<span>F = kx, where F is the force we apply, k is the spring constant, and x is the extension of the material 
so the </span><span>spring's effective spring constant k is:
k = F / x
k = ( 110 kg ) ( 9.81 m/s^2) / 0.65 cm
k = 1660 N/cm  is the </span>spring's effective spring constant

Why forces are balanced and unbalanced? need help with this the lesson is tommorow
Naya [18.7K]
"Balanced" means that if there's something pulling one way, then there's also
something else pulling the other way. 

-- If there's a kid sitting on one end of a see-saw, and another one with the
same weight sitting on the other end, then the see-saw is balanced, and
neither end goes up or down.  It's just as if there's nobody sitting on it.

-- If there's a tug-of-war going on, and there are 300 freshmen pulling on one
end of a rope, and another 300 freshmen pulling in the opposite direction on
the other end of the rope, then the hanky hanging from the middle of the rope
doesn't move.  The pulls on the rope are balanced, and it's just as if nobody
is pulling on it at all.

-- If a lady in the supermarket is pushing her shopping cart up the aisle, and her
two little kids are in front of the cart pushing it in the other direction, backwards,
toward her.  If the kids are strong enough, then the forces on the cart can be
balanced. Then the cart doesn't move at all, and it's just as if nobody is pushing
on it at all.

From these examples, you can see a few things:

-- There's no such thing as "a balanced force" or "an unbalanced force".
It's a <em><u>group</u> of forces</em> that is either balanced or unbalanced.

-- The group of forces is balanced if their strengths and directions are
just right so that each force is canceled out by one or more of the others.

-- When the group of forces on an object is balanced, then the effect on the
object is just as if there were no force on it at all.

Consider the power dissipated in a series R–L–C circuit with R=280Ω, L=100mH, C=0.800μF, V=50V, and ω=10500rad/s. The current an
ki77a [65]

Answer:

0.28802

2.57162 W

14.28 W

53.55 W

6.07142 W

Explanation:

R = 280Ω

L = 100 mH

C = 0.800 μF

V = 50 V

ω = 10500rad/s

For RLC circuit impedance is given by

Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}\\\Rightarrow Z=\sqrt{R^2+(\omega L-\dfrac{1}{\omega C})^2}\\\Rightarrow Z=\sqrt{280^2+(10500\times 100\times 10^{-3}-\dfrac{1}{10500\times 0.8\times 10^{-6}})^2}\\\Rightarrow Z=972.1483\ \Omega

Power factor is given by

F=\dfrac{R}{Z}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{280}{972.1483}\\\Rightarrow F=0.28802

The power factor is 0.28802

The average power to the circuit is given by

P=\dfrac{V^2}{Z}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{50^2}{972.1483}\\\Rightarrow P=2.57162\ W

The average power to the circuit is 2.57162 W

Power to resistor

P_R=IR\\\Rightarrow P_R=5.1\times 10^{-2}\times 280\\\Rightarrow P_R=14.28\ W

Power to resistor is 14.28 W

Power to inductor

P_L=IX_L\\\Rightarrow P_L=5.1\times 10^{-2}\times 10500\times 100\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow P_L=53.55\ W

Power to the inductor is 53.55 W

Power to the capacitor

P_C=IX_C\\\Rightarrow P_C=5.1\times 10^{-2}\times \dfrac{1}{10500\times 0.8\times 10^{-6}}\\\Rightarrow P_C=6.07142\ W

The power to the capacitor is 6.07142 W

How do magnetic forces repel or attract?
Lerok [7]

“Magnets are surrounded by an invisible magnetic field that is made by the movement of electrons, the subatomic particles that circle the nucleus of an atom”



“Every magnet has both a north and a south pole. When you place the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another. When you place like poles of two magnets near each other (north to north or south to south), they will repel each other.”
