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.

List 10 uses of metals​
algol [13]

Answer:

Shiny metals such as copper, silver, and gold are often used for decorative arts, jewelry, and coins.

Strong metals such as iron and metal alloys such as stainless steel are used to build structures, ships, and vehicles including cars, trains, and trucks.

Some metals have specific qualities that dictate their use. For example, copper is a good choice for wiring because it is particularly good at conducting electricity. Tungsten is used for the filaments of light bulbs because it glows white-hot without melting.

Nonmetals are plentiful and useful. These are among the most commonly used:

Oxygen, a gas, is absolutely essential to human life. Not only do we breathe it and use it for medical purposes, but we also use it as an important element in combustion.

Sulfur is valued for its medical properties and as an important ingredient in many chemical solutions. Sulfuric acid is an important tool for industry, used in batteries and manufacturing.

Chlorine is a powerful disinfectant. It is used to purify water for drinking and fill swimming pools.

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

-30°C

Explanation:

F-32/180 =C-0/100

or, -22-32/180=C/100

or, -54/180*100=C

or, -0.3*100=C

therefore, C= -30

-22°F = -30°C

a glass bottle of soda is sealed with a screw cap the absolute pressure of the gas inside the bottle is 1.80*10^5 pa. assuming t
eduard

The force exerted by a pressure of any gas over a surface its given by the formula P=F/S (where P is pressure, F force and S surface).

We can multiply both sides of the formula by S to obtain the force.

P*S=(F*S)/S

P*S=F

Solve for P=1.80*10^5 Pa and S=4.10*10^-4 m^2 ([Pa] =[N/m^s])

(1.80*10^5 N/m^s) * (4.10*10^-4 m^2) =F

73.8 N =F
