For lunch, you and your friends decide to stop at the nearest deli and have a sandwich made fresh for you with 0.300 kg of italian ham. the slices of ham are weighed on a plate of mass 0.400 kg placed atop a vertical spring of negligible mass and force constant of 200 n/m. the slices of ham are dropped on the plate all at the same time from a height of 0.250 m. they make a totally inelastic collision with the plate and set the scale into vertical simple harmonic motion (shm). you may assume that the collision time is extremely small.
a) what is the amplitude of oscillation a of the scale after the slices of ham land on the plate?
b) what is the period of oscillation t of the scale?

Apatient has a history of poor nutrition. he has skin rashes, bleeding gums, and a cut that hasn’t healed in a long time. what vitamin deficiency most likely caused this symptom?

Assume that two of the electrons at the negative terminal have attached themselves to a nearby neutral atom. there is now a negative ion with a charge -2e at this terminal. what are the electric potential and electric potential energy of the negative ion relative to the electron? the electric potential and the electric potential energy are both twice as much. the electric potential is twice as much and the electric potential energy is the same. the electric potential is the same and the electric potential energy is twice as much. the electric potential and the electric potential energy are both the same. the electric potential is the same and the electric potential energy is increased by the mass ratio of the oxygen ion to the electron. the electric potential is twice as much and the electric potential energy is increased by the mass ratio of the oxygen ion to the electron.

Light from two different sources are incident upon the same side of a polarizing filter. light from one source is polarized with total intensity ip, while light from the other source is unpolarized with total intensity iu. as you rotate the polarizing filter through 360 degrees, the intensity of the transmitted light on the other side varies by a factor of 9. what is the relative intensity of the initial polarized source to the unpolarized source, or ip/iu?
