same formula, this time you're solving for k *** make sure to convert cm to m though

Vocaloid:

** actually don't convert cm to m b/c the units are still in cm for the force constant

zarkam21:

D

Vocaloid:

6 = k(33) k = ?

zarkam21:

B

Vocaloid:

6/33 = 0.18 (A)

Hm. I had to look this one up and sources say it's b/c of gravity (A)

Vocaloid:

which makes sense b/c gravity is the restoring force

well if you think about the force equation F = kx k = F/x so the numerator has to be a force unit (usually N) and the denominator has to be a unit of distance so what's the best choice?

zarkam21:

D

Vocaloid:

awesome, D

|dw:1518013647991:dw| you are given k and x, find U

zarkam21:

i got 1.29

zarkam21:

u=(1)/(2)(115)0.15^(2)

zarkam21:

u=1.29

Vocaloid:

good, so (A) with rounding

so at either end (5 and -5) the spring has the least kinetic energy + most potential energy it naturally follows that it has the least potential + most kinetic energy at the center (0 cm) which is point C

Vocaloid:

F = kx, you're given k and F, find x

zarkam21:

c

Vocaloid:

F = kx 8 = (44)x x = ?

Vocaloid:

x = 8/44 = 0.18 (D)
