Danielle exerts a 14.0 N force to compress a spring by a distance of 8.00 cm. What is the spring constant of this spring

175 N/m

Explanation:

Given:

Force = F=  14.0 N

Distance = x = 8.00 cm = 0.08 m

To find:

spring constant

Solution:

spring constant is calculated by using Hooke's law:

k =  F/x

Putting the values in above formula:

k = 14.0 / 0.08

k = 175 N/m

i am pretty sure it is c because when people are closer together, they cannot move as freely. picture being in a mostly full elevator, for instance. the people are right next to you, and you can barely move.

its c i just checked it
