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.

Answer:

"the force of attraction between two objects"

Explanation:

According to Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, gravity is a force of attraction acting between objects that possess mass. The fact that we only observe gravitational attraction (as opposed to repulsion) makes gravity unique among the known forces.

A slingshot fires a pebble from the top of a building at a speed of 15.0 m/s. The building is 30.0 m tall. Ignoring air resistan

Answer:

V=28.5m/s

b=V=28.5m/s

c=V=28.5m/s

Explanation:

A slingshot fires a pebble from the top of a building at a speed of 15.0 m/s. The building is 30.0 m tall. Ignoring air resistance, find the speed with which the pebble strikes the ground when the pebble is fired.

(a) horizontally,

(b) vertically straight up,

(c) vertically straight down.

u=15m/s

yi=30m

v=?

yf=0

system=pebble+earth

workdone=0

chnage in energy=0

ki+Ui=Kf+Ui

K=kinetic energy

U=potential energy

1/2mv^2+mgyf=1/2mu^2+mgyi

V^2=u^2+2gyi

V= $\sqrt{15^2+2*9.81*30}$

V=28.5m/s

b. and c will be the same as a. because the magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the velocity and not the magnitude which the pebble is tilted at
