Question

A 0.50 kg weight suspended from a spring is pulled to 0.50 m below its equilibrium point if the spring has a spring has a spring constant of 50 n/m at what rate will the mass accelerate when it is released

13
25
6.3
50

Answer 1

Given that:

mass (m) = 0.5 Kg,

spring pulled (x) =0.50 m,

spring constant (k)= 50 N/m,

accelearation = ?

we know that from Hook's law

F = k.x

= 50 × 0.5

=25 N

Also we know that Force = m. a

25 = 0.5 × a

a = 50 m/s²

÷
