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)

Answer:

he at 100k

Explanation:

All particles have energy, and the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in, which determines if the substance is a solid, liquid, or gas. Solid particles have the least amount of energy, and gas particles have the greatest amount of energy.

The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles. A change in phase may occur when the energy of the particles is changed.

There are spaces between particles of matter. The average amount of empty space between molecules gets progressively larger as a sample of matter moves from the solid to the liquid and gas phases.

Key Terms

kinetic molecular theory: Theory of treating samples of matter as a large number of small particles (atoms or molecules), all of which are in constant, random motion

kinetic: Of or relating to motion.

lattice: A regular spacing or arrangement of atoms/molecules within a crystal.

phase: A component in a material system that is distinguished by chemical composition and/or physical state. Matter can exist in the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases.

The kinetic molecular theory of matter offers a description of the microscopic properties of atoms (or molecules) and their interactions, leading to observable macroscopic properties (such as pressure, volume, temperature). An application of the theory is that it helps to explain why matter exists in different phases (solid, liquid, and gas) and how matter can change from one phase to the next.

All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state. Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy.

Answer:

circuit breaker

Explanation:

A circuit breaker is a device used for electrical safety. It consists of a switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage that may result from heating due to overload in the circuit.

Its basic function is to interrupt current flow through its switch that consists of metal stripe which bends when it gets hot.

Fuse has similar action with circuit breaker, the only difference is that fuse can only be used once because it melts when it gets hot.

Therefore, the correct answer is "circuit breaker"

Svetach [21]
"Midnight" means looking away from the Sun. But in 6 months from April to October the earth goes halfway around the Sun. So midnight in April and midnight in October are exactly opposite directions.

Suppose a woman raises a 65 N object in 2m in 4 seconds.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf P.E = 130\ Joules}

\huge\boxed{\sf P = 32.5\ Watts}

Explanation:

<u>Given Data:</u>

Weight = W = 65 N

Height = h = 2 m

Time = t = 4 secs

<u>Required:</u>

Power = P = ?

Work Done in the form of Potential Energy = P.E. = ?

<u>Formula:</u>

P.E. = Wh

P = P.E. / t

<u>Solution:</u>

P.E. = (65)(2)

P.E = 130 Joules

P = P.E. / t

P = 130 / 4

P = 32.5 Watts

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
