base your answer to this question on the information below and on your knowledge of physics. A toy launcher that is used to laun

ch small plastic spheres horizontally contains a spring with a spring constant of 50. Newtons per meter. The spring is compressed a distance of 0.10 meter when the launcher is ready to launch a plastic sphere. The spring is released and a 0.10-kilogram plastic sphere is fired from the launcher. Calculate the maximum speed with which the plastic sphere will be launched.

Answer: v = 2.24 m/s

Explanation: The <u>Law</u> <u>of</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>of</u> <u>Energy</u> states that total energy is constant in any process and, it cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.

So, in the toy launcher, the energy of the compressed spring, called <u>Elastic</u> <u>Potential</u> <u>Energy (PE)</u>, transforms into the movement of the plastic sphere, called <u>Kinetic</u> <u>Energy (KE)</u>. Since total energy must be constant:

KE_{i}+PE_{i}=KE_{f}+PE_{f}

where the terms with subscript i are related to the initial of the process and the terms with subscript f relates to the final process.

The equation is calculated as:

\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}+0=0+\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

\frac{1}{2}50(0.1)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}(0.1)v^{2}

v^{2}=\frac{50(0.1)^{2}}{0.1}

v=\sqrt{50(0.1)}

v=\sqrt{5}

v = 2.24

The maximum speed the plastic sphere will be launched is 2.24 m/s.

Na+/k+–atpase is considered to be an electrogenic pump because
alexira [117]
<span>Na+/K+ ATPase (sodium pump) is considered to be an electrogenic pump because during every transport cycle, it transports 3 Na+ ions out of the cell and 2 K+ ions into the cell. This leads to the movement of one net positive charge out of the cell making this process electrogenic.</span>

A sinusoidal wave travels along a string. The time for a particular point to move from maximum displacement to zero is 0.13 s. W
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Part a)

T = 0.52 s

Part b)

f = 1.92 Hz

Part c)

speed = 3.65 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the particle move from its maximum displacement to its mean position in t = 0.13 s

so total time period of the particle is given as

T = 4\times 0.13 = 0.52 s

now we have

Part a)

T = time to complete one oscillation

so here it will move to and fro for one complete oscillation

so T = 0.52 s

Part b)

As we know that frequency and time period related to each other as

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{0.52}

f = 1.92 Hz

Part c)

As we know that

wavelength = 1.9 m

frequency = 1.92 Hz

so wave speed is given as

speed = wavelength \times frequency

speed = 1.92 \times 1.9

speed = 3.65 m/s

When the voltage is at a maximum positive value, the current is at a value that is_________.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

When the voltage is at a maximum positive value, the the current is at a value that is maximum and positive

Explanation:

We know that the relation between the Voltage and the current is given using the Ohm's law, which states that the voltage (V) is directly proportional to the current (I)

Mathematically,

V ∝ I

Hence,

When the voltage is at a maximum positive value, the the current is at a value that is maximum and positive
