Answer: The spring constant is K=392.4N/m
Explanation:
According to hook's law the applied force F will be directly proportional to the extension e produced provided the spring is not distorted
The force F=ke
Where k=spring constant
e= Extention produced
h=2m
Given that
e=20cm to meter 20/100= 0.2m
m=100g to kg m=100/1000= 0.1kg
But F=mg
Ignoring air resistance
assuming g=9.81m/s²
Since the compression causes the plastic ball to poses potential energy hence energy stored in the spring
E=1/2ke²=mgh
Substituting our values to find k
First we make k subject of formula
k=2mgh/e²
k=2*0.1*9.81*2/0.1²
K=3.921/0.01
K=392.4N/m
1.5 / 0.5 = 3 I believe this is the right answer
Big bang happened about 13.7 billion years ago in our universe.
<h3>
Describe the beginning of the universe according to the big bang theory?</h3>
According to the big bang theory, about 13.7 billion years ago, an explosive expansion began, expanding our universe outwards faster than the speed of light.
<h3>Describe the future of the universe according to the flat model?</h3>
According to the flat model, the universe is infinite and will continue to expand forever because the universe is expanding.
<h3>What is cosmic background radiation? </h3>
Cosmic background radiation is a weak radio-frequency radiation that is traveling through outer space in every direction. It is the residual radiation of the big bang, when the universe was very hot.
<h3>How do observations of the cosmic background radiation provide evidence to support the big bang theory? </h3>
The Big Bang theory predicts that the early universe was a very hot place and that as it expands, the gas within it cools. Thus the universe has all over radiation which is called the “cosmic microwave background".
