Answer:
Assuming air resistance is negligible, all of the potential energy that the object has at the top of the ramp is converted into kinetic energy by the time it gets to the bottom of the ramp. This is because no matter what path the object takes to move the 5m vertically (ie. falling straight down v. sliding on the ramp), gravity does the same amount of work on it.
Thus, calculate the total amount of potential energy at the top of the ramp:
Ep=mgh
Ep=4(9.81)5
Ep=196.2 Joules
Because all of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy in the object by the bottom of the ramp, the object hits the spring with 196.2J of energy.
By using the formula for elastic potential energy, you can calculate exactly how far the spring compresses.
196.2=(1/2)k(x^2)
392.4=(350)(x^2)
1.1211=x^2
sqrt(1.1211)=x
x=1.059m
As for the last part of the question, after the object compresses the spring fully and stops momentarily, the spring converts it's elastic potential energy back into kinetic energy in the object and pushes it away again.

Answer:
Comets
Explanation:
Comets are planetary celestial bodies consisting of ice and dust, sometimes rocky particles formed in the region of the solar system. Long-period comets propagate towards the Sun by gravitational perturbations caused by passing stars. Some comets usually hyberbolic comets, move through the inner Solar System prior to entering the interstellar region. Short period comet lies beyond the orbit of the Neptune.
The Jovian planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Therefore, leftovers of comets (planetesimal bodies) formed in the region of the solar system that are now occupied by the Jovian planets is due to the dusty particles associated with the comets.
The blue color of the sky is the
result of scattering. The answer is letter B. it is specifically called the
Rayleigh scattering. This blue color is the result of the incoming rays of the Sun
into the earth’s atmosphere. It has he lowest wavelength which as we all see is
the blue spectrum of light.
