Dwight uses a spring (k = 70 n/m) on a horizontal surface to make a launcher for model cars. the spring is attached to a holder that has a mass of 0.3 kg. if he compresses the spring and releases it, the launcher will move back and forth in periodic motion.

a. if he compresses the spring by 0.4 m and releases it, what is the acceleration of the launcher as the spring reaches its natural length?

b. what is the maximum kinetic energy fo the launcher?

c. what is the maximum speed of the launcher?

Laboratory experiments, observational field studies, and model-building are all examples of different forms of scientific investigations.  in what way do laboratory experiments primarily differ from other forms of scientific investigations?   a.  a laboratory experiment is the only accepted form of investigation within the scientific community.  b.  studies about how things behave in nature or studies involving very large objects are best answered through laboratory experiments.  c.  laboratory experiments involve the identification and control of variables.  d.  data can only be generated through laboratory experiments, not other forms of investigation.

1. the materials manager for a billiard ball maker must periodically place orders for resin, one of the raw materials used in producing billiard balls. she knows that manufacturing uses resin at a rate of 50 kilograms each day, and that it costs $.04 per day to carry a kilogram of resin in inventory. she also knows that the order costs for resin are $100 per order, and that the lead time for delivery is four (4) days.2. at what point should resin be reordered? a. 0 kilograms remainingb. 50 kilograms remainingc. 200 kilograms remainingd. 400 kilograms remaininge. 500 kilograms remaining3. if order size was 1,000 kilograms of resin, what would be the length of an order cycle? a. 0.05 daysb. 4 daysc. 16 daysd. 20 dayse. 50 days4. if the order size was 1,000 kilograms of resin, what would be the average inventory level? a. 50 kilogramsb. 200 kilogramsc. 500 kilogramsd. 800 kilogramse. 1,000 kilograms5. if the order size was 1,000 kilograms of resin, what would be the daily total inventory costs, excluding the cost of the resin? a. $5b. $10c. $20d. $25e. $40
