Answer:

D

Explanation:

When the spring is wound, then it gathers potential energy in the form of tension energy. As it slowly unwinds, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy of the hands' movements of the clock. This energy is channeled through the use of cogs/gears in the clock.

A toy cart at the end of a string 0.70 m long moves in a circle on a table. The cart has a mass of 2.0 kg and the string has a b
luda_lava [24]
Given that the mass of the toy cart is 2.0 kg and and the acceleration is unknown, the normal formula would be a=f/m where a is acceleration, f is force and m is mass but the string's breaking strength is 40n so I think the formula in this case will be f is greater than m*a
40 is greater than 2a
40 is greater than 2a
40/2 is greater than 2a/2
20m/s² is greater than a 
Therefore the maximum speed the toy cart should have should be less than 20m/s²

An electron in an atom has an uncertainty of 0.2 nm. If it is doubled to 0.4 nm by what factor does the uncertainty in momentum
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The uncertainty in momentum changes by a factor of 1/2.

Explanation:

By Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, ΔpΔx ≥ h/2π where Δp = uncertainty in momentum and Δx = uncertainty in position = 0.2 nm. The uncertainty in momentum is thus Δp ≥ h/2πΔx. If the uncertainty in position is doubled, that is Δx₁ = 2Δx = 0.4 nm, the uncertainty in momentum Δp₁ now becomes Δp₁ ≥ h/2πΔx₁ = h/2π(2Δx) = (h/2πΔx)/2 = Δp/2.

So, the uncertainty in momentum changes by a factor of 1/2.

Describe the electron transfers that occur in the formation of calcium fluoride from elemental calcium and elemental fluorine.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Check explanation

Explanation:

In the formation of calcium fluoride we take calcium and fluorine.

in elemental form calcium exist in solid form and fluorine in gaseous form.

formation of compound takes place to complete their octet, in case of calcium  need to remove two electron and need to add one elecron in fluorine to complete their octet so two electron will ransferred from calcium to two fluorine atom.

You are standing in a building whose height (40m) you throw a ball downward at a angle of -30 at a speed of (10m/s) acceleration
jeyben [28]

Answer: 3.41 s

Explanation:

Assuming the question is to find the time t the ball is in air, we can use the following equation:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin \theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Where:

y=0m is the final height of the ball

y_{o}=40 m is the initial height of the ball

V_{o}=10 m/s is the initial velocity of the ball

t is the time the ball is in air

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due to gravity  

\theta=30\°

Then:

0 m=40 m+(10 m/s)(sin(30\°))t-\frac{1}{2}9.8 m/s^{2}t^{2}

0 m=40 m+5m/s t-4.9 m/s^{2}t^{2}

Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1 and rearranging:

4.9 m/s^{2}t^{2}-5m/s t-40 m=0

At this point we have a quadratic equation of the form at^{2}+bt+c=0, which can be solved with the following formula:

t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

Where:

a=4.9

b=-5

c=-40

Substituting the known values:

t=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(4.9)(-40)}}{2(4.9)}

Solving the equation and choosing the positive result we have:

t=3.41 s  This is the time the ball is in air

Which type of matter is gold an element used in making jewelry A.) A heterogeneous mixture B.) A pure substance C.) A crystallin
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

<em>The gold used in the making of jewelry is usually not pure but a heterogeneous mixture of metals. Pure gold is quite soft and even though it may look better in appearance compared to those made using heterogeneous mixtures, it usually bends easily. Hence, in order to make the jewelry more durable, gold is usually mixed with other metals to form a heterogeneous mixture. </em>

The correct option is A.
