Answer:

a) 0.036 J b) 0.036J c) 0.036 d) 1.9m/s e) 0.18 m

Explanation:

Mass of the dart = 0.02kg, the spring was compressed to 6cm

Work needed to compress the spring = 1/2*k*x ^2 where k is the force constant of the spring in N/m, x is the distance it was compressed in m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.5 * 20* 0.06^2 since 6cm = 6 / 100 = 0.06 m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.036J

b) the total energy stored in the spring = the work done to compress the spring = 0.036J

c) kinetic energy of the dart as it leaves the the spring = elastic potential energy stored in the spring = the work done in compressing the = 0.036J using the law of conservation of energy; energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

d) 1/2mv^2 = 0.036

mv^2 = 0.036*2

v^2 = 0.036*2 / 0.02 = 3.6

v = √3.6 = 1.897 approx 1.9m/s

e) kinetic energy of the dart = work done against gravity to get the body to height h

Work done against gravity = potential energy conserved at height = -mgh g is negative because the motion is upward while gravity acts downward

0.036 = 0.02 * 9.81 * h

0.036 / ( 0.02*9.81) = h

h = 0.18 m

Explain how VSEPR theory predicts the shapes of molecules. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the s
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The VSEPR theory and how it predicts the shapes of molecules:

Explanation:

The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory is a model used in chemistry to predict the shapes of individual molecules by the number of electron pairs that they have in the center of the atom. This theory is also based on the notion that the electrons around the atom repel one another. The Valence electrons on the outermost layer of the molecule are the most important in defining the geometry as they are the first to interact with other atoms and will be involved in bonding.

According to your graph, does the wave speed change with wave length?
fiasKO [112]

Yes

Explanation:

From the graph, we can deduce that the wavelength changes with the speed of the wave.

This is a simple linear graph. A linear graph has a steady gradient and it shows two variables that increases proportionately.

Using the graph, we can establish that as the wavelength of the wave increases the time taken for one wave to pass through increases.

The speed of a wave is given as:

                     V = fλ

   f is the frequency of the wave i.e the number of waves that passes through a point per unit of time

  λ is the wavelength of the wave

The vertical axis on the graph shows the time for 1 wave trip, this is the wave period, T

            f = \frac{1}{T}

Therefore;

    speed of the wave = \frac{λ}{T}

This can be evaluated by solving slope of the graph and finding the inverse.

We can see that as the speed of the wave changes, the wavelength will change.
