A 20-newton weight is attached to a spring.

Physics
1 answer:
Makovka662 [10]3 years ago
8 0

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

k=\frac {F}{k}

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

k=\frac {20}{0.5}=40 N/m

Witch is true according to the law of conservation of energy?
Elanso [62]

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy is one of the fundamental laws of science that helps to understand energy in nature.

Energy is the ability to do work. There are different forms of energy.

Generally, energy is classified into potential and kinetic forms of energy. Potential energy is the energy at rest in a body. It is due to the position of the body.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

There are different forms of kinetic and potential energy and they are related by the law of conservation of energy.

The law states that "in an isolated system, energy is neither created nor destroyed by transformed from one form to another".

An isolated system is a system in which there is no exchange of matter and energy.

Due to this we know that no new energy is created or destroyed, they are only transformed from one form to the other.

What are the visible and invisible forms of moisture in the air?
Usimov [2.4K]
The invisible form is water vapor that is microscopic and found all around us. When the air is really hot you can see this water vapor above ground as if it's moving. The visible form is either water droplets that fall down as rain, or it's the clouds that are basically a form of moisture that is iced up because it's very cold so it condensed and formed a cloud.

Whenever a musician plays a guitar, they pluck one of the guitar strings to produce a standing wave in the string. Then pinch do
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

It's due to the distance from either ends of strings origin...

Explanation:

As we know that waves behave moving in a flow from one side to another side and this gives a prospective of motion. Suppose a wave is pinched from the near one end of a guitar then due to the distortion created by the point of tie of strings the wave super imposes and moves with a velocity v and produces a wave frequency f. as we the pinching go down to the center the wave stabilizes itself to a stationary origin right at the center and the frequency then changes accordingly as moving down on the string.
