It is actually caused by the environment, so its false. :)
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
Answer:
Same frequency, shorter wavelength
Explanation:
The speed of a wave is given by
where,
f = Frequency
= Wavelength
It can be seen that the wavelength is directly proportional to the velocity.
Here the frequency of the sound does not change.
But the velocity of the sound in air is slower.
Hence, the frequency remains same and the wavelength shortens.
Answer:
Explanation:
Force between two charges is given by the following expression
F = 
Q₁ and Q₂ are two charges and d is distance between two.
.1 =
If Q₁ becomes three times , force will become 3 times . Hence force becomes .3 N in the first case.
Force F = .3 N
If charge becomes one fourth , force also becomes one fourth .
F= 
= .025 N.
