A mass on a spring that has been compressed 0.1 m has a restoring force of 20 N. What is the spring constant?

1 answer:

6 0

<h2>When a mass on a spring that has been compressed 0.1 m has a restoring force of 20 N , then the value of spring constant (k) :- </h2><h2>200 N/m</h2>

Explanation:

Spring Constant :

According to Hooke's law, The force required to compress or extends spring is directly proportional to the distance it is compressed or stretched.

Given

x = -0.1 m

F = 20 N

F - -kx

k = -f/x

= -20 / -0.1 = 200 N/m

The value of spring constant is 200 N/m.

sledge (including load) weighs 5000 N. It is pulled on level snow by a dog team exerting ahorizontal force on it. The coeﬃcient

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

2.5 x 10^{5} J

Explanation:

weight = 5,000 N

coefficient of friction = 0.05

distance = 1000 m

how much work is done by the dogs pulling the sledge

work done = force x coefficient of friction x distance

work done = 5000 x 0.05 x 1000 = 2.5 x 10^{5} J

What is the repulsive force between two pith balls that are 8.00 cm apart and have equal charges of – 30.0 nC?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$F=1.26*10^{-3}N$

Explanation:

Assuming the pith balls as point charges, we can calculate the repulsive force between them, using Coulomb's law:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

We observe that the magnitude of the electric force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both signed charges( $q_1,q_2$ ) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d) that separates them.
