a screw is a type of simple machine. if we look closely at a screw, we see that it is really a wrapped around a central core.

a) wedge
b) lever
c) fulcrum
d) inclined plane

A10.0 kg cart and a 15kg cart are locked together with a compressed spring between them. they are then released so that the spring pushes the two carts apart. the 10.0 kg cart is moving at 4.5 m/s afterward. how fast is the 15kg cart moving? 3.0 m/s 2.0 m/s 4.5 m/s 5.0 m/s

The image shows the positions of a car on a roller coaster track. arrange the cars in order based on their gravitational potential energy. begin with the lowest potential energy and end with the highest.

Ablock of mass m slides on a horizontal frictionless table with an initial speed v0 . it then compresses a spring of force constant k and is brought to rest. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. how much is the spring compressed x from its natural length? 1) x = v0*sqrt(k/(mg)) 2) x=v0*sqrt(m/k) 3) x=v0*((mk)/g) 4) x=v0*sqrt(k/m) 5) x=v0*(m/kg) 6) x=v0*sqrt((mg)/k) 7) x=(v0)^2/(2g) 8) x=v0*(k/(mg)) 9) x=(v0)^2/(2m) 10) x=v0*((mg)/k)
