In this problem, you are asked to find a vertical position of a ball when you are given its initial position on a spring. In both locations, the speed of the ball is zero.  

If non-conservative forces are either known or small and if energy is converted from one form to another between the locations, then any time you relate speed and position of an object at two different points, conservation of energy is the most direct way to understand the problem.  

In this case, you start out with stored energy in the compression of the spring and convert it to stored gravitational energy.

Suddenly a worker picks up the bag of gravel. Use energy conservation to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.3
fiasKO [112]

Explanation:

A worker picks up the bag of gravel. We need to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest. It is case of conservation of energy. So,

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh}

h = 2.3 m

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.3} \\\\v=6.71\ m/s

So, the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest is 6.71 m/s.

The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass, so if you decrease its mass while keeping the net force the
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Since acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, decreasing mass will make the object lighter, and thus easier to speed up. So acceleration increases as mass decreases and vice versa

Describe the contributions of Mathieu Orfila and Robert Christison to the field of toxicology
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

They developed a test for poisons in the human tissues

Explanation:

Around the 19th century, Mathieu Orfila and Robert Christison developed important tests that identified poisons in human tissues.

By so doing, they laid the foundation for what is now called forensic toxicology. This science attempts to identify poisons in human tissues especially by way of autopsies and forensic investigation.

Today forensic toxicology has expanded to include alcohol testing techniques as well as testing athletes for intake of performance enhancing substances.

Atmospheric pressure decreases with increment in height.<br> give reason​
jekas [21]

Answer:

pressure=height × density×acc due to gravity

so

pressire is directly proportional to height hence it decreses with decrease in height

here air column height is measured upside down so decreases witn increment

In the parts that follow select whether the number presented in statement A is greater than, less than, or equal to the number p
OleMash [197]

Answer:

1)   A> B, 2)  A = B,  3)    A> B

Explanation:

When a figure is given the number of significant figures to determine the precision or uncertainty the number

1) the uncertainty in the number with three significant figures is less than the number with two significant figures

statement A 2.6

statement B 2.57

        A> B

2) decalration A

         2,567 + 3,146 = 5,713

with two figures it remains

             5.7

statement B

         2.6 + 3.1 = 5.7

 A = B

3) for the product the result is with the number that has the least significant figures

statement A

rectangles area

   2.536 * 1.4 = 3.6

  statement B

    2.536 * 1.41 = 3.58

          A> B
