Initially sliding with a speed of 1.9 m/s, a 1.8 kg block collides with a spring and compresses it 0.35 m before coming to rest.

what is the force constant of the spring?

Let k =  the force constant of the spring (N/m).

The strain energy (SE) stored in the spring when it is compressed by a distance x=0.35 m is
SE = (1/2)*k*x²
     = 0.5*(k N/m)*(0.35 m)²
     = 0.06125k J

The KE (kinetic energy) of the sliding block is
KE = (1/2)*mass*velocity²
     = 0.5*(1.8 kg)*(1.9 m/s)²
     = 3.249 J

Assume that negligible energy is lost when KE is converted into SE.
Therefore
0.06125k = 3.249
k = 53.04 N/m

Answer:  53 N/m  (nearest integer)

The binding of acetylcholine to its receptor at the neuromuscular junction causes the opening of a
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: opening of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channels.

Explanation:

Neuromuscular junction is a special junction formed between a motor neurone and a muscle fibre. The junction is fortified with nerves and receptors that helps in the transmission of signals from the motor neurone to the muscle fibre in order to bring about the desired voluntary movements through muscular contraction.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor are activated through the binding of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This action leads to influx of sodium ions to accomplish endplate potential.

How much energy is needed to generate 0.71 x 10-16 kg of mass?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

6.39 J of energy is needed to generate 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg mass

Explanation:

According to the Equation: E = mc²

where the mass, m = 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg

the speed of light, c = 3 * 10⁸ m/s

The amount of energy needed to generate a mass of 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg is calculated as follows:

E = (0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶) (3 * 10⁸)²

E = 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ * 9 * 10¹⁶

E = 0.71 * 9

E = 6.39 J

what is the potential energy of the ball when it gets to its maximum height just before falling back to the ground​
love history [14]

Answer:

I will say that the the potential energy will be at its maximum.

Explanation:

potential energy deals with gravity and gravity deals with height, so when a object is in its maximum height it will have the maximum potential energy.
