15.0 m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

At the beginning, all the energy of the system is stored in the elastic potential energy of the compressed spring, which is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(4500 N/m)(0.60 m)^2=810 J

When the spring is released, the pumpkin of mass m=5.5 kg is pushed upwards. All the energy is then converted into gravitational potential energy of the pumpkin when it reaches its maximum height h:

E=mgh

Re-arranging the equation, we can find h:

h=\frac{E}{mg}=\frac{810 J}{(5.5 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=15.0 m

Any kind of wave spreads out after passing through a small enough gap in a barrier. This phenomenon is known as _________. a) di
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

a) diffraction

Explanation:

Diffraction occurs when waves pass through small openings, around obstacles or sharp edges.When an opaque object is between the point of light and a screen, the border between the shaded and illuminated regions on the screen is not defined. A careful inspection of the scrubber shows that a small amount of light is diverted to the shaded region. The region outside the shadow contains bright and dark altered bands, where the intensity of the first band is brighter than the region of uniform illumination.

A gaseous system undergoes a change in temperature and volume. What is the entropy change for a particle in this system if the f
jonny [76]

Answer:

<em>Entropy Change = 0.559 Times</em>

Explanation:

Entropy change is determined by the change in the micro-states of a system. As we know that the micro-states are the same as measure of disorderness between initial and final states, that's the the amount of change in micro-states determine how much of entropy has changed in the system.

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

A 25.0-meter length of platinum wire with a cross-sectional area of 3.50 × 10^−6 meter^2 has a resistance
Nookie1986 [14]
R= (rou * L) / area
where R is the wire resistance
rou: resistivity of the wire material
L : wire length
A : cross section area of wire
by sub.
0.757= (rou*25)/ 3.5*10^-6
25*rou = 2.6495*10^-6
rou= 1.0598*10^-7 ohm.m
