Answer:
284.4233 N/m
Explanation:
k = Spring constant
x = Compression of spring = 14.5 cm
U = Potential energy = 2.99 J
The potential energy of a spring is given by

Rearranging to get the value of k

The spring constant is 284.4233 N/m
Answer:
5.0 m/s
Explanation:
The horizontal motion of the salmon is uniform, so the horizontal component of the salmon's velocity is constant and it is

where u is the initial speed and
. The horizontal distance travelled by the salmon is

where d = 1.95 m and t is the time needed to reach the final point.
Re-arranging for t,
(1)
Along the vertical direction, the equation of motion is

where:
y = 0.311 m is the final height reached by the salmon
h = 0 is the initial height
is the vertical component of the initial velocity of the salmon
is the acceleration of gravity
t is the time
Substituting t as found in eq.(1), we get the equation

and we can solve this formula for u, the initial speed of the salmon:

Answer:
1. the pencil would have the momentum and would keep going until it hits the windshield. 2. when the car suddenly accelerates, the pencil would be inert and it would move toward the back of the car until a constant speed from the car is reached.
Alvin (DSV-2) is a manned deep-ocean research submersible owned by the United States Navy and operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The vehicle was built by General Mills' Electronics Group[2] in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Named to honor the prime mover and creative inspiration for the vehicle, Allyn Vine, Alvin was commissioned on 5 June 1964. The submersible is launched from the deep submergence support vessel RV Atlantis (AGOR-25), which is also owned by the U.S. Navy and operated by WHOI. The submersible has made more than 4,400 dives, carrying two scientists and a pilot, to observe the lifeforms that must cope with super-pressures
