Answer:

Spring constant, k = 321.42 N/m

Explanation:

Force acting on spring, F = 45 N

Displacement caused due to stretching, x = 0.14 m

Using Hooke's law :

$F=-kx$

Where

k is the spring constant

$k=\dfrac{F}{x}$

$k=\dfrac{45\ N}{0.14\ m}$

k = 321.42 N/m

Hence, this is the required solution.

According to Hooke's law, Force = spring constant x displacement of the spring. Spring constant = Force/displacement in spring = 45/0.14 = 321.42 N/m. Hope this helps!

How can you measure the distance an object has moved?

Naily [24]

You must observe the object twice.

-- Look at it the first time, and make a mark where it is.

-- After some time has passed, look at the object again, and
make another mark at the place where it is.

-- At your convenience, take out your ruler, and measure the
distance between the two marks.

What you'll have is the object's "displacement" during that period
of time ... the distance between the start-point and end-point.
Technically, you won't know the actual distance it has traveled
during that time, because you don't know the route it took.

A 100-kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height h = 2RE .

maria [59]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,

$F_g = F_c$

$\frac{GmM}{r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where,

m = Mass of spacecraft

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius (Orbit)

G = Gravitational Universal Music

v = Velocity

Re-arrange to find the velocity

$\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$\frac{GM}{r} = v^2$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.97*10^{24})}{3*(6.371*10^6)}}$
