So, the recovery force of the spring is <u>2 N in the opposite direction of the pull</u>.

<h3>Introduction</h3>

Hi ! Here, I will help you about the spring recovery force. <u>The restoring force is the force that opposes the direction of the initial pull of the spring (either when the spring is pulled horizontally or vertically)</u>. The restoring force is strongly influenced by the type of spring (through the spring constant) and the length of the strain that occurs. Negative values in spring restoring force only indicate direction, not value. The equation that applies is as follows:

If the spring is pulled horizontally

\boxed{\sf{\bold{F = - k \times \Delta x}}}

With the following condition :

  • F = recovery force (N)
  • k = spring constant (N/m)
  • \sf{\Delta x} = horizontal length change (m)

If the spring is pulled vertically

\boxed{\sf{\bold{F = - k \times \Delta y}}}

With the following condition :

  • F = recovery force (N)
  • k = spring constant (N/m)
  • \sf{\Delta y} = vertical length change (m)

<h3>Problem Solving</h3>

We know that :

  • Assume the spring is pulled horizontally
  • k = spring constant = 4 N/m
  • \sf{\Delta x} = horizontal length change = 0.5 m

What was asked :

  • F = recovery force = ... N

Step by step :

\sf{F = - k \times \Delta x}

\sf{F = - 4 \times 0.5}

\boxed{\sf{F = -2 \: N}}

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

So, the recovery force of the spring is 2 N in the opposite direction of the pull.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

A) T.

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the orbital period (T) of a satellite is related with the radius (R) and the mass of the object (M) it orbits:

T=\frac{2\pi R^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}  

So the orbital period is independent of the mass of the satellite, that means no matter the mass every satellite at a radius R around the earth have an orbital period A.

Describe the agronomic significance of the upper and lower plastic limits, and of the plasticity index?​
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:It shows the size of the range of the moisture contents at which the soil remains plastic. In general, the plasticity index depends only on the amount of clay present. It indicates the fineness of the soil and its capacity to change shape without altering its volume.

The force on the spring is F0 and it stores elastic potential energy PEs0. If the spring displacement is tripled to 3x0, determi
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let initial extension in the spring= x₀

Force on the spring = F₀

Let spring constant = k

Fo = k x₀

Fn = 3k x₀

Fn /Fo = 3

PEs0 ( ORIGINAL)  =1/2 k x₀²

PEsn ( NEW)  =1/2 k (3x₀)²

PEsn / PEs0 = 9
