Fish are hung on a spring scale to determine their mass (most fishermen feel no obligation to truthfully report the mass). What is the force constant of the spring in such a scale if it the spring stretches 8.50 cm for a 8.1 kg load

k = 933.88 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a load, m = 8.1 kg

The displacement in the spring, x = 8.5 cm

We need to find the force constant of the spring. We know that Hooke's law is given by :

F = -kx

Also,

F = mg (Force due to its weight)

So,

So, the force constant of the spring is equal to 933.88 N/m.

no. bullets are macro objects. wave nature is for light waves, extremely tiny particles. if a light particle was the size of your finger, the bullet would be the size of the universe. so basically, that huge difference in size makes the wave nature of matter insignificant.
