A block of mass 0.254 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5 100 N/m and pushed downward so that th

e spring is compressed by 0.093 m. After the block is released from rest, it travels upward and then leaves the spring. To what maximum height above the point of release does it rise? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

8.86 m

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the elastic potential energy initially stored in the spring will be converted into gravitational potential energy of the block when it is at its maximum height:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = mgh

where

k = 5100 N/m is the spring constant

x = 0.093 m is the spring compression

m = 0.254 kg is the mass of the block

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the maximum height of the block

Solving the equation for h, we find

h=\frac{kx^2}{2mg}=\frac{(5100 N/m)(0.093 m)^2}{2(0.254 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=8.86 m

Substances that prevent certain chemical reactions are called ___.
yuradex [85]

Substances that prevent or reduce the rate of a chemical reaction are called as inhibitors.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Inhibitors are those substances that either prevent or reduce the rate of a chemical reaction. Ex: Acetanilide slows down the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide solution.  

Inhibitors even reduce the effectiveness of catalysts without hindering their composition. There are primarily two kinds of inhibitors- reversible and irreversible. Where, reversible inhibitors slows the rate of any reaction, irreversible inhibitors completely prevents the unwanted reactions.

Where catalysts are used to increase the rate of a reaction, inhibitors stand as a wall for the unwanted reactions to occur. For example, in case of silver tarnishing, to prevent silver jewellery being tarnished, a thin layer of rhodium is applied on it which works like an inhibitor for formation reaction of silver sulphides (the tarnish).
