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)
From the diagram we have that
Therefore the direction is 30° from east of south
<span>Nitrogen is used to protect steel from water because nitrogen has stable physical properties that enables the nitrogen to be resistant to water molecules. Nitrogen also serves as a coat for the steel to not be corroded easily</span>
-- 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.
