A 0.420 kg block of wood rests on a horizontal frictionless surface and is attached to a spring (also horizontal) with a 20.5 N/m force constant that is at its equilibrium length. A 0.0600 kg wad of Play-Doh is thrown horizontally at the block with a speed of 2.80 m/s and sticks to it. Determine the amount by which the Play-Doh-block system compresses the spring.

Suppose a diode consists of a cylindrical cathode with a radius of 6.200×10^−2 cm , mounted coaxially within a cylindrical anode with a radius of 0.5580 cm . the potential difference between the anode and cathode is 260 v . an electron leaves the surface of the cathode with zero initial speed (v initial=0). find its speed vfinal when it strikes the anode.

Why is rain likely when warm, moisture-laden air meets cold air? a) the lighter warm air will rise and cool down, causing condensation and rain. b) the cold air moves faster and pushes the warm air away, causing condensation and rain. c) the moisture in the warm air condenses on contact with the cold air, causing rain to fall. d) the cold air mixes with the warm air, reducing its temperature causing moisture to condense.
