Answer:

0.48 N/cm

Explanation:

The original length is 10cm so with a force of 10cm, the extension will be 12.2-10=2.2 cm when force of 1N is exerted. Similarly, with a force of 3N, the extension is 16.4-10=6.4cm

The slope will be given by change in force/ change in extension and this is equivalent to the stiffness.

Change in force is 3-1=2 N

Change in exgension is 6.4-2.2=4.2 cm

The slope will be 2/4.2=0.4761904761904 N/cm

Rounded off, the slope is 0.48 N/cm and this is the stiffness of the spring.

A 4kg object has a momentum of 12 kg*m/s, what is the objects velocity?
Bezzdna [24]
Momentum = mass x velocity
12 = 4 x v | ÷ both sides by 4
12 ÷ 4 =v
v= 3 m/s

ANswer the question and give example: Can friction ever perform positive work?
Harman [31]
Yes. Think of block sitting on top of a bigger block. If the bottom block moves, it will drag the top block with it. Since the force of friction on the small block and its displacement are in the same direction, the "work" is positive. The static friction is a passive force, It is not a source of energy; it transmits the force placed on the bottom block. (And the "work" done by the friction on the bottom block is exactly the negative of the work done on the top block.)
