If a 6N weight is hung on a spring, and it extends by 0.2m, what is the spring constant (k)? What do you think the units are?

K = 30N/m

Explanation:

We use this equation:

F= k∆x

Where ∆x refers to the amount or stretch or compression and k is the spring constant.

F = force

k = spring constant

∆x = change in length of spring

We don't know the value of k, so we make k the subject:

k = F/∆x

k = 6N x 0.2m

k = 30N/m

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
