The maximum speed, the box can attain is 16.5 m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to law of conservation of energy, energy can be transferred from one form to another. So here the spring force is converted to kinetic energy experienced by the box due to the spring.

As we know, that spring force is directly proportional to the square of the displacement and spring constant, the conservation of energy will be give

\frac{kx^{2} }{2} =\frac{mv^{2} }{2}

So, we know that spring constant k = 850 N/m, the displacement experienced by the spring due to compression is given as x = 0.4 m. The mass of the box is given as m = 0.5 kg and the velocity we have to find.

v^{2} = \frac{kx^{2} }{m}

v^{2} = \frac{850 \times 0.4 \times 0.4}{0.5} =272 \\ \\v=\sqrt{272} =16.5\ m/s

Thus, the maximum speed, the box can attain is 16.5 m/s.

Hey there! 

The answer to your question is: Iron

There is a very high concentration of iron and other metals in the mesosphere. There is a further buildup of these metals when meteorites burn up in the atmosphere and release such metal atoms. 

Thank you!

Two objects, Object A and Object B, need to be identified. Object A's index of refraction is determined to be 1.77, and Object B
Slav-nsk [51]

The correct answer is

C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.

In fact, the index of refraction of a material is defined as:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material. Rearranging the equation, we can write the speed of light in the material as:

v=\frac{c}{n}

So we that, the smaller the refractive index n, the greater the speed of light in the material, v. In this problem, object B has lower refractive index than object A, so light travels faster in object B.

You're in a car that gets 28 miles per gallon of gas, driving it at a constant speed. If you took the gas from the car tank, and
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The diameter of the hose is 0.326 mm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of car = 28 miles/galllon

We need to calculate the radius

The rate of flow of fluid is from the equation of continuity

\dfrac{V}{t}=Av

Where, A = area of cross sectional

\dfrac{V}{t}=\pi r^2v

We know that,

The velocity is the ratio of displacement of gas per unit time.

\dfrac{V}{t}=\pi r^\dfrac{x}{t}

\dfrac{V}{x}=\pi r^2

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{0.00378541}{28\times1609.34}=\pi r^2

r=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.00378541}{28\times1609.34\times\pi}}

r=1.63\times10^{-4}\ m

We need to calculate the diameter of the hose

d = 2r

Put the value of r

d=2\times1.63\times10^{-4}

d=0.326\ mm

Hence, The diameter of the hose is 0.326 mm.
