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

A small rock quickly rolling down a hill because as the velocity or speed increases the particles in the rock start to increase kinetic energy. The particles start to act up and create more energy. Also because the small rock would go faster than a giant rock because of Newton's second law. Can I have brainliest pls?

How you can change the state of matter of the substance in the container.
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Change in the shape size volume and state of a substance

When a solid is heated, it turns into a liquid. As a liquid, a substance has a fixed volume, but its shape changes to fill the shape of its container. For instance, a glass of water is the liquid state of water. ... Gas expands to fill the shape and volume of its container.

The pressure on a volume of liquid V = 1.0 mº at the surface is approximately equal to the atmospheric pressure Patm = 1.00 x 10
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:-2.86*10⁻⁴

Explanation: Use the equation change in volume = (change in pressure * original volume) / Bulks Modulus. ΔV = (-Δp*V₀) / B

Plugging in your numbers, you should get ΔV = (-2.29*10⁷*1) / (8*10¹⁰) = -2.86*10⁻⁴

ΔP = P₂-P₁  ----> ΔP = 2.30*10⁷ - 1.00*10⁵ = 2.29*10⁷
