What else can I help you with?
What is it that its units are newtons per meters?
The units newtons per meter refer to the quantity known as a spring constant, which represents the stiffness of a spring. It describes how much force is needed to stretch or compress the spring by a certain distance.
What is a spring scale used to measure?
A spring scale measures weight. It is dependent on the gravity, and so one's weight in space, or on the moon would be different based on the spring scale. A balance measures mass, and since the standards in a balance are the same no matter what the gravity is, then the mass remains constant. However, for all practical purposes, the gravity on earth is constant so the weight and mass of the objects would be the same.
One Newton is equivalent to what?
1 newton is force equivalent to about 3.6 ounces . 1 pound is force equivalent to about 4.49 newtons .
Can you determine the mass of the ice?
To determine the mass of ice, you would need to weigh it using a balance. The mass of the ice would be the same as the weight you measure if you are using a balance on Earth, as the gravitational force remains constant.
What is the SI unit for force and height and work and mass and energy?
Each of those quantities has a different SI unit. They are: Force. . . . . . . . . Newton Height (length) . Meter Work. . . . . . . . . Joule Mass. . . . . . . . . Kilogram Energy . . . . . . . Joule (same as work)
What will happen when the elastic spring force is reduced?
The elastic spring stretches more when subjected to the same force.
What is a spring balance and how is it used?
SPRING BALANCEA spring balance apparatus is simply a spring fixed at one end with a hook to attach an object at the other. It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a spring is proportional to the distance that spring is extended from its rest position. Therefore the scale markings on the spring balance are equally spaced.Spring balance can be used in physics and education as basic accelerometers, but its main uses are industrial, especially related to weighing heavy loads such as trucks, storage silos, and material carried on a conveyor belt. Spring balance are used when the accuracy afforded by other types of scales can be sacrificed for simplicity, cheapness, and robustness. A spring balance measures the weight of an object by opposing the force of gravity with the force of an extended spring. Spring balances measure weights in Gram as well as NewtonThe first spring balance in Britain was made around 1770 by Richard Salter of Bilston, near West Bromwich.[1] He and his nephews John & George founded the firm of George Salter & Co., still notable makers of scales and balances, who in 1838 patented the spring balance. They also applied the same spring balance principle to steam locomotive safety valves, replacing the earlier deadweight valves.[1]
Will a body weight more in air or in vacuum when weighed with a spring balance?
A body will weigh the same in air and in a vacuum when weighed with a spring balance, as the measurement is based on the gravitational force acting on the body. The absence of air in a vacuum does not affect the weight of the body being measured.
What is the spring constant for a victor mousetrap?
Victor has changed their mousetraps and made their traps the same so they now have the same spring constant. The spring constant of all victor mousetraps are 3.52 N/m.
What is it that its units are newtons per meters?
The units newtons per meter refer to the quantity known as a spring constant, which represents the stiffness of a spring. It describes how much force is needed to stretch or compress the spring by a certain distance.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it isn on earth but the objects weight different?
Because mass is conserved, which means it stays the same wherever the object goes. The weight is the force that the Earth attracts the object with, which changes when the object goes away from the Earth. Mass is measured by a balance, a pair of scales, where one mass is compared with another. Weight is measured by a spring balance, where the force of attraction by the Earth is measured by how much it extends a spring.
How does balance effect mass?
It doesn't, mass stays the same unless acted in by an outside force, balance isn't an outside force
A 100 pound force to the west and a 50 pound force in the same direction what is the resultant force in each?
it will not be balance
How is the extension of a spring directly proportional to the force applied to it?
The extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied to it according to Hooke's Law. This means that as you increase the force applied to a spring, the extension of the spring will increase by the same proportion. This relationship holds true as long as the spring remains within its elastic limit.
Is there a difference in the spring force when the spring is compressed instead of stretched?
When a coil spring is compressed the spring compression tends to vary inversely with the length of the spring to the point where the spring cannot be compressed further without damage. In tension, the spring tension varies directly with the length but only so long as the elastic modulus is not reached. At that length, the spring becomes permanently deformed or "sprung". Depending on the representation of the drawing, the vector of the spring in compression will be opposite that of the same spring in tension. That is to say, if you push the spring to the left the force will be negative while a pull to the right will be positive so the spring in compression will push right (positive) and the spring in tension will pull left (negative).
What is a spring scale used to measure?
A spring scale measures weight. It is dependent on the gravity, and so one's weight in space, or on the moon would be different based on the spring scale. A balance measures mass, and since the standards in a balance are the same no matter what the gravity is, then the mass remains constant. However, for all practical purposes, the gravity on earth is constant so the weight and mass of the objects would be the same.
Why does a large spring constant indicate a stiff spring?
It takes a larger force to compress or pull a spring the same distance as a spring with a smaller spring constant. This is shown in Hooke's law. x=F/k k---is the spring constant F---is the force applied to the spring x is the distance the spring has been compressed
