Imagine a car crash. A car coming at a high speed has a head on collision with a car at rest. When the car makes impact, it will move the other car with it at a slower speed then it was travelling at. In this case, the velocity decreased since the car slowed down, but the mass increased since there are now two cars moving. Momentum was conserved because the change in mass accounts for the loss of velocity.

A student carried out an experiment adding different weights to a spring and recording the results. Look at the table of results
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

0.25 m.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the spring constant of the spring.

From the diagram, we shall used any of the weight with the corresponding extention to determine the spring constant. This is illustrated below:

Force (F) = 0.1 N

Extention (e) = 0.125 m

Spring constant (K) =?

F = Ke

0.1 = K x 0.125

Divide both side by 0.125

K = 0.1/0.125

K = 0.8 N/m

Therefore, the force constant, K of spring is 0.8 N/m

Now, we can obtain the number in gap 1 in the diagram above as follow:

Force (F) = 0.2 N

Spring constant (K) = 0.8 N/m

Extention (e) =..?

F = Ke

0.2 = 0.8 x e

Divide both side by 0.8

e = 0.2/0.8

e = 0.25 m

Therefore, the number that will complete gap 1is 0.25 m.
