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.

The First Quarter Moon always occurs when A. the Moon is directly opposite the position of the Sun. B. when the Moon is closer t
Paul [167]

Answer:

Option D

When the Moon is at right angles to the direction of the Sun.

Explanation:

The moon does not shine on its own, for example, like the sun that emits light as a consequence of its temperature. Instead, the moon is reflecting the sunlight (that is known as albedo).

The moon orbits the earth in a time 27.3 day, a sidereal period. According to that and the fact the Earth orbits the Sun, the moon will show different phases when is reflecting the sunlight along a month due to the configuration of those three celestial objects (Moon, Earth and the Sun).

       

When there is a Right angle between the Moon and to the direction of the Sun, half its face will appear to be illuminated in the night sky (that is called First Quarter).

 

Notice that when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun it will be illuminated in its back, so it is not possible to see it from the Earth (that is called new moon).

   

However, a solar eclipse doesn't happens every month since the orbital plane of the moon is not in the same plane as the Earth's orbital plane with respect to the Sun.

Car A is traveling at 20.0 m/s and car B at 27.0 m/s.
Savatey [412]

Take the moment car A starts to accelerate to be the origin. Then car A has position at time <em>t</em>

<em>x</em> = (20.0 m/s) <em>t</em> + 1/2 (2.10 m/s²) <em>t</em>²

and car B's position is given by

<em>x</em> = 300 m + (27.0 m/s) <em>t</em>

<em />

Car A overtakes car B at the moment their positions are equal:

(20.0 m/s) <em>t</em> + 1/2 (2.10 m/s²) <em>t</em>² = 300 m + (27.0 m/s) <em>t</em>

300 m + (7.00 m/s) <em>t</em> - (1.05 m/s²) <em>t</em>² = 0

==>  <em>t</em> ≈ 20.6 s

A helium-neon laser (λ = 633 nm) illuminates a single slit and is observed on a screen 1.50 m behind the slit. The distance betw
mario62 [17]

Answer:

0.2 mm

Explanation:

As we know that

Y = \frac{m\lambda * D}{d}

where

m represents  the order of minimum

y represents the  distance on the screen of the minimum from central axis

λ is the wavelength  of the light

D is the distance between  screen-to-slit

d represents the width of the slit

For first minima

y_1 = \frac{1 * 633 * 10^{-9}*1.5}{d}

For second minima

y_2 = \frac{2 * 633 * 10^{-9}*1.5}{d}

Y_2 - Y_1 = 0.00475m\\\frac{633 * 10^{-9} * 1.5 }{d} = 0.00475\\d = 0.0002 m\\d = 0.2 mm
