A rifle fires a 2.90 x 10-2-kg pellet straight upward, because the pellet rests on a compressed spring that is released when the trigger is pulled. The spring has a negligible mass and is compressed by 8.37 x 10-2 m from its unstrained length. The pellet rises to a maximum height of 7.23 m above its position on the compressed spring. Ignoring air resistance, determine the spring constant.

586.60N/m

Explanation:

In this scenario, the elastic potential energy of the spring is converted into potential energy.

0.5*K*x^2 = mgh

Thus K = 2mgh/x^2

=(2*2.90*10^-2*9.8*7.23)/(8.37*10^-2)^2

=586.599

Therefore K = 586.60N/m

freezing

deposition

condensation

explanation;

melting also called fusion is the process where solid becomes liquid, sublimation is the process where solid becomes gaseous without first changing to liquid, deposition involves change from gaseous to solid state, freezing involves change from liquid to solid, boiling or evaporation involves change of liquid to gaseous state, while condensation is the change from gaseous state to liquid state.

endothermic reactions involves absorption of heat from the surroundings or the environment while exothermic reactions involves loss of heat energy to the surroundings.

in this case, sublimation, evaporation and melting are endothermic reactions (gain energy from the environment) while, freezing, deposition and condensation are exothermic (loss of energy to the surroundings) reactions.
