A 200g air-track glider is attached to a spring. The glider is pushed in 10cm and released. A student with a stopwatch finds that 10 oscillations take 12. 0s. What is the spring constant?

The spring constant will be k= 5.5N/m for a 200g air track glider attached to a spring.

What is spring constant?

The spring constant, k, is a measure of the stiffness of the spring. It is different for different springs and materials.

Calculation for What is the spring constant

First step is to calculate the time period

T = 12 second/10

T = 1.2 second

Now let calculate the spring constant using this formula

[tex]k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2m}{T^2}[/tex]

Where,

m=0.2kg

T=1.2second

k represent spring constant=?

Let plug in the formula

[tex]k=\dfrac{4 \pi \times 0.2}{(1.2)^2}[/tex]

[tex]k=\dfrac{39.48\times 0.2}{1.44}[/tex]

[tex]k=\dfrac{7.90}{1.44}[/tex]

k=5.48 N/m

k=5.5 N/m ( Approximately)

Therefore the spring constant will be 5.5 N/m
