<em>Hi there !</em>
<em>Acceleration formula</em>
<em>a = (v₂ - v₁)/t</em>
<em />
<em>a = (26.8m/s - 24.8m/s)/4.3s</em>
<em>= (2m/s)/4.3s</em>
<em>≈ 0.47 m/s²</em>
<em>Good luck !</em>
A) 1153 N/m
We can find the spring constant by using Hooke's law:
where
F is the force applied to the spring
k is the spring constant
x is the displacement of the spring
In this problem, a fish of mass m = 4.0 kg is hanging on the spring, so the force applied is the weight of the fish:
and the displacement of the spring is:
so, the spring constant is
B) 16.8 cm
In this case, a fish of mass
m = 8.0 kg
is hanging on the spring. Therefore, the force applied to the spring is
So we can find the displacement of the spring:
And since the equilibrium length of the spring is
the new length of the spring will be
False, neutrons and protons are larger
False because -2 occurs twice
