{60}{-5} =\frac{-5x}{-5} \\\\\\-12=x

Here the extension on the spring is 12 m

<u>Compare</u>

The extension on spring A is 3 m longer than that in spring B because when you subtract the value of spring B from that in spring A you get 3m

=15m-12m=3m

A board is 60 centimeters long Kelly cut the board into two pieces with 14 centimeters longer than the other find the longer pie
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

44 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

So, it is asking what the bigger piece of the 60 cm board is. First you can divide it into two even pieces. That makes each piece 30 cm. but, it wants one of the two 14 cm bigger, right? So, now your going to add 14 cm to 30 cm, giving you 44 cm. But, if you do that then you will have to subtract 14 cm from the other board. That leaves you with the bigger board is 44 cm, and the smaller one is 16 cm.
