A typical mattress has a network of springs that provide support. If you sit on a mattress, the springs compress. A heavier pers

on compresses the springs more than a lighter person. Use the properties of springs and spring forces to explain why.

Answer:

Explanation:

Spring has a tendency to store energy in them and deform its shape when force is applied on it. Once the applied force is removed it regains its original shape and size.

It is in helical shape and is used in mattress to give structure and support. Spring have elastic nature and follows spring forces, F = k * x

where is the applied force, k is the spring constant and x is the amount of extension.

When a heavier person sits on a mattress, more weight is applied on springs and they form coils, as weight is removed they regains its shape again.

Calculate the Force of Gravity acting on an object that has a mass of 1.3 kg. The object is on Earth so use 9.8m/s2 for the acce
sweet-ann [11.9K]
To calculate the gravitational force acting on an object given the mass and the acceleration due to gravity, use the following formula.

Fg = m • g
Fg = 1.3 kg • 9.8 m/s^2
Fg = 12.74 N or about 12.7 N.

The solution is C. 12.7 N.
