A weight of 4.0 N is used to extend a spring. The extension of the spring is 0.06 m. (i) Calculate the spring constant, k, of the spring. (ii) State what measurements should be made to determine the extension of the spring produced by the 4.0 N weight.

See explanation

Explanation:

Hookes law states that; the displacement due to a stretching force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the deforming force.

F = ke

F = deforming force

k = force constant

e = extention

k = F/e

k = 4N/0.06 m= 66.67 Nm^-1

To determine the extension of the spring produced by the 4.0 N weight

1) We measure the original length of the spring

2) We measure the length after hanging the 4 N mass

3) Subtract the new length from the original length to determine the extention.

the first american roller coaster was the mauch chunk switchback railway, built in the mountains of pennsylvania in the mid-1800s. the track, originally built to send coal to a railway, was reconfigured as a "scenic tour."

we're given that v₀ = 0 and a = 5.4 m/s². therefore, since v = at + v₀ for constant acceleration the equation for velocity is

after 28s,

m/s

which i would round to 150 m/s as my final answer
