Answer:
271.862 N/m
Explanation:
From Hook's Law,
mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1
Where
m = mass of the ball, g = acceleration due to gravity, k = spring constant, e = extension, h = height fro which the ball was dropped.
Making k the subject of the equation,
k =2mgh/k²....................... Equation 2
Note: The potential energy of the ball is equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring.
Given: m = 60.3 g = 0.0603 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², e = 4.68317 cm = 0.0468317 m, h = 53.7 cm = 0.537 m
Substitute into equation 2
k = 2(0.0603)(9.8)(0.537)/0.048317²
k = 0.6346696/0.0023345
k = 271.862 N/m
Answer:
Explanation:
A combination of two controlled variables will make an experiment the most reliable.
Variables are the values that we take under any circumstance while doing an experiment so that we can keep on changing and get new results at the end.
It is important to have them in pair so that two values can be kept on changing in terms of any constant condition. This will help to get better results in over all experiment data.
