How does the spring constant of the smaller springs relate to that of the original spring? Choose the correct explanation. A) The spring constant of each half will be half the spring constant of the original long spring since it will stretch twice as much under the same tension
B) The spring constant of each half will be twice the spring constant of the original long spring since it will stretch twice as much under the same tension.
C) The spring constant of each half will be twice the spring constant of the original long spring since it will stretch only half as much under the same tension.
D) The spring constant of each half will be half the spring constant of the original long spring since it will stretch only half as much under the same tension.

C) The spring constant of each half will be twice the spring constant of the original long spring since it will stretch only half as much under the same tension.

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by a distance is proportional to that distance. If is given as:

F = ke, where F is the force applied, k is spring constant and e is the extension.

If a force f is applied to a spring with a spring constant k and by a distance stretched (x) then:

k = F / x

For half the spring, if the same force F is applied, the stretch would be half (x/2), hence the spring constant C is:

C = F / (x/2)

C = 2 (F / x) = 2 * spring constant of original spring

first thing first of the answer is with technology. second thing second thing is that the big bang theory did not happened u see they say it did but what they dont realize is that like dinasures are still a round they might deny it but they and look at these 12 foot human skelteons they find lets see didnt the bible say something about giants. hope this peace.
