Aspring with spring constant k is anchored to the wall on one side of a hockey rink. a hockey puck is pressed against the spring and then released to slide across the ice. in the process the hockey puck gains a kinetic energy k. derive an expression for the initial compression of the spring x in terms of k and k.

Two conductors, a and b, are each in the shape of a tetrahedron. but of different sizes. they are charged in the following manner: 1. tetrahedron a is charged from an electrostatic generator to charge q. 2. tetrahedron a is briefly touched to tetrahedron b. 3. steps 1 and 2 are repeated until the charge on tetrahedron b reaches a maximum value. if the charge on tetrahedron b was q/4 after the first time it touched tetrahedron a. what is the final charge qbmax on tetrahedron b?

Convection currents are caused by differences in what two things?

As microwave light travels through a liquid, it moves at a speed of 2.2 x 108 m/s. if the frequency of this light wave is 1.1 x 108 hz, what is the wavelength of this microwave?
