Fish are hung on a spring scale to determine their mass (most fishermen feel no obligation to report the mass truthfully). (a) W

hat is the force constant (in N/m) of the spring in such a scale if it stretches 8.50 cm for a 12.0 kg load?

7 0

Answer:

1411.8 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law;

F= Ke

Where

F= force on the spring

K= force constant

e = extension

But e= 8.50 × 10^-2m

F= weight = 12.0 kg × 10 = 120 N

K = F/e = 120/8.50 × 10^-2

K= 1411.8 N/m

1. Impulse is the product of force and distance. True or false?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Impulse, I = F.t

  The statement impulse is the product of Force and distance is false.

2. F = m g

   Force necessary to lift the object depends on the mass of the object.

   statement 2 is false.

3. Joule is equal to Newton times meter.

    Statement 3 is false.

4. Work done to lift an object is correct statement.

   Statement 4 is true.

5. Kinetic energy of an object is due to motion.

  Statement 5 is false.

6. Stopping distance is directly proportional to the square of velocity.

     If velocity is doubled, stopping distance is quadrupled.

    Statement 6 is false.
