Answer:

Spring Constant

Explanation:

Hooke's law: The force required to squeeze or expand a spring by a distance (d) is directly proportional to the distance. It is given as,

F_{s} = K\times d

Here, K = spring constant.

It is measure of the stiffness of the spring. If we draw the graph of Force with respect to the distance it will be a linear plot passing through the origin. The slope of the plot will be equal to K.

So Hooke's law says that that law is proportional to how much I stretch the spring. Alright. So f=kx<span>. x is the length of the spring now minus its length when it's relaxed and nobody's pulling on it. k is a constant called the spring constant.</span>

If a force of 10 N acts on an object and an additional force of 6 N acts on the object in
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

For this kind of problem, forces add. F = F1 + F2

F1 = 6 N

F2 = 10 N

F = 6N + 10N

F = 16N

Which of the following results when a crest and trough meet?

D. Destructive interference. An easy way to think about it is the waves are opposite each other, so they essentially cancel each other out, or make an effort to.

What does -9.8 m/s mean? And what does it mean if something has a negative velocity?
a_sh-v [17]

I can't guess what -9.8 m/s means until you tell me where it came from,
or what 'm/s' means.

If perhaps it has something to do with the acceleration of gravity on Earth,
then the correct figure is ' -9.8 m/s² '.  That means that any object that
has no other force acting on it except gravity has its speed changing by
9.8 meters per second every second.  Since it's gravity doing the job,
then the object's speed is either increasing down, or decreasing up. 

If an object has negative velocity, then it's moving in the direction opposite
to the direction that you decided to call positive when you started doing the
problem.

For example, if you decide that up is positive and down is negative, and
then somebody drops a stone from the top of a tall building, then the
gravitational force on the stone is negative (pointing down), its velocity
is negative (it's falling towards down), and its acceleration is negative (its
speed towards down is getting faster and faster).  Everything is negative,
only because you decided that up is positive and down is negative.  It's
nothing to be worried about.
