In the first case, the force acting on the spring is the weight of the mass:
This force causes a stretching of
on the spring, so we can use these data to find the spring constant:
In the second case, the first mass is replaced with a second mass, whose weight is
And since we know the spring constant, we can calculate the new elongation of the spring:
Answer:
graph A
Explanation:
the slope of the distance-time graph is speed, speed is a scalar (with magnitudes but no direction)
but the slope for the velocity time graph is acceleration, acceleration is vector quantity ( has magnitude and direction)
Answer:
1kg
Explanation:
this box is the smallest and weighs the least. Hope this helps :]
The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.
Gravitational potential energy stored in an object is the work done in raising the object to a height <em>h</em> against the gravitational force acting on it.
The gravitational force acting on a body is its weight mg, where m is its mass and g, the acceleration due to gravity.
Work done by a force is equal to the product of the force and the displacement made by the point of application of the force.
The weight of the object is given as 20 J and it is raised to a height of 5 m.
The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.
