Respuesta :

Answer:

"The distance the spring stretches " is the correct option.

Explanation:

The Hooke's law for a spring is given by :

[tex]F_{spring}=-k\Delta x[/tex]

Where

k is spring constant in N/m

[tex]\Delta x[/tex] is the compression or stretching in the spring

Hence, the correct option for [tex]\Delta x[/tex] is (b) "the distance the spring stretches .

The distance the spring stretches  is the correct option.

  • The explanation is as follows:

[tex]F_{spring} = -k\Delta x[/tex]

here

K represent the spring constant

[tex]\Delta x[/tex] represent the compression or stretching in the spring

Therefore, second option is correct.
