An ideal spring is hung vertically from the ceiling. The spring constant is k = 125 N/m. A block of mass m = 650 g (1000 g = 1 k

g) is then attached to the free end and block extends the spring under its weight until it stops moving. Calculate the maximum extension of the spring due to the block. (Hint: when the system comes to equilibrium, the net force on the block must be zer0.)

Answer:

0.102 m

Explanation:

k = spring constant of the spring = 125 N/m

m = mass of the block attached to the spring = 650 g = 0.650 kg

x = maximum extension of the spring

h = height dropped by the block = x

Using conservation of energy

Spring potential energy gained = Gravitational potential energy lost

(0.5) k x² = mgh

(0.5) k x² = mgx

(0.5) (125) x = (0.650) (9.8)

x = 0.102 m

What are two different ways to understand time? Explain and give examples.
Maru [420]
There are two different ways to understand time and these are:
A. What time is it?
B. How much time?
The examples of these two different ways are:
A. What time is it? The best example that would help us understand and know what time are the clock and the calendar. This gives us the exact hour, minutes and seconds. The calendar tells us the exact day, month and year.
B. How much time? This makes us understand how much time did it take from the starting time. An example for this would be a stopwatch.

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance? If we
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to ohm's law, the relationship between voltage, resistance, and current is that current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage over resistance.

Mathematically,           I = \frac{V}{R}

From this relationship we can see that when we decrease the voltage, and do not change the resistance, the current will also decrease. As current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.
