A50-cm-long spring is suspended from the ceiling. a 270 g mass is connected to the end and held at rest with the spring unstretched. the mass is released and falls, stretching the spring by 24 cm before coming to rest at its lowest point. it then continues to oscillate vertically. part a part complete what is the spring constant?

The spring constant is 45.94 N/m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 50 cm

Mass = 270 g

Stretching the spring = 24 cm

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using formula of energy

The change in potential energy equal to the change in kinetic energy.

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The spring constant is 45.94 N/m.

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
