Notice that all the initial spring potential energy was transformed into gravitational potential energy. If you compressed the s

pring to a distance of 0.200 m , how far up the slope will an identical ice cube travel before reversing directions? Note that the spring is compressed twice as much as in the original problem.

<u><em>The  question doesn't provide enough data to be solved, but I'm assuming some magnitudes to help you to solve your own problem</em></u>

Answer:

<em>The maximum height is 0.10 meters</em>

Explanation:

<u>Energy Transformation</u>

It's referred to as the change of one energy from one form to another or others. If we compress a spring and then release it with an object being launched on top of it, all the spring (elastic) potential energy is transformed into kinetic and gravitational energies. When the object stops in the air, all the initial energy is now gravitational potential energy.

If a spring of constant K is compressed a distance x, its potential energy is

\displaystyle P_E=\frac{Kx^2}{2}

When the launched object (mass m) reaches its max height h, all that energy is now gravitational, which is computed as

U=mgh

We have then,

U=P_E

\displaystyle mgh=\frac{Kx^2}{2}

Solving for h

\displaystyle h=\frac{Kx^2}{2mg}

We have little data to work on the problem, so we'll assume some values to answer the question and help to solve the problem at hand

Let's say: x=0.2 m (given), K=100 N/m, m=2 kg

Computing the maximum height

\displaystyle h=\frac{(100)0.2^2}{2(2)(9.8)}

\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{39.2}=0,10\ m

The maximum height is 0.10 meters

Human eyes detect only a very small band of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, some animals and insects see in higher and lo
hoa [83]

Answer:

Squids = 450 - 490 nm (Moderate Frequency) (Blue)

Bees = 300 - 650 nm (Lower Frequency Bands)

Frogs = 280 - 580 nm (Very Low Frequency)

Explanation:

All of the above mentioned ranges are compared to that of humans.

I'm just surprised a little bit in the imagination that how these organisms see the world through their unique eyes. On the other hands, they are evolved like this just like we do so that may not be surprising enough. SIKE

D=1/2at^2 <br> solve for a
nignag [31]

Answer:

a = 2d / t²

Explanation:

d = ½ at²

Multiply both sides by 2:

2d = at²

Divide both sides by t²:

a = 2d / t²
