You can try to explain it by using a parallel between their and your societies .
Without a bulb energy cant go through and it would be an open circuit blocking the energy from coming out.
You don't convert kilograms to newtons. By the time you've heard of these units, you know that 'kilogram' is a unit of mass, 'newton' is a unit of force or weight, and that mass and weight are different things.
Mass and force are <u>related</u> by Newton's second law:
Force = Mass x acceleration .
From this simple formula, you can see that in order to relate a mass to a force, you need to know an acceleration. And if the acceleration changes, then the relationship between the force and the mass also changes. So there's no direct conversion.
ON EARTH ONLY, one kilogram of mass <em>weighs</em> 9.8 newtons. The acceleration that connects them is the acceleration of gravity on Earth. In other places, with different gravitational accelerations, 1 kilogram weighs more or less newtons.
But they don't convert directly. That would be like asking "How do you convert miles to miles-per-hour ?"
<u>Answer;</u>
<em>Spring constant </em>
<u>Explanation;</u>
The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the <u>spring constant</u>.
- The symbol of spring constant is K, since it is a constant. From the Hooke's law,for a helical spring or any elastic material, the extension force is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
- Therefore; the spring constant = Force/extension. That is; K = F/e; where k is the spring constant, F is the extension force and e is the extension.
- Spring constant depicts the resistance of the spring to compressional and stretching forces.
First of all, that equation is not correct, which may be the reason
that you're having trouble assigning units to the quantities.
Power is defined as [energy / time], so [Energy] = [ power x time ],
and
[Time] = [ energy / power ].
Unit-wise, these equations are correct just as they appear here,
with no proportionality constants or conversion factors, when ...
[ Power ] = watts
[ Energy ] = joules
[ Time ] = seconds .
