A spring has a length of 0.270 m when a 0.300 kg mass hangs from it, and a length of 0.750 m when a 2.80 kg mass hangs from it.

(a) What is the force constant (in N/m) of the spring?

Answer:

k  = 51.09 N/m

Explanation:

Given,

mass, m₁ = 0.3 Kg

length of spring, x₁ = 0.27 m

Mass, m₂ = 2.80 Kg

Length of spring, x₂ = 0.750

We know that

Restoring force, F = k x

Gravitation force, F = m g

Now,

m₁ g = k x₁ ......(1)

And

m₂ g = k x₂   .......(2)

where k is spring constant

Subtracting equation (2)- (1)

(m₂-m₁)g = k(x₂-x₁)

(2.8-0.3) x 9.81 = k (0.75 - 0.27)

24.525 = k x 0.48

k  = 51.09 N/m

Hence, spring constant is 51.09 N/m.

If you are pushing on a box with a force of 20 N and there is a 7 N force on the box due to sliding friction, what is the net fo
vovangra [49]

Answer:

13 N

Explanation:

The Net Force of an object should be the difference between the forces applied to the object if the object is not in equilibrium. This object is not in equilibrium so therefore by finding the difference between the forces, you will find your answer. 20 N - 7 N = 13 N.

Consider a current carrying a wire coming out of your computer screen towards you. Which statement below correctly describes the
Ugo [173]

Answer:

1. The magnetic field encircles the wire in a counterclockwise direction

Explanation:

When we have a current carrying wire perpendicular to the screen in which the current flows out of the screen then by the Maxwell's right-hand thumb rule we place the thumb of our right hand in the direction of the current and curl the remaining fingers around the wire, these curled fingers denote the direction of the magnetic field which is in the counter-clock wise direction.

Ever current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it.

What is the weight of an object with a mass of 6.0 kg on Earth?
gregori [183]
<h2>since weight is measured in newtons, convert the 6 kg to newtons</h2><h3>the formula to convert is kg x 9.807 = N</h3>
  • 6 x 9.807
  • = 58.842 N

hope that helps :))
