Answer

given,

mass of block = 0.21 Kg

speed = 1.70 m/s

spring constant = k = 4.50 N/m

using conservation of energy

a)           K.E  =  P.E

 \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

 \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.21 \times 1.7^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 4.5 \times x^2

 0.1348= x^2

        x = 0.367 m

b) if the track is not friction less the maximum compression will be same as the compression in the part a.

All fires require oxygen () There is no oxygen in that room (T) .
Marina CMI [18]

The sentences are invalid and unsound.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The fire is defined as the vigorous oxidation of a substance. Now oxidation can occur in presence of any oxidising agent. Like magnesium in presence of nitrogen in high temperature with a dazzling brownish flame to produce magnesium nitride. So fire can be produced in absence of oxygen.

Oxygen is present everywhere in world. So production of a whole room without oxygen is very tough to produce and costly process. So its very unsound.

How do scientists know the continents were once closer than they are today? Explain your answer in 2-3 complete sentences.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics. 

 

The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift.

A professional cyclist rides a bicycle that is 92 percent efficient. For every 100 joules of energy he exerts as input work on t
emmainna [20.7K]
Efficiency =  Work Output / Work Input

92%  =  Work Output / 100

0.92 =   Work Output / 100

Work Output = 0.92 * 100

Work Output  = 92 joules.

Given the function f(x) = 8x3 − 3x2 − 5x 8, what part of the function indicates that the left and right ends point in opposite d
ale4655 [162]

Answer: The degree of the first term.

Explanation:

The function:

f(x) = 8x^3-3x^2-5x^8

The left and right ends would be indicated when x is changed to -x. When this is substituted, the change is indicated by the first term because only the degree of first term is odd.

Let the left hand side be donated by -x.

Then,

f(-x) =8(-x)^3-3(-x)^2-5(-x)^8\\ \Rightarrow f(-x)=-8x^3-3x^2-5x^8

Hence, the correct option is the degree of the first term indicates the left and right end points of the function.
