If a spring has a spring constant of 2 N/m and it is stretched 5 cm, what is the force of the spring?

Physics
1 answer:
Lerok [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

0.1 N

Explanation:

Considering that Hooke's law, F=xk where k is the spring constant in N/m, x is extension in meters, F is spring force in N.

Converting the given extension from cm to m, we divide by 100 hence 5/100=0.05 m

Substituting 0.05 m for x and 2 N/m for k then the spring force will be

F=2*0.05=0.1 N

A 12kg cheetah accelerates 24 m/s". What is the force the cheetah needed to run?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

288N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Cheetah = 12kg

Acceleration  = 24m/s²

Unknown:

Force needed by the cheetah to run  = ?

Solution:

The force needed by the Cheetah to run is the net force.

According to Newton's law;

    Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the given parameters and solve;

   Force  = 12 x 24  = 288N

How is the magnetic force on a particle moving in a magnetic field different from gravitational and electric forces.
harina [27]

Answer:

The magnetic force on a free moving charge depends on the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field, direction of the force is given by the right hand rule. While gravitational depends on the mass and distance of the moving particle and electric forces depends on the magnitude of the charge and distance of separation.

Explanation:

The magnetic force on a free moving charge depends on the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field and direction of the force is given by the right hand rule. While gravitational depends on the mass and distance of the moving particle and electric forces depends on the magnitude of the charge and distance of separation.

The magnetic force is given by the charge times the vector product of velocity and magnetic field. While gravitational force is given by the square of the particle mass divided by the square its distance of separation. Also electric forces is given by the square of the charge magnitude divided by the square its distance separation.

What type of energy is formed when an object encounters friction?​
kiruha [24]

Answer:

thermal energy

Friction does negative work and removes some of the energy the person expends and converts it to thermal energy. The net work equals the sum of the work done by each individual force. The forces acting on the package are gravity, the normal force, the force of friction, and the applied force.

A carbon resistor is to be used as a thermometer. On a winter day when the temperature is 4.00°C, the resistance of the carbon r
dusya [7]

Answer:

28 degree C

Explanation:

We are given that

T_1=4.00^{\circ}

R_1=217.7 \Ohm

R_2=215.1\Ohm

\alpha=-5.00\times 10^{-4}C^{-1}

We have to find the temperature on a spring day when resistance is 215.1 ohm.

We know that

\alpha(T_2-T_1)=\frac{R_2}{R_2}-1

Using the formula

-5.00\times 10^{-4}(T_2-4)=\frac{215.1}{217.7}-1

-5\times 10^{-4}(T_2-4)=0.988-1=-0.012

T_2-4=\frac{0.012}{5\times 10^{-4}}=24

T_2=24+4=28^{\circ}C

Hence, the temperature  on a spring day 28 degree C.
