$Given:\\a=5.4 \frac{m}{s^2} \\v_0= 25\frac{m}{s} \\\\Find:\\s=?\\\\Solution:\\\\s=v_0t- \frac{at^2}{2} \\\\a= \frac{\Delta v}{t} \\\\v_e=0\Rightarrow \Delta v=v_0\\\\t= \frac{v_0}{a} \\\\s= \frac{v_0^2}{a} - \frac{v_0^2}{2a} =\frac{v_0^2}{2a} \\\\s= \frac{ (25\frac{m}{s})2 }{2\cdot 5.4 \frac{m}{s^2} } \approx 57.9m\\\\C\rightarrow Correct\;answer$

A mass m attached to a horizontal massless spring with spring constant k, is set into simple harmonic motion. its maximum displa

Lesechka [4]

At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:
$U_i= \frac{1}{2} ka^2$
while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:
$K_i =0$
And the total energy of the system is
$E_i = U_i+K= \frac{1}{2}ka^2$

Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:
$U_f = 0$
while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is
$K_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$
And the total energy is
$E_f = U_f + K_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore $E_i = E_f$ . So we can write
$\frac{1}{2} ka^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
that we can solve to find an expression for v:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{ka^2}{m} }$

Use your periodic table to answer the following question.

Helium has only 2 electrons in it's valence shell

So, option D is your answer.

Hope this helps!
