Answer:

40 N/m

Explanation:

F = -kx (This is the Hooke's Law equation)

F is the force the spring exerts = 8 N

-k = spring constant

x = displacement (The distance stretched past it's natural length) = 20cm

x needs to be in meters, and 20 cm is = to 0.2 meters

Finally:

8N = -k (0.2m)

-k = 8N / 0.2 m

k = -40 N/m

What force must be used to do 224 Joules of work on an object over a distance of 32 meters?

cestrela7 [59]

7.625 Newtons

work = force× distance
Newtons is an accepted value for force

so take the total 224 joules and decide by distance 32 meters to find force in Newtons

The law of conservation of matter states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. How is the law of conservation of mat

FromTheMoon [43]

The law of conservation of matter and energy relates to the cycles in nature, and by that it is also applied to rocks and other materials. All of the rock in the Earth is recycled and accounted for during the rock cycle. Rocks experience physical change, the composition of the material stays the same, it may just change how it looks and chemical changes occur (the suubstance undergoes a chemical reaction that changes the actual makeup of the substance).
