Spring A has a spring constant of 5 N/m and spring B has a force constant of 9 N/m. A weight of 2 kg is applied to spring A and

a weight of 10 kg is applied to spring B. Which of the following is true for the final displacements of springs A and B?
a) Spring B has a larger displacement than spring A. b) Spring A has a larger displacement than spring B. c) Spring A and spring B have the same displacement.

Answer: Option A.

Spring B has a larger displacement that spring A.

Explanation:

Spring B has a larger displacement that spring A .

By using Hooke's law.

F=-Kx

Where F is force, K is spring constant and x is displacement.

For spring a

Weight / force is 2 kg

Spring constant (K) is 5/nm

Therefore,

F=-Kx

2=-5x

X=2/-5

X= -0.4m

For spring B.

Weight is 10Kg

Spring constant is 9N/m

F=-Kx

10=-9x

X=-10/9

=-1.1m

Therefore Spring B have larger displacement than spring A.

In Hooke's law, negative sign that is present on the spring's force indicate that the force exerted by the spring opposes the spring's displacement.

How much work is done when a 4.0-newton box is carried horizontally a distance of 2.0 meters at a constant velocity?
monitta

Answer: Work done by the box will be 8 Joules.

Explanation:

Work done by a substance is the product of the force applied on it and the displacement of a substance.

Mathematically,

W=F.s

Where,

W = work done = ? J

F = Force applied = 4 N

s = displacement = 2 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

W=4N\times 2m=8Nm=8J

Hence, work done by the box will be 8 Joules.

A typical atomic polarizability is 1 × 10-40 (C·m)/(N/C). If the q in p = qs is equal to the proton charge e, what charge separa
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

s = 6.25 10⁻²² m

Explanation:

Polarizability is the separation of electric charges in a structure, in the case of the atom it is the result of the separation of positive charges in the nucleus and the electrons in their orbits, macroscopically it is approximated by

                p = q s

               s = p / q

let's calculate

              s = 1 10⁻⁴⁰ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

              s = 0.625 10⁻²¹ m

              s = 6.25 10⁻²² m

We see that the result is much smaller than the size of the atom, therefore this simplistic model cannot be taken to an atomic scale.
