Answer

Assuming the mass of the car, m = 43000 kg

initial speed u = 0

vertical distance moved, h = 8.8 m

spring constant k = 5 x  10⁵ N / m

acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s²

From law of conservation of energy ,

Gravitational potential energy at starting position =potential energy of the spring at maximum compression

                m g h =\dfrac{1}{2}k x^2

                x = \sqrt{\dfrac{2mgh}{k}}

                x = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 43000\times 9.8\times 8.8}{5\times 10^5}}

                    x = 14.83 m

If the mass of the car is equal to 43000 Kg the spring is compressed to 14.83 m

A sinusoidal electromagnetic wave is propagating in vacuum. At a given point P and at a particular time, the electric field is i
olasank [31]

Answer:

a

The direction of the wave propagation is the negative  z -axis

b

The amplitude of  electric and magnetic field are  A_E= 3.35*10^5 V/m ,

A_M= 1.12 *10^{-3} T respectively

Explanation:

According to right hand rule, your finger (direction of electric field) would be pointing in the positive  x-axis  i.e towards your right let your palms be face toward the direction of the magnetic field i.e negative y-axis  (toward the ground ) Then anywhere your thumb stretched out is facing is the direction of propagation of the wave here in this case is the negative  z -axis

             The Intensity of the wave is mathematically represented as

                          I = \frac{1}{2} c \epsilon _O E_{rms}^2

Given that I = 7.43 \frac{kW}{cm^2} =  7.43 \frac{*10^3}{*10^-{4} }= 7.43*10^7 \frac{W}{m^2}

Making E_{rms} the subject we have

                   E_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{I}{0.5*c*\epsilon_o} }

Substituting values as given on the question

                E_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{7.43 *10^7[\frac{W}{m^2} ]}{0.5 * 3.08*10^8 *8.85*10^{-12}} }

                          = 2.37*10^5 \ V/m

The amplitude of the electric field is mathematically represented as

                  A_E = \sqrt{2} * E_{rms}

                         = \sqrt{2} * 2.37*10^5

                        A_E= 3.35*10^5 V/m

The amplitude of the magnetic field is mathematically represented as

                       A_M = \frac{A_E}{c}

Substituting value

                      A_M = \frac{3.35 *10^5}{3.0*10^8}

                             A_M= 1.12 *10^{-3} T

how can there be so many different substances in the world if there are only a few elements that are common? 
LuckyWell [14K]
-- If there are only  <em>10</em>  elements in the universe that can make compound molecules, and a compound molecule can be formed by combining  1,  2,  3, or  4  different elements, then that's already the possibility of  at least 400 different molecules.

-- There are many more than  10  elements that can combine to form compound molecules.

-- Every single "<em>organic</em>" molecule, of which there are thousands, is the combination of <em>carbon</em> with other elements.

-- Most all of the substances that can be distilled out of oil, including the paraffin waxes, the alcohols, gasoline, kerosene, butane, propane, octane, and natural gas, are made of just carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, only with different numbers of each one. 

-- Plastics, drugs, rubber, and DNA are examples of molecules that are made of <em>hundreds</em> of atoms.

Around the turn of the twentieth century, inventor Robert Shuman was engineering products that used energy directly from the Sun
MrRa [10]

Answer: First stage

Explanation:

The four stages of technological design include:

• identifying a problem.

• Designing a solution.

• Implement, build, and test the design.

• Determine if solution met the need.

In this scenario, Robert Shuman identified the problem. This was depicted as he stated that coal and oil would eventually run out and that humans needed to learn how to use the more-abundant energy resource of the Sun,
