The scale reads 28 n when the lower spring has been compressed by 2.2 cm . what is the value of the spring constant for the lower spring? express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Hooke's law:

where

F is the force applied to the spring

k is the spring constant

x is the compression/stretching of the spring

For the spring in the problem, we have

F = 28 N

x = 2.2 cm = 0.022 m

Solving for k, we find

b would be the answer

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
