a)A spring stretches from 8 cm to 18 cm when a force of 30 N is applied
What is its total length, in cm, when a force of 40 N is applied?
1. Find the spring constant k using Hooke's law: F=kx, where F is the force, k is the spring
constant, and x is the displacement. The displacement is 18-8=10cm=0.1m
2. k=F/x=30/0.1=300N/m
3. Find the displacement when a force of 40N is applied: x=F/k=40/300=0.13m=13cm
4. Find the total length of the spring: 8cm+13cm=21cm

a) Explain why we sometimes get a shock when we come across a carpet and touch a door
handle
As you walk across a carpet, your body builds up excess electrons, which are negatively charged
particles. When you then touch a doorknob, these electrons moving to the metal doorknob. This
transfer of charge from your body to the doorknob is what you feel as an electric shock.

b) A student combs his hair with a plastic comb. The comb becomes positively charged.
Explain how this happens?
The comb transfer electrons to the hair when a student combs his hair

Like charge – repel; unlike charge – attract – please remember this

300 and the angle of refraction is 190
angle of incidence i = 300

refraction in the glass is 34 degree. The speed of light in air is 3.0 x 10 8 m/s. Determine the speed
of light in the glass fiber;
angle of incidence i = 600
angle of refraction is r = 340
n=sin i / sin r ( Find n using calculator)
n= 1.55
Now write the formula
n=speed of light in air / speed of light in glass
speed of light in glass fiber = speed of light in air / refractive index
speed of light in glass fiber = speed of light in air / n

angle of incidence i = 550

angle of refraction is r = 300
n=sin i / sin r ( Find n using calculator)
n= 1.63
Now write the formula
n=speed of light in air / speed of light in glass
speed of light in glass fiber = speed of light in air / refractive index
speed of light in glass fiber = speed of light in air / n
= 3.0 x 108 m/s / 1.63
