Neil and Gus are having a competition to see who can launch a marble highest in the air using their own spring. Neil has a firm

spring (kNeil = 50.8 N/m), but it can be compressed only a maximum of yNeil, max = 14.0 cm. Gus’s spring is less firm than Neil’s (kGus = 12.7 N/m), but its maximum compression is greater (yGus, max = 27.0 cm). Given that the mass of the marble is 4.5 g and ignoring the effects of air resistance, who can launch the marble the highest and what is the winning height? Assume the marble starts from the same height, in both cases when the springs are at maximum compression.

Answer:

Neil (221.2m) can throw the marble higher than Gus (205.4 m)

Explanation:

Let's use the law of conservation of energy, the selected points are, the - --    maximum compression of the spring

        Eo = Ke = ½ k x2

Maximum height

        Ef = U = mgh

As there is no rubbing

         E = Ef

         ½ k x² = ½ m g h

         h = k x² / m

Let's calculate for each person

Neil

         x1 = 14.0 cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.140 m

         m = 4.5 gr (1 kg / 1000 g) = 4.5 10⁻³ kg

         h1 = 50.8 0.140 2 /4.5 10⁻³

         h1 = 221.2 m

Gus

        x2 = 27.0 cm = 0.270 m

        h2 = 12.7 0.270 2 /4.5 10⁻³

        h2 = 205.4 m

We see that Neil (221.2m) can throw the marble higher than Gus (205.4 m)

Ions can have a positive or negative charge. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F
mixas84 [53]

From among the choices provided, the more appropriate
answer is ' T ', the initial letter often used to represent
words that include 'true', 'truth', 'trust', etc., (as well as
'tree', 'train', 'transmit', 'Transylvania', 'trachea', 'travesty',
and 'trick', which are irrelevant to the present discussion).

This response is the most fitting and appropriate, because
the statement that precedes the list of allowable choices is
exemplary in its accuracy and veracity.  An ion can, in fact,
have a positive or negative charge, although the same ion
cannot have both.

How to understand that an inductor behaves like short circuit and capacitor like an open circuit in steady state in a network?
garik1379 [7]
It depends on the steady-state frequency. At zero frequency an inductor behaves like an open circuit. As the frequency increases, the inductor acts more like an open circuit and a capacitator acts more like a short circuit
