Answer: The spring constant is K=392.4N/m

Explanation:

According to hook's law the applied force F will be directly proportional to the extension e produced provided the spring is not distorted

The force F=ke

Where k=spring constant

e= Extention produced

h=2m

Given that

e=20cm to meter 20/100= 0.2m

m=100g to kg m=100/1000= 0.1kg

But F=mg

Ignoring air resistance

assuming g=9.81m/s²

Since the compression causes the plastic ball to poses potential energy hence energy stored in the spring

E=1/2ke²=mgh

Substituting our values to find k

First we make k subject of formula

k=2mgh/e²

k=2*0.1*9.81*2/0.1²

K=3.921/0.01

K=392.4N/m

13. A transformer has a primary coil with 600 turns and a secondary coil with 300 turns. If the output voltage is 320 volts, wha
vivado [14]
His is a step down transformer since n(primary) is greater than n(seconcary). You relate the input voltage with the ouput voltage with the following equation: 

<span>Vout = n2/n1*Vin (n2/n1 is essentially your 'transfer function' that dictates what a specified input would produce) </span>

<span>Solving the equation: </span>

<span>Vin = Vout*n1/n2 = (320V)*(600/300) = 640 V </span>

<span>This is checked by seeing if Vin is greater than Vout, which it is for a step down transformer.</span>

Why is Sir Francis Bacon sometimes referred to as "The Father of Modern Science"?
julsineya [31]

He proposed the scientific method. He thought it was best to base a theory on observation instead of think of a theory and then try to prove it. So the answer would be A.
