A certain spring stretches 3 cm when a load of 15 n is suspended from it. how much will the spring stretch if 30 n is suspended

from it (and it doesn't reach its elastic limit)?

Extension of the spring is 6 cm

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<em>Hooke's Law states that the length of a spring is directly proportional to the force acting on the spring.</em>

\boxed {F = k \times \Delta x}

<em>F = Force ( N )</em>

<em>k = Spring Constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>Δx = Extension ( m )</em>

\texttt{ }

The formula for finding Young's Modulus is as follows:

\boxed {E = \frac{F / A}{\Delta x / x_o}}

<em>E = Young's Modulus ( N/m² )</em>

<em>F = Force ( N )</em>

<em>A = Cross-Sectional Area ( m² )</em>

<em>Δx = Extension ( m )</em>

<em>x = Initial Length ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

initial extension of the spring = x = 3 cm

initial load = F = 15 N

final load = F' = 30 N

<u>Asked:</u>

final extension of the spring = x' = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will use </em><em>Hooke's Law</em><em> to solve this problem:</em>

F : F' = kx : kx'

F : F' = x : x'

15 : 30 = 3 : x'

1 : 2 = 3 : x'

x' = 2 \times 3

\boxed {x' = 6 \texttt{ cm}}

Initially, the spring stretches by 3 cm under a force of 15 N. From these data, we can find the value of the spring constant, given by Hook's law:
k= \frac{F}{\Delta x}
where F is the force applied, and \Delta x is the stretch of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position. Using the data, we find
k= \frac{15 N}{3.0 cm}=5.0 N/cm

Now a force of 30 N is applied to the same spring, with constant k=5.0 N/cm. Using again Hook's law, we can find the new stretch of the spring:
\Delta x =  \frac{F}{k}= \frac{30 N}{5.0 N/cm}=6 cm

Describe three pieces of evidence that support the Big Bang theory
lisov135 [29]

Explanation :

According to astronomers, the whole universe is started with a giant explosion called as Big Bang. Big Bang theory shows that the universe is  extended from high density state.

There are some evidence for big bang as :

(1) There are some red shifts of different galaxies which means that the universe is expanding.  

(2) Due to the expanding of universe, some of the new elements are created like hydrogen, deuterium etc.

(3) Microwaves are detected by orbiting detectors.

All this parameters shows that big bang theory was correct.

What is the speed of a wave with a frequency of 6 Hz and a wavelength of 12 m? No links
myrzilka [38]

72 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Frequency ( f ) = 6 Hz

Wavelength ( λ ) = 12 m

To find : -

Speed ( v ) = ?

Formula : -

v = f x λ

v

= 6 x 12

= 72 m/s

Therefore,

the speed of a wave with a frequency of 6 Hz and a wavelength of 12 m is 72 m/s.

Write a hypothesis about how the height of the cylinder affects the temperature of the water. Use the "if . . . then . . . becau
AnnyKZ [126]
The statement that can be used to answer this  question is:

"If the cylinder is brought higher then, its temperature when brought down becomes higher because a greater amount of potential energy is converted to thermal energy."

The potential energy is converted to thermal energy when the object is released the velocity becomes higher because of the acceleration due to gravity.
