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 in detail how you would test a gingerbread biscuit solution for the presence of starch, sugar, and protein
mixas84 [53]
To test a food for starch, you can add a few droplets of iodine to it, if the liquid changes to a blue/black color then starch is present. To test for sugar you can use Benedict's solution, which will also have a color change from blue to yellow/red/orange. Add Biuret Reagent solution to test for protein, the solution will turn a pink or purple color... Note that this may not improve the taste or color of your gingerbread biscuit though :)

What is the reaction force if a girl pulls on a cow?
Papessa [141]
Answer : B) The cow pulls back on the girl.

From newton’s third law we know that every action has a reaction force pushing back. So when the girl pulls on a cow, the cow is pulling back on her.

A ski jumper starts from rest from point A at the top of a hill that is a height h1 above point B at the bottom of the hill. The
Illusion [34]

Answer:

v_i = 44.3 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that here no friction force is present on the skier so we can say that total mechanical energy is conserved here

so we will have

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mgh_1 = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + mgh_2

now we will have

h_1 = 0

v_f = 42 m/s

h_2 = 10 m

now we have

v_i^2 = v_f^2 + 2gh_2

v_i^2 = 42^2 + 2(9.8)(10)

v_i = 44.3 m/s

What is the maximum number of double bonds that a hydrogen atom can form?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

The covalent bond is the chemical bond between atoms where electrons are shared, forming a molecule. Covalent bonds are established between non-metallic elements, such as hydrogen H, oxygen O and chlorine Cl. These elements have many electrons in their outermost level (valence electrons) and have a tendency to gain electrons to acquire the stability of the electronic structure of noble gas. The shared electron pair is common to the two atoms and holds them together.

In a double covalent bond each atom contributes two electrons to the bond, that is, two pairs of electrons are shared between the atoms that form the covalent bond.

The Hydrogen atom is made up of a proton and an electron, which is located in its outermost layer and allows the covalent bond to form.  So <u><em>hydrogen cannot form a double bond </em></u>because it does not have the electrons necessary to form the bond. It needs two electrons in the valence shell or last shell and it only has a single electron.
