Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant = 16N/m

Extension of spring

x = 8cm = 0.08m

Mass

m = 5g =5/1000 = 0.005 kg

The ball will leave with a speed that makes its kinetic energy equal to the potential energy of the compressed spring.

So, Using conservation of energy

Energy in spring is converted to kinectic energy

So, Ux = K.E

Ux = ½ kx²

Then,

Ux = ½ × 16 × 0.08m²

Ux = 0.64 J

Since, K.E = Ux

K.E = 0.64 J

a pitcher threw a baseball straight up at 35.8 meters per second. what is the ball's velocity after 2.50 seconds?
Andrei [34K]
Ok the velocity of an object in free fall is given by the equation :

v=v0-gt, where v0 is the original velocity, g is the gravitational constant (9.8 m/s^2) and t is the time. 

so, we substitute values into this equation. v=35.8-9.8*2.5; v=11.3 m/s

aleksley [76]

The pet store would be the reference point because it is where he started and it will not move. Hope this helped.

The charges for four ions are sodium (Na) +1, calcium (Ca) +2, fluorine (F) –1, and sulfur (S) –2. Which would be an ionic bond
Ludmilka [50]
The correct answer would be B. It is the compound Na2S that forms an ionic bond from the given ion above. From the choices, it is the only compound that exist and is available. Metals cannot react with another metal as well as nonmetal to nonmetal.

Raphael refers to a wave by noting its wavelength. lucinda refers to a wave by noting its frequency. which student is correct an
blsea [12.9K]
They are both right because you can note both things, I mean Raphael and Lucinda, both has a right statement or explanation about the wave. Wave by nothing is both for its wavelength and for its frequency. So Raphael and Lucinda are both correct because you can note both wavelength and frequency.
