Consider two massless springs connected in parallel. Springs 1 and 2 have spring constants k1 and k2 and are connected via a thi
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

k1 + k2

Explanation:

Spring 1 has spring constant k1

Spring 2 has spring constant k2

After being applied by the same force, it is clearly mentioned that spring are extended by the same amount i.e. extension of spring 1 is equal to extension of spring 2.

x1 = x2

Since the force exerted to each spring might be different, let's assume F1 for spring 1 and F2 for spring 2. Hence the equations of spring constant for both springs are

k1 = F1/x -> F1 =k1*x

k2 = F2/x -> F2 =k2*x

While F = F1 + F2

Substitute equation of F1 and F2 into the equation of sum of forces

F = F1 + F2

F = k1*x + k2*x

= x(k1 + k2)

Note that this is applicable because both spring have the same extension of x (I repeat, EXTENTION, not length of the spring)

Considering the general equation of spring forces (Hooke's Law) F = kx,

The effective spring constant for the system is k1 + k2

A number written in scientific notation has the form a×10k, where 1≤a<10 and k is an integer, that is, k is one of ...−3,−2,−
Evgen [1.6K]

scientific notation is given as

a \times 10^k

here we know that

1 <  a < 10 and

k = whole number

now the number will be

N = 299,790,000

here we know that

N = 2.99 \times 10^8

so we have

a = 2.99

k = 8

You lift a 45-newton bag of mulch 1.2 meters and carry it a distance of 10 meters to the garden. How much 
zysi [14]
To lift the bag straight up takes (F · D) = (45 · 1.2) = 54 joules of energy (work).

Moving the bag horizontally 'across' gravity requires no work.
It doesn't matter how far.

True or False: Friction makes energy vanish. Explain your answer!
Sidana [21]
False because friction will generate heat energy and/or sound energy etc. Think of a car stopping or a broom sweeping the ground.
