A spring has a natural length of 20cm. When a load of 50 N is applied, the spring becomes 22cm long in all. a) How great an extension does the 50 N force cause? b) If the spring obeys Hooke’s Law, what extension would you expect if a force of 150 N is applied to it? c) What will be the total length of the spring under that 150 N force?
It takes 2.60 s for a small ball with a mass of 0.060 kg released from rest from a tall building to reach the ground. Calculate the height from which the ball is released. If that ball had been released from the same height, but this time from the surface of the moon, how long would it have taken for the ball to hit the ground?
