F=kx rearranges to k=F/x
k=10/2
k=5Nm-1

What happens to a springs force if you stretch it more?
It may loose its elastic nature.
Can you stretch a spring by pushing on them?
Springs are great for absorbing energy. The spring force is negative when the spring is stretched and positive when it is compressed or pushed.
What is the spring constant when it is stretched 1.5 meters when a force of 60 N is applied to it?
Just divide the force by the amount of stretch.
What goes back to its original shape after being streched and is used in force meters?
That would be a spring, which is stretched when you apply force to it. The spring used have a specific force constant, which means that an extension of the spring to a certain length is equal to a fixed amount of force.
Why is it that the more mass added to the end of a suspended spring the greater the time period?
A spring stretches because the coiled spring stores potential energy. This energy is released as the spring is stretched and returns to its original shape. Over a period of time, the spring becomes worn and loses the potential energy.
Define spring constant What is its unit?
The rate or spring constant of a spring is the change in the force it exerts, divided by An extension or compression spring has units of force divided by distance, law which states that the force a spring exerts is proportional to its extension.
Can you stretch springs by pushing on them?
Springs are great for absorbing energy. The spring force is negative when the spring is stretched and positive when it is compressed or pushed.
What is the characteristics of springs with large spring constant in hooke's law?
larger the spring constant of a spring, the more stiffer it is.
What happens to a springs force if you stretch it more?
It may loose its elastic nature.
Can you stretch a spring by pushing on them?
Springs are great for absorbing energy. The spring force is negative when the spring is stretched and positive when it is compressed or pushed.
How are natural springs formed?
when there is a crack in the ground ,the ground exerts pressure and makes the water squirt from the ground forming a spring.
What is the formula to find the spring constant?
F = - k x In this equation, x is the distance that the spring has been stretched or compressed away from its equilibrium position F is the restoring force exerted by the spring. k is the spring constant.
What is the spring constant?
it is a value unique for every spring and depends on the materials. it doesn't change if the characteristics of your spring don't. if we have a spring with k spring constant and cut it in 2, the resulting springs still have k spring constant. the spring force depends on the spring constant. this formula F=k*x gives the force applied to a body by a spring, when it hase been pulled by x from it's natural state.
What is the extension of a stretched spring?
The amount the spring is stretched is called the displacement.
How do you find out how long a spring has stretched?
You can find out how long a spring has been stretched/compressed by knowing it's elastic constant and the force the spring is exerting trying to go back to it's original shape. F=K*x (Moore's law) F is the force exerted by the spring. K is the elastic constant. X is the displacement of the end of the spring from it's normal position. You want to find x, x = F/K
What is the difference between the leaf spring and the coil spring and which is the best?
Coil springs are spiral. Leaf springs are flat blades of steel stacked on top of each other. Air springs are bags of air. Leaf springs are cheaper and carry more weight (hence often rear springs are leaf). Coil springs are wound tighter at the bottom so that their spring constant is greater (this is to make a linear force after compensating for gravity).
What is the spring constant when it is stretched 1.5 meters when a force of 60 N is applied to it?
Just divide the force by the amount of stretch.
