<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.

In a lab, the mass of object a is 52 kg. object a weighs
aksik [14]
If you are asking for the weight then the formula is F=mg where f is weight m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity.m=52kg and g=9.8m/s2(the gravity of earth)
F=52*9.8=509.6
therefore the weight of the object is 509.6N

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between a 22 kg kg crate and the floor is 0.27, what horizontal force is required to move
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

58.27 N

Explanation:

the data we have is:

mass: m=22kg

coefficient of friction: \mu =0.27

and we also know the acceleration of gravity is g=9.81m/s^2

We need to do an analysis of horizontal and vertical forces acting on the object:

-------

Vertically the forces acting on the object:

  • Normal force N (acting up from the object)
  • weight: w=mg (acting down from)

so the sum of forces in the vertical axis "y" are:

F_{y}=N-w\\F_{y}=N-mg

from Newton's second Law we know that F=ma, so:

ma_{y}=N-mg

and since the object is not accelerating in the vertical direction (the movement is only horizontal) a_{y}=0, and:

0=N-mg\\N=mg

-----------

now let's analyze the horizontal forces

  • frictional force: f= \mu N and since N=mg  --> f=\mu mg
  • force to move the object: F

and the two forces just mentioned must be opposite, thus the sum of forces in the "x" axis is:

F=ma_{x}=F-f\\ma_{x}=F-\mu mg

and we are told that the crate moves at a steady speed, thus there is no acceleration: a_{x}=0

and we get:

0=F-\mu mg\\F=\mu mg

substituting known values:

F=(0.27)(22kg)(9.81m/s^2)\\F=58.27N

What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in the stratosphere? (2 points).
stealth61 [152]
As altitude increases, temperature increases. The stratosphere is the part of the atmosphere that starts in the tropopause and ends in the estratopause. In the troposphere, the air is close to the Earth surface. The air surface can absorb more sunlight energy than the air, so the Earth surface heats the air. As you go higher, the distance to the Earth surface is higher, so the temperature is lower. The troposphere ends in the tropopause, where this trend changes. In the estratopause, there is a lot of ozone, which absorbs the dangerous UV radiation and converts into heat. That heat warms the air. So the air which is close to the estratopause is warm because of the heat released by the ozone reactions. The tropopause is far from the Earth surface and far from the ozone layer, that’s why it is cold. So the tropopause is cold and the estratopause is warm, which means: the air becomes warmer <span>as you rise above the tropopause until you get to the estratopause.</span>
