A 1.70 kg block slides on a horizontal, frictionless surface until it encounters a spring with a force constant of 955 N/m. The

block comes to rest after compressing the spring by a distance of 4.60 cm. The other end of the spring is attached to a wall. Find the initial speed of the block.

Answer:

The initial speed of the block is 1.09 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m = 1.7 kg

force constant of the spring, k = 955 N/m

compression of the spring, x = 4.6 cm = 0.046 m

From principle of conservation of energy

kinetic energy of the block = elastic potential energy of the spring

¹/₂mv² = ¹/₂kx²

mv²  = kx²

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

where;

v is the initial speed of the block

x is the compression of the spring

v = \sqrt{\frac{955*(0.046)^2}{1.7} } \\\\v = 1.09 \ m/s

Therefore, the initial speed of the block is 1.09 m/s

Explain how valence electrons can result in the<br> creation of ions.
Brums [2.3K]
So as you may know atoms are neutral because the number of protons (+ charge) and the number of electrons( - charge) are the same so they cancel out. When a valence electron leaves an atom it will have a +1 charge because there is one less negative than positives or there is one more positive than negatives since a negative electron left. If a valence electron is added a -1 charge because there is now one more negative than positive!!!
hope that helps!!

You're carrying a 3.2-m-long, 24kg pole to a construction site when you decide to stop for a rest. You place one end of the pole

Answer:

Tension of 132N

Explanation:

We need to apply Summatory of Force to find the tension in the hand.

We define te tensión in the hand as F_2 and the Tension in fence post as F_1, then

\sum F = 24(9.8)

F_1 + F_2= 24(9.8)

We apply summatory of moments then

F_2*1.25 = F_1*1.6

Where the Force 2 is 1.25m from the center of summatory,

We can note that,

1.6 m - 0.35m=1.25m

We have two equation and two incognites, then replacing (1) in (2)

1.6(235.2 -F_2) = 1.25F_2

376.32 = F2(1.6+1.25)

F_2= \frac{376.32}{2.85}

F_2 =132 N
