I might have did mistake with calculations but this is how you should do.
Answer:
191.36 N/m
Explanation:
From the question,
The Potential Energy of the safe = Energy of the spring when it was compressed.
mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1
Where m = mass of the safe, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height of the save above the heavy duty spring , k = spring constant, e = compression
Making k the subject of the equation,
k =2mgh/e²................ Equation 2
Given: m = 1100 kg, h = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, e = 0.52 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute into equation 2
k = 2(1100)(9.8)(0.0024)/0.52²
k = 51.744/0.2704
k = 191.36 N/m
Hence the spring constant of the heavy-duty spring = 191.36 N/m
Answer:
I think its 2. It would decrease
Explanation:
Hope this helps
As the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, if u add more heat you get more kinetic energy.
