Answer:

The value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m

Explanation:

Given;

equilibrium length of the spring, L = 10.0 cm

new length of the spring, L₀ = 14 cm

applied force on the spring, F = 40 N

extension of the spring due to applied force, e = L₀ - L = 14 cm - 10 cm = 4 cm

From Hook's law

Force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension produced, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.

F ∝ e

F = ke

where;

k is the spring constant

k = F / e

k = 40 / 0.04

k = 1000 N/m

Therefore, the value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m

Alenkinab [10]
Make Neptune closer to the sun because then it would have a stronger gravitation pull. Because the closer the objects are, they will have a stronger gravitaional force and when the object has more mass, the gravity is also stronger. So, if the mass is reduced, the gravity force would be reduced, but if you bring neptune closer, the gravity force would increase

Suppose that instead of a long straight wire, a shortstraight wire was used. The distance from the wire to thepoint that the mag
vichka [17]

Answer:

Thus, if field were sampled at same distance, the field due to short wire is greater than field due to long wire.

Explanation:

The magnetic field, B of long straight wire can be obtained by applying ampere's law

B= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}

I is here current, and r's the distance from the wire to the field of measurement.

The magnetic field is obviously directly proportional to the current wire. From this expression.

As the resistance of the long cable is proportional to the cable length, the short cable becomes less resilient than the long cable, so going through the short cable (where filled with the same material) is a bigger amount of currents. If the field is measured at the same time, the field is therefore larger than the long wire because of the short wire.
