You compress a spring by a distance of 0.2 m. The spring has a spring constant of 37 N/m. When you release the spring, it snaps

back. What is the kinetic energy of the spring as it reaches its natural length?

At that point it is no longer trying to uncompress nor is it trying to stretch.  This is the same thing as a pendulum at the bottom of its swing, no longer falling but not yet rising against gravity.  Thus the kinetic energy there is the same as the potential energy when it is compressed.  The energy of compression is
\frac{1}{2}k x^{2}
This gives E=0.5(37)(0.2)²=0.74J
This is the same as the kinetic energy when it is at natural length

Is NaCH an element? Why or why not?
amm1812
<span>NaCH is not an element, it is a compound. An element can be found and identified on the periodic table to elements. A compound is a combination of two of more elements. NaCH is composed of three elements: Na (sodium), C (carbon) and H (hydrogen), making it a compound.</span>

A plastic rod 1.3 m long is rubbed all over with wool, and acquires a charge of -3e-08 coulombs. we choose the center of the rod
Anestetic [448]
(a) The plastic rod has a length of L=1.3m. If we divide by 8, we get the length of each piece:
L/8=1.3m/8=0.1625 m

(b) The center of the rod is located at x=0. This means we have 4 pieces of the rod on the negative side of x-axis, and 4 pieces on the positive side. So, starting from x=0 and going towards positive direction, we have: piece 5, piece 6, piece 7 and piece 8. Each piece is 0.1625 m long. Therefore, the center of piece 5 is at 0.1625m/2=0.0812 m. And the center of piece 6 will be shifted by 0.1625m with respect to this:
c_6 = 0.0812m+0.1625m=0.2437 m

(c) The total charge is Q=-3 \cdot 10^{-8}C. To get the charge on each piece, we should divide this value by 8, the number of pieces:
Q/8=-3\cdot 10^{-8}C/8=-3.75\cdot 10^{-9}C

(d) We have to calculate the electric field at x=0.7 generated by piece 6. The charge on piece 6 is the value calculated at point (c):
q= -3.75\cdot 10^{-9}C
If we approximate piece 6 as a single  charge, the electric field is given by
E=k_e  \frac{q}{d^2}
where k_e=8.99\cdot 10^9Nm^2C^{-2} and d is the distance between the charge (center of piece 6, located at 0.2437m) and point a (located at x=0.7m). Therefore we have
E= 8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2} \frac{-3.75\cdot 10^9 C}{(0.2437m-0.7m)^2} =-161.9 V/m
poiting towards the center of piece 6, since the charge is negative.

This one question is on fotoeletric effect. Does the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons from metal depends on the intensity
grandymaker [24]
Energy of one photon = kinetic energy of photoelectron + work function energy of metal.
Intensity of radiation is proportional to the number of photons arriving per second

Why would a rocket fall vertically downwards if it was launched vertically upwards​
IgorC [24]

Answer:

It would because the shape of the rocket is designed to be able to slice through the air as smooth as possible and now you may be thinking that air is already smooth but when you try to push something as large and heavy like a rocket then the shape of the rocket will be very important. The bottom of the rocket is flatter then the top so it is not designed to fly smoothly through the air. So the rocket would fall vertically downward(If it was still in one piece)because of it's shape. It is easier for the top of the rocket to go smoothly through the air then the bottom.

Explanation:

I am 90% sure this is correct but if I'm not please tell me
