Pulling on a spring with a force of 1.2 N causes a stretch of 6.4 cm. What is the spring constant for this spring?

k=19 N/m

Explanation:

Use the equation F=kx for this problem and isolate k since that is what you're solving for (k=F/x). Plug in your values (F=1.2 N and x=0.064 m) and solve for k which is 19 N/m.

an ion is a charged atom or molecule. it is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. an atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom.

when it gains or loses electrons
