a 4.60 kg mass is placed on top of a vertical spring, which compresses a distance of 2.31 cm. calculate the force constant (in n

/m) of the spring.

The restoring force of the spring cancels the weight of the mass, so by Newton's second law

∑ F = F[spring] - mg = 0   ⇒   F[spring] ≈ 45.1 N

where m = 4.60 kg and g = 9.80 m/s². Then the spring constant is k such that by Hooke's law,

F[spring] = k x

where x = 0.0231 m. Then the spring constant is

k = F[spring]/x ≈ 1950 N/m

What is a warming sign that suggest a weight loss plan is a fad diet rather than a healthy weight loss plan?
Serga [27]

Answer:

Warming signs before fad diet includes:

1. When a special type of diet is recommended for weight loss.

2. When quick weight loss is promised instead of advice on the need to exercise, eat healthy foods including fruits and vegetables, and adopt a good feeding behavior.

3. Promises rapid weight loss in a short period of time.

After taking the fad diet the following might be experienced:

1. Constipation.

2. Weakness and fatigue.

3. More accumulation of fats in the body in the long run after a short term normal  BMI (Body mass index).

4. Lower metabolic rates over time.

Explanation:

weight loss is a practice adopted by people for various reasons ranging from the desire to stay healthy to, ability to pursue a career that requires a good Body Mass Index. For instance, A BMI (Body mass index) which is equal to a person's weight (kg) / (height(m))^2 of 30 and higher is considered obese.

Fad diet which may give a temporary result of weight loss is not considered totally healthy as it doesn't capture the need to eat a healthy balanced diet instead focuses on more routine consumption of a particular kind of diet.

A healthy weight loss plan captures the need to exercise, reduce body fats while eating healthy. Eating fruits, vegetables are also encouraged.

A force of 125 N is applied to a 50 kg. Mass. What is the acceleration of the mass?
grandymaker [24]
The acceleration would be 2.5 m/sec^2
A= acceleration
F= force
M= mass
A = f/m
125N/50kg=2.5 m/s^2
