A block with mass m is placed against a spring (with spring constant k) on a frictionless plane inclined with angle θ with respe

ct to the horizontal. The block is not attached to the spring, but the spring is initially compressed by Δx from equilibrium. The block is then released and moves a distance d >Δx up the incline before momentarily coming to the stop. Which statements about the change in the spring potential energy ΔUs and change in the mechanical energy ΔEmech of the system are correct?
a.ΔEmech = 0
b.ΔUs < 0
c.ΔEmech < 0
d.ΔUs = 0
e.ΔEmech> 0
f.ΔUs > 0

Answer:

b.\Delta U_s

e.\Delta E_{mech}>0

Explanation:

We are given that

Spring constant=k

Angle=\theta

Mass=m

Distance=d

Distance=\Delta x

Initial potential energy of spring=\frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2

Final potential energy of spring=0

Final potential energy  of system=mgd

Initial mechanical energy of system=Initial K.E+Initial P.E=0+0=0

Final mechanical energy of the system=Kinetic energy+Potential energy=0+mgd

\Delta E_{mech}=mgd-0=mgd>0

\Delta U_{s}=Final-initial=0-\frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2=-\frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2=

Option b and e are true.

If the mass of a material is 115 grams and the volume of the material is 16 cm3, what would the density of the material be?
hjlf
Well, density is mass/volume. So what's 115 g / 16 cm3? That'll get you your density. Remember that density will be in g/cm3!

What is the ph of a buffer solution that is 0.172 m in hclo and 0.131 m in naclo? hint: the ka of hclo is 3.8 x 10-8.
nata0808 [166]

The pH of the buffer solution is 7.30 for 0.172 m in Hypochlorous acid and 0.131 m in Sodium hypochlorite.

<h3>What is a buffer solution?</h3>

A weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid, are mixed together to form a solution called a buffer solution, which is based on water as the solvent. They do not change in pH when diluted or when modest amounts of acid or alkali are added to them. A relatively little amount of a strong acid or strong base has little effect on the pH of buffer solutions. As a result, they are employed to maintain a steady pH.

According to the question:

Ka = 3.8×10⁻⁸

pKa = - log (Ka)

= - log(3.8×10⁻⁸)

= 7.42

pH = pKa + log {[conjugate base]/[acid]}

= 7.42+ log {0.131/0.172}

= 7.302

In a chemical reaction, atoms are created or destroyed. True ore false...
likoan [24]
False. When a chemical reaction occurs, atoms don't create or destroy. They are rearranged as bonds and are broken and formed together.

A particle (mass = 5.0 g, charge = 40 mC) moves in a region of space where the electric field is uniform and is given by Ex = –2
taurus [48]

Answer: 40m

Explanation: Distance is a function of speed/ velocity and time.

From the question the velocity along the z axis is given as 20 m/s at t = 0 secs We were ask to calculate the distance travelled when t = 2secs.

Recall that,

Velocity = distance travelled / time

Since we're calculating for distance we make it subject of formula;

Distance travelled = velocity * time

= 20m/s * 2s

= 40meter.
