What are the physics terms behind watching TV?
GalinKa [24]
Everyone knows that one of their favorite past times is sitting in front of the television and watching movies, shows, or playing video games. However with this almost motionless, lazy activity comes a great deal of static physics and mechanics.

When you are sitting down enjoying whatever show it is you may be watching, you actually have several forces acting on you concurrently. For example, by sitting on the couch with no extra weight on you, your weight is equivalent to the normal force, or the force of the couch on you. In addition to the force of the couch of you, if you are leaning on an arm or laying down, a similar force acts on you, except at an angle or incline. The general rule for laying on the couch watching television is that whatever force you exert on an object, that object exerts the same force in the opposite direction, or 180 degrees around.

A force of 200 N stretches a spring 30 cm. What is the spring constant of the spring? How far would this spring stretch with a f
bija089 [108]

Hooke's Law

F = k. Δx

Δx = 30 cm = 0.3 m

200 = k . 0.3

\tt k =\dfrac{200}{0.3}= 666.6

the spring stretch for 100 N:

\tt \Delta x=\dfrac{100}{666.6}=0.15=15\:cm
