Answer:
a) V = 0.82m/s
b) Vmax = 0.985 m/s
Explanation:
By conservation of energy we know that:
Eo = Ef 
Solving for V we get:
V = 0.82 m/s
To find the maximum speed we will do the same to an intermediate point where the compression is X and the distance for the work donde by frictions is given by (Xmax - X) = (0.28m - X):

Then we have to solve for V, derive and equal zero in order to find position X. After solving the derivative we get:
X = 0.1m Replacing this value into the equation for Vmax:
Vmax = 0.985m/s
Hello!
In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy.
This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending.
The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.
Answer:
The radius of the gold nucleus is 7.1x10⁻¹⁵m
Explanation:
The nearest distance is:
(eq. 1)
Where
z = atomic number of gold = 79
e = electron charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C
k = electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹Nm²C²
energy of the particle = 32 MeV = 5.12x10⁻¹²J
At the potential energy is zero, all the energy will be kinetic energy:

Where
m = 4 mp = mass of proton

Replacing in equation 1
