What happens when you push a spring? How is this different than pulling it? (Hooke’s Law)

A spring is an object that can be deformed by a force and then return to its original shape after the force is removed.Springs come in a huge variety of different forms, but the simple metal coil spring is probably the most familiar. Springs are an essential part of almost all moderately complex mechanical devices; from ball-point pens to racing car engines.

When you push a spring you are putting force on it, or rather forcing the spring onto its self. This is different than pulling the spring because when you push it and let go it will spring but if you pull it its would not move as far as it would if you push it. Pulling the spring would most likely deform the spring will pushing it would cause it to spring back into place.

<u>Hooke's law states that the force that extends or compresses a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance.</u>

You pull with a force of 295 N on a rope that is attached to a block of mass 22 kg, and the block slides across the floor at a c
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Fnet = 0

Explanation:

  • Since the block slides across the floor at constant speed, this means that it's not accelerated.
  • According Newton's 2nd Law, if the acceleration is zero, the net force on the sliding mass must be zero.
  • This means that there must be a friction force opposing to the horizontal component of the applied force, equal in magnitude to it:

       F_{appx} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * cos 35 = 242 N  (1)

  • In the vertical direction, the block is not accelerated either, so the sum of the normal force and the vertical component of the applied force, must be equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the block:

      F_{appy} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * sin 35 = 169 N  (2)

⇒    169 N + Fn = Fg = 216 N  (3)

  • This means that there must be a normal force equal to the difference between Fappy and Fg, as follows:
  • Fn = 216 N - 169 N = 47  N (4)

If X be a vector 3 X represents  3 added to X  3 times of X  the ratio of X and 3  None
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

3 times of X

Explanation:

The algebraic properties of a vector are;

Multiplicative identity for real numbers 1

1P = P for each P

Scalar associative property = r(sP) = (rs)P

Scalar distributive property (r + s)P = rP + sP

Vector distributive property r(P + Q) = rP + rQ

Additive inverse of a vector such that a vector P has an inverse -P such that we have;

P + (-P) = 0

Vector associative property (P + Q) + R = P + (Q + R)

Vector commutative property P + Q = Q + P.
