When the oscillator is at maximum extension, we know all of its energy is in Potential Energy, so if the total oscillation energy is 4.1 J, we know that at maximum displacement of 0.2 m, that

<span>k= 2E  / A^2 = 2*4.1 J /0.2^2=200 N/m </span>

<span>the frequency of oscillation is (1/2pi) sqrt[k/m] </span>

Answer:

4.6Hz

Explanation:

We first have to derive Oscillation Frequency formula

Maximum velocity = Vmax = wA

Energy = 1/2m(Vmax)²

Energy = 1/2m(wA)²

Frequency = w/2π

Hence,

Oscillation Frequency Formula is given as

F =( 1/2πA)× √2E/m

where in the question,

A = Amplitude = 20.0cm

We convert 20.0cm to meter

100cm = 1m

20cm = ?

= 20÷100 = 0.20m

E = Mechanical energy = 4.1j

m = mass = 0.25kg

Frequency =( 1/2π × 0.20m) × √(2×4.1j)/0.25kg

Frequency = 4.558Hz

Oscillatory frequency approximately is = 4.6Hz

The terrestrial planets are made almost entirely of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. According to modern science, wher
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

They were produced by stars that lived and died before our solar system was born.

Explanation:

According to what it's understood today, all elements heavier than hydrogen (including helium and excluding some that were created in laboratories) are created through nuclear fusion in the core of stars.

They start fusing hydrogen into helium, then as the star grows older helium is fused into beryllium and so on for all the periodic table.

So as far as science understands it today it's a literal truth that we are made of stars. (as almost everything else)

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

at the top

Explanation:

Potential energy is the stored energy, mechanical energy,

or energy possessed by by virtue of the position of an object.an example of potential energy is the energy that a ball possesses by virtue of its sitting at the top of the stairs it being about to roll down the stairs.

Explain how soilds non metals are different from solid metals
marysya [2.9K]
Solid metal is all different types of metals or some thing that a magnet can pick up that's a full hard solid

but a non metal is everything not metal that's a solid like plastic a hot glue gun can burn throught plastic and not metal

so in conclusion metal is stronger and thicker than non modal things
