A physics lab is demonstrating the principles of simple harmonic motion (SHM) by using a spring affixed to a horizontal support. The student is asked to find the spring constant, k . After suspending a mass of 255.0 g from the spring, the student notices the spring is displaced 35.5 cm from its previous equilibrium. With this information, calculate the spring constant.

7.04661971831 N/m

Explanation:

x = Displacement of the spring = 35.5 cm

g = Acceleration due to gravity =

m = Mass of block = 255 g

Here the forces are conserved

The spring constant is 7.04661971831 N/m

the electric field is a “force field” around a charged object that illustrates the direction the electric force would push an imaginary 

blue light is scattered in different directions by the tiny molecules of air. blue is scattered more than other colours because it has a shorter distance to travel which results in smaller waves. this is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
