9. a 1.80 kg block slides on a rough horizontal surface. the block hits a spring with a speed of 2.5m/s and compresses it a distance of 13cm before coming to rest. if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and surface is 0.560, what is the force constant of the spring? (use non-conservative energy principle to solve this problem)

Two red blood cells each have a mass of 9.0 multiply.gif 10-14 kg and carry a negative charge spread uniformly over their surfaces. the repulsion arising from the excess charge prevents the cells from clumping together. one cell carries −2.50 pc of charge and the other −3.10 pc, and each cell can be modeled as a sphere 7.5 μm in diameter. (a) what speed would they need when very far away from each other to get close enough to just touch? assume that there is no viscous drag from any of the surrounding liquid. answer is: 321 m/s how do i find this (b) what is the maximum acceleration of the cells in part (a)? answer is: 1.38e+10 m/s2 how did they find this answer

What is the magnification of a real image if the image is 10.0 cm from a mirror and the object is 50.0 cm from the mirror ? use the equation m=-di/do. a. -5.0 b. 5.0 c. 0.20 d. -0.20

Based on the concept of the wave-like nature of light, huygens' theory of light postulates that the more light was "bent" by a substance the slower it would move while traversing across that substance. a) deflection b) interference c) refraction d) resonance
