A group of students wants to determine the internal resistance of a battery. They connect the battery to a variable resistor. The students measure the potenial differnce across the battery as a function of the current throught the battery as they vary the resistance. Which of the following analyses of the data could be used to determine the internal resistance of the battery? A. Divide the potential difference across the battery by the current through it for each data point. The average of these calculations gives the internal resistance of the battery.
B. Graph the potential difference across the battery as a function of the current through it. Extrapolate to find the y- intercept and divide this by the average of the current measurements to find the internal resistance of the battery.
C. Find the best-fit straight line for a graph of potential difference across the battery as a function of the current through it. The absolute value of the slope represents the internal resistance of the battery.
D. This data cannot be analyzed to give the internal resistance of the battery, because the potential difference across the battery does not depend on the current.

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
