Answer: 16.5 m/s

Explanation:
By law of conservation of energy:

\frac{kx^2}{2} =  \frac{mv^2}{2} --- (1)

Since k = Spring Constant = 850 N/m
x = 0.40 m
m = 500g = 0.5kg
v=?

Plug in the values in (1):

\frac{(850)(0.40^2)}{2} =  \frac{0.5v^2}{2}  \\ v =  \sqrt{272} \\ v = 16.49 m/s\\  v = 16.5 m/s(approx)

At a fixed depth within a fluid at rest, the pressure pushing upward is
earnstyle [38]

Answer: E) A) salt water.

Explanation:

E) In equilibrium, pressure exerts equally in all directions, so for a given depth, the pressure is the same for all points located at the same depth, and it can be written as follows:

p = p₀ + ρ.g.h, where p₀ = atmospheric pressure, ρ=fluid density, h=depth from the surface.

A) The buoyant force, as discovered by Archimedes, is an upward force, that opposes to the weight of an object (as it is always downward), and is equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid that the object removes, which means that is proportional to the density of the liquid.

As salt water is denser than fresh water, the buoyant force exerted by the salt water is always greater than the one produced by the fresh water, so objects will float more easily in salt water than in fresh water.

In the limit, it is possible that one object float in salt water and sink in fresh water.

what is the acceleration of an object that moves at a constant velocity of 2.0 meters per second for 5 seconds?
nexus9112 [7]
Constant velocity means moving in a straight line at a speed that doesn't change. If the object is moving with constant velocity then its acceleration is zero. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity is changing.

A skydiver jumps from an airplane and falls freely for 5 seconds. If the sky diver's velocity increases by 49 m/s during that ti
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Acceleration  =  (change in speed)  /  (time for the change)

                       =      (49 m/s)   /   (5 seconds)

                       =       (49 / 5)  m/s  /  s

                       =            9.8 m/s²

Select the correct statement about osmolarity. a) Osmolarity measures the moles of solute per liter of solution. b) The contents
8090 [49]

Answer:

a) Osmolarity measures the moles of solute per liter of solution.

Explanation:

Osmolarity is defined as the number of moles of solute that contribute to the osmotic pressure, per liter of solution, of solution. That is, the measurement of the solute concentration. The prefix "osmo-" indicates the possible variation of the osmotic pressure in the cells, which will occur when the solution is introduced into the body.

HELP!!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!! IF YOU LEAVE AN ANSWER EXPLAIN! THANKS
Travka [436]

Answer:

the answer is C

Explanation:

we know this because if you compare the graphs and look at the direction. it isn't always in the explanation or the few sentences they gave you at the top. also, look at the waves, you can see in Davids drawing that it is directly straight up, A and B do not represent that. A isn't even a valid answer. Notice also in A that the arrow is going in the completely different direction than in Davids drawing. B is also going a different direction even though it is only turned a little bit although if it was straight up like Davids drawing then it would most likely be a correct answer. C does have one arrow going a different direction but look at how it has two, showing in which if the waves were to turn then the arrow is still valid
