A3.00 kg object is fastened to a light spring, with the intervening cord passing over a pulley. the pulley is frictionless, and its inertia may be neglected. the object is released from rest when the spring is unstretched. if the object drops 10.0 cm before stopping, find (a) the spring constant of the spring and (b) the speed of the object when it is 5.00 cm below its starting point.

Part a)

k = 588.6 N/m

Part b)

v = 0.7 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that initially block is at rest

now if block is released from rest then it will go down by 10 cm and again comes to rest

so here we have

Part a)

Work done by gravity + work done by spring force = change in kinetic energy

Part b)

Now when spring is stretch by x = 5 cm then the speed of the block is given as

here we have

a cold ice-tea.

pour in room temperature or cold water. cover the pitcher and refrigerate. steep white or green tea for 6 to 8 hours; steep black or oolong tea for 8 to 12 hours.jun 28, 2015

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
