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

If AC = 20 centimeters, and BC = 16 centimeters, which does AB equal?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The answer is B. 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC is a right triangle

AB and BC are the legs and AC is the hypotenuse.

The Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2 can be manipulated to solve for a and get 12.

1. Sarah went to the farmers market because she needed 5 more apples for her Granny’s jam recipe. The recipe calls for 32 apples
ella [17]
5+x=32
x= the number of apples Sarah had before
5+x=32
subtract 5 from both sides
x=27
