Hook's law states that:
(1)
where
F is the force exerted on the spring
k is the spring constant
is the stretching/compression of the spring
In this problem:
- The force exerted on the spring is equal to the weight of the block attached to the spring:

- The stretching of the spring is

Solving eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:

(b) 17.5 cm
If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is

And so, the stretch of the spring is

And since the initial lenght of the spring is

The final length will be

Mass is how heavy is it, weight is the size both are the same
Average speed of the car is 11 m/s
Explanation:
- Speed is calculated by the rate of change of displacement.
- It is given by the formula, Speed = Distance/Time
- Here, distance = 2155 m and time = 195.9 s
Speed of the car = 2155/195.9 = 11 m/s
The electromagnetic spectrum is traditionally divided into regions of radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x rays, and gamma rays. ... Wavelength defines the distance between adjacent points of the electromagnetic wave that are in equal phase (e.g., wavecrests)
Velocity is define as the time rate taken for a change in acceleration
