k = spring constant of the spring = 85 N/m
m = mass of the box sliding towards the spring = 3.5 kg
v = speed of box just before colliding with the spring = ?
x = compression the spring = 6.5 cm = 6.5 cm (1 m /100 cm) = 0.065 m
the kinetic energy of box just before colliding with the spring converts into the spring energy of the spring when it is fully compressed.
Using conservation of energy
Kinetic energy of spring before collision = spring energy of spring after compression
(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²
m v² = k x²
inserting the values
(3.5 kg) v² = (85 N/m) (0.065 m)²
v = 0.32 m/s
Nope. It's called 'centripetal' acceleration. The force that created it MAY be gravitational, but it doesn't have to be. For things on the surface of the Earth moving in circles, it's never gravity.
Answer:
B. Solar energy
Explanation:
The water cycle is driven primarily by the energy from the sun. This solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration.
Answer:
Maximum height the atmosphere pressure can support the
water=10.336 m
Explanation:
We know that ,
Case 1 - Mercury in the tube
Case 2 - Water in the tube
Since atmospheric pressure is same
.
or, 
∴ 
Hence height of the water column =10.336 m
