Recall that in the equilibrium position, the upward force of the spring balances the force of gravity on the weight is given below.
Explanation:
Measure unstretched length of spring, L. E.g. L = 0.60m.
Set mass to a convenient value (e.g. m = 0.5kg).
Hang mass.
Measure new spring length, L'. E.g. L' = 0.70m.
Calculate extension: e = L' - L = 0.70 – 0.60 = 0.10m
Use mg = ke (in equilibrium weight = tension)
k = mg/e
Don't know what value you are using for example. Suppose it is 10N/kg (same thing as 10m/s²).
k = 0.5*10/0.10 = 50 N/m
Repeat for a few different masses. (L always stays the same.)
Take the average of your k values.
Answer:4.05 s
Explanation:
Given
First stone is drop from cliff and second stone is thrown with a speed of 52.92 m/s after 2.7 s
Both hit the ground at the same time
Let h be the height of cliff and it reaches after time t

For second stone
---2
Equating 1 &2 we get





Thermal energy in the form of fire is generated by the combustion of fuel. Due to the tendency of hot air to rise upward, the heat generated rises to fill the space of the balloon. One this space is full of trapped hot air, the heat's tendency to rise causes the hot air balloon to be lifted into the air.
Answer:
Explanation:
Since the front and back of the rocket simultaneously line up with forward and backward end of the platform respectively .
Then length of the platform = length of the train rocket .
A )
Time to cross a particular point on the platform
= length of rocket train / .96 x 3 x 10⁸
= 90 / .96 x 3 x 10⁸
= 31.25 x 10⁻⁸ s
B) Rest length of the rocket = length of platform = 90 m
C ) length of platform as viewed by moving observer =

= 
= 321 m
D ) For the observer on platform time taken = 31.25 x 10⁻⁸ s
for the observer in the rocket , time will be dilated so time recorded by observer in motion ,
8.75 x 10⁻⁸ s .
