A2.61-kg mass is pushed against a horizontal spring of force constant 23.3 n/cm on a frictionless air table. the spring is attached to the tabletop, and the mass is not attached to the spring in any way. when the spring has been compressed enough to store 10.7 j of potential energy in it, the mass is suddenly released from rest.

Cells in the nervous system have a potential difference of 70 mv across the cell membrane separating the interior of the cell from the extracellular fluid. this potential difference is maintained by ion pumps that move charged ions across the membrane. is this an emf? select the correct answer and explanation. 1)no. the ion pumps cannot separate charges; thus, they cannot create a potential difference. 2)yes. the ion pumps cannot separate charges, but they still can create a potential difference. 3)yes. the ion pumps can actively separate charge; thus, they can create a potential difference. 4)no. the ion pumps can separate charges, but they cannot create a potential difference.
