A 20-newton weight is attached to a spring.
1 answer:
Answer:
40 N/m
Explanation:
The diagram attached is used to answer the question
We know from Hooke's law that extension is directly proportional to the applied force hence
F=kx where x is extension, F is applied force and k is the spring constant. Making k the subject of the formula then
From the attached diagram extension is given by subtracting unstretched spring from stretched spring hence extension, x=1-0.5=0.5m
Substituting 20 N for F and 0.5 m for x then

This is a uniform rectilinear motion (MRU) exercise.
To start solving this exercise, we obtain the following data:
<h3><u>Data:</u></h3>- v = 4.6 m/s
- d = ¿?
- t = 10 sec
To calculate distance, speed is multiplied by time.
We apply the following formula: d = v * t.
We substitute the data in the formula: the <u>speed is equal to 4.6 m/s,</u> the <u>time is equal to 10 s</u>, which is left as follows:
Therefore, the speed at 10 seconds is 46 meters.
