A green plant has Chemical energy.

This chemical energy is stored as Chlorophyll which in turn reacts with sunlight and water, to form sugar through the process of Photosynthesis.

A spring hangs from the ceiling with an unstretched length of x 0 = 0.35 m . A m 1 = 6.3 kg block is hung from the spring, causi

Answer:

x₂=0.44m

Explanation:

First, we calculate the length the spring is stretch when the first block is hung from it:

$\Delta x_1=0.50m-0.35m=0.15m$

Now, since the stretched spring is in equilibrium, we have that the spring restoring force must be equal to the weight of the block:

$k\Delta x_1=m_1g$

Solving for the spring constant k, we get:

$k=\frac{m_1g}{\Delta x_1}\\\\k=\frac{(6.3kg)(9.8m/s^{2})}{0.15m}=410\frac{N}{m}$

Next, we use the same relationship, but for the second block, to find the value of the stretched length:

$k\Delta x_2=m_2g\\\\\Delta x_2=\frac{m_2g}{k}\\\\\implies \Delta x_2=\frac{(3.7kg)(9.8m/s^{2})}{410N/m}=0.088m$

Finally, we sum this to the unstretched length to obtain the length of the spring:

$x_2=0.35m+0.088m=0.44m$

In words, the length of the spring when the second block is hung from it, is 0.44m.
