<h2>a) Average velocity in first 4 seconds is 64 ft/s upward</h2><h2>b) Average velocity in second 4 seconds is 63.5 ft/s downward</h2>
Explanation:
a) Given S(t) = 76 + 128t − 16t²
s(0) = 76 + 128 x 0 − 16 x 0² = 76 ft
s(4) = 76 + 128 x 4 − 16 x 4² = 332 ft
Displacement in 4 seconds = 332 - 76 = 256 ft
Time = 4 - 0 = 4 s

Average velocity in first 4 seconds is 64 ft/s upward
a) Given S(t) = 76 + 128t − 16t²
s(4) = 76 + 128 x 4 − 16 x 4² = 332 ft
s(8) = 76 + 128 x 8 − 16 x 8² = 78 ft
Displacement in 4 seconds = 78 - 332 = -254 ft
Time = 4 - 0 = 4 s

Average velocity in second 4 seconds is 63.5 ft/s downward
(a) 392 N/m
Hook's law states that:
(1)
where
F is the force exerted on the spring
k is the spring constant
is the stretching/compression of the spring
In this problem:
- The force exerted on the spring is equal to the weight of the block attached to the spring:

- The stretching of the spring is

Solving eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:

(b) 17.5 cm
If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is

And so, the stretch of the spring is

And since the initial lenght of the spring is

The final length will be

<h2>since weight is measured in newtons, convert the 6 kg to newtons</h2><h3>the formula to convert is kg x 9.807 = N</h3>
hope that helps :))
The final velocity of the two pucks is -5 m/s
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.
In fact, in absence of external force, the total momentum of the two pucks before and after the collision must be conserved - so we can write:

where
is the mass of each puck
is the initial velocity of the 1st puck
is the initial velocity of the 2nd puck
v is the final velocity of the two pucks sticking together
Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

Eight electrons surrounding each non-hydrogen atom is the optimal electronic arrangement for covalent molecules because it is needed to achieve an octet structure and is necessary to fill both the s and p subshells of electrons.
<h3>What is Covalent bonding?</h3>
This is the type of bonding which involves the sharing of electrons between atoms of an element.
This is done to achieve an octet configuration thereby making them stable and less reactive thereby making it the most appropriate choice.
