An old truck compresses a spring scale at the junkyard by 25 cm. the spring constant for the industrial scale at the junkyard is 39,200 n/m. what is the force applied to the scale by the car?

Force, F = 9800 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

The spring constant for the industrial scale at the junkyard is, k = 39,200 N/m

The compression in the spring, x = 25 cm = 0.25 m

To find,

The force applied to the scale by the car.

Solution,

The Hooke's law gives the relation between the force and the compression in the spring. Its expression is given by :

F = 9800 N

So, the force applied to the scale by the car is 9800 N.

hèllo, sorry i really need some more points so if you need this qustion answered than retype it

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
