Answer:

1.15 m/s

Explanation:

Part of the question is missing. Found the missing part on google:

"1. A hanging mass of 1500 grams compresses a spring 2.0 cm.   Find the spring constant in N/m."

Solution:

First of all, we need to find the spring constant. We can use Hooke's law:

F=kx

where

F=mg=(1.5 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=14.7 N is the force applied to the spring (the weight of the hanging mass)

x = 2.0 cm = 0.02 m is the compression of the spring

Solving for k, we find the spring constant:

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{14.7}{0.02}=735 N/m

In the second part of the problem, the spring is compressed by

x = 3.0 cm = 0.03 m

So the elastic potential energy of the spring is

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(735)(0.03)^2=0.33 J

This energy is entirely converted into kinetic energy of the cart, which is:

U=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 500 g = 0.5 kg is the mass of the cart

v is its speed

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.33)}{0.5}}=1.15 m/s

Describe the quantum mechanical model of the atom and several observations which support this model.
PIT_PIT [208]

This means that we shouldn't imagine electrons as single objects going around the atom. Instead, all we know is the probability of finding an electron at a particular location. What we end up with is something called an electron cloud. An electron cloud is an area of space in which an electron is likely to be found. It's like a 3-D graph showing the probability of finding the electron at each location in space. Quantum mechanics also tells us that a particle has certain numbers (called quantum numbers) that represent its properties. Just like how materials can be hard or soft, shiny or dull, particles have numbers to describe the properties. These include a particle's orbital quantum numbers, magnetic quantum number, and its spin. No two electrons in an atom can have exactly the same quantum numbers. Orbital quantum numbers tell you what energy level the electron is in. In the Bohr model, this represents how high the orbit is above the nucleus; higher orbits have more energy. The first orbit is n=1, the second is n=2, and so on. The magnetic quantum number is just a number that represents which direction the electron is pointing. The other important quantum mechanical property, called spin, is related to the fact that electrons come in pairs. In each pair, one electron spins one way (with a spin of one half), and the other electron spins the other way (with a spin of negative one half). Two electrons with the same spin cannot exist as a pair. This might seem kind of random, but it has effects in terms of how magnetic material is. Materials that have unpaired electrons are more likely to be magnetic

Resonance occurs when an object vibrating at or near the resonant frequency of a second object to vibrate. What form of waves ar
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Resonance depends on objects, this may happen for example when you play guitar in a given room, you may find that for some notes the walls or some object vibrate more than for others. This is because those notes are near the frequency of resonance of the walls.

So waves involved are waves that can move or affect objects (in this case the pressure waves of the sound, and the waves that are moving the wall).

this means that the waves are mechanic waves.

Now, in electromagnetics, you also can find resonance frequencies for electromagnetic waves trapped in things called cavities, but this is a different topic.

What other structures is it near hypothalamus?
Colt1911 [192]
The other structures near the hypothalamus are thalamus and the pituitary gland. 
Hypothalamus is located below the thalamus and is part of the limbic system. It is an integral part of the brain, it is a small cone-shaped structure that projects down ward from the brain, ending in the pituitary stalk, a tubular connection to the pituitary gland.

3) If an airplane is in flight cruising at constant velocity, what can be said about the net work
Crazy boy [7]

Explanation:

<h2>Yes!</h2>

<h3>In physics, constant velocity occurs when there is no net force acting on the object causing it to accelerate. In terms of airplane flight, the two main forces influencing its velocity forward are drag and thrust. At a constant altitude, when the force of thrust equals the opposing force of drag, then the airplane will experience uniform motion in one direction. This can be further explained by Newton’s First Law. </h3>
