I figure anywhere between 20 and 100 N/m. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on the answer, but no one will answer this with an example of the force it would take, only formulas.

If you think about it, 1 newton would take you about 2-5 cm, which would equate to [k=F/x] k=1N/0.02, resulting in k=50 N/m. That equation is saying if you would take a meter-long pen spring, it would take 50 neutons to compress it completely. Hope this helps.

When ball is thrown upward then applied force is constant why not speed of ball is constant?

because there if speed is constant than ball never come back to earth hence speed of ball is not constant


How do you reassemble the spring and ball in a check valve?

If in a well replace it as it is worn out. If something was stuck in it set the ball on the seat and the spring on the ball to push ball to seat, then the ball retainer. Pressure should push the ball open and the spring should close the ball. (make sure all the spring is there)


Can speed be zero when acceleration is constant?

Speed (or velocity) can be zero during a period of constant acceleration. Take a ball thrown vertically into the air. From the time it leaves the hand, it is accelerating downwards, that is, against the direction in which it is travelling. There will come a time when the constant downward acceleration causes the ball to be stationary. This is the highest point the ball will reach and from that time onwards, the ball will begin to travel in the opposite direction, i.e. downwards. For the whole time the ball is in the air it will be accelerating downwards at a constant rate due to gravity. The velocity of the ball is changing continually and includes the moment when velocity is zero.


What is a pen made out of?

Ball point pen body (outside protection): -Metals -Plastics -Copper or Brass - Sometimes aluminum -Many other chemicals Ball point pen insides (Inside pen): -Tungsten carbide ball (The ball point) -Plastic (the ink holder) -Customized or selected colored ink -Brass (Spring) And that's your classic ballpoint pen, its more complicated than it looks :)


How can you calculate the average velocity of a bowling ball?

First, find an increment of distance. In between one place and another. Then, time how long it takes for the ball to get from point a to point b.Velocity= Distance divided by Time


A boy fires a spring-loaded Ping-Pong ball gun Briefly compare the forces and impulses on the gun and the ball Which has more momentum which moves faster?

The spring hits the ball with an action, and the ball hits the spring with an equal but opposite reaction. Since the ball has more momentum, it moves faster.

As you increase the force applied to a rolling ball the acceleration of the ball increases this is an example of what law?

if you increase the force , the mass remaining constant, a new rate of acceleration applies in the order a = f/m from that point (second law)
