A 6.0 kg bowling ball is sliding (without rolling) at 5.0 m/s on a level floor when it hits one end of a horizontal spring. The opposite side of the spring is attached to a rigid wall. The spring compresses a distance of 0.77 m while stopping the ball. Which of the following most closely approximates the average force that the spring applies to the ball as it comes to a stop?

How does convection affect our atmosphere? our layers of earth? our oceans?

During spring semester at mit, residents of the parallel buildings of the east campus dorms battle one another with large catapults that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. a balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. assume that the stretching of the hose obeys hooke's law with a spring constant of 89.0 n/m. if the hose is stretched by 5.80 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length? unitst 3 number-1497 the tolerance is +/-5% open show work click if you would like to show work for this question:

Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. initially, air is at 400 kpa and 17°c. the paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 75 kj/kg of work has been transferred to air. during this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to triple. calculate the required amount of heat transfer in kj/kg.
