Answer:

In the case of burning wood, stored potential energy (in the form of chemical energy) in the log is released due to heating by other excited atoms. This chemical reaction is called combustion and requires oxygen. Combustion changes the potential chemical energy into kinetic energy in the form of heat.

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of conservation of energy, for which we have to preserve the initial kinetic energy as elastic potential energy at the end of the movement. If said equality is maintained then we can affirm that,

\text{Initial Energy}=\text{Final Energy}

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

Here,

m = mass

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

v = Velocity

Rearranging to find the velocity,

mv^2 = kx^2

v^2 = \frac{kx^2}{m}

v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}}

Our values are,

m = 5.22*10^4kg

k = 4.58*10^5N/m

x = 32cm = 0.32m

Replacing our values we have,

v = \sqrt{\frac{(4.58*10^5)(5.22*10^4)}{0.32}}

v = 2.733*10^5m/s

Therefore the velocity is 2.733*10^5m/s

An empty 2,500 kg train car is headed northbound at a velocity of 5 m/s. Ahead of the first car, an empty 1,500 kg car is headed
Tema [17]

Let the mass of 2500 kg car be m_1 and it's velocity be v_1 and the mass of 1500 kg car be m_2 and it's velocity be v_2 .

After the bumping the mass be M and it's velocity be V.

     By law of conservation of momentum we have

                   m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = MV

                    2500 * 5 + 1500 * 1=4000 * V

                    V = 14000/4000 = 7/2 = 3.5 m/s

So the velocity of the two-car train = 3.5 m/s

A_______covalent bond is when atoms of two different elements form a covalent bond.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Explanation:    Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outermost (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.
