Answer:
A. when the mass has a displacement of zero
Explanation:
The velocity of a mass on a spring can be calculated by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the total energy of the mass-spring system is equal to the sum of the elastic potential energy (U) of the spring and the kinetic energy (K) of the mass:
where
k is the spring constant
x is the displacement of the mass with respect to the equilibrium position of the spring
m is the mass
v is the velocity of the mass
Since the total energy E must remain constant, we can notice the following:
- When the displacement is zero (x=0), the velocity must be maximum, because U=0 so K is maximum
- When the displacement is maximum, the velocity must be minimum (zero), because U is maximum and K=0
Based on these observations, we can conclude that the velocity of the mass is at its maximum value when the displacement is zero, so the correct option is A.
Answer:
12 meters per second (12 m/s)
why?
Because if you divide 10 seconds by 10 and 120 by 10, you will get 12 meters in 1 second.
Answer:
The weight of the girl = 1045.86 kg/m³
Explanation:
Density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body to the volume of that body. The S.I unit of density is kg/m³.
From Archimedes principle,
R.d = Density of the person/Density of water = Weight of the person in air/Upthrust.
⇒ D₁/D₂ = W/U............................... Equation 1.
Where D₁ = Density of the person, D₂ = Density of water, W = Weight of the person in air, U = Upthrust in water.
Making D₁ the subject of the equation,
D₁ = D₂(W/U)................................... Equation 2
<em>Given: D₂ = 1000 kg/m³ , W = 509.45 N, U = lost in weight = weight in air - weight in water = 509.45 - 22.34 = 487.11 N</em>
<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>
D₁ = 1000(509.45/487.11)
D₁ = 1045.86 kg/m³
Thus the weight of the girl = 1045.86 kg/m³

I believe if it were heavier with more mass, then the sun would pull it in and there would be no mercury. It might also be hotter.

<em>Explanation below</em>
Explanation:
<u>Speed vs Velocity
</u>
These are two similar physical concepts. They only differ in the fact that the velocity is vectorial, i.e. having magnitude and direction, and the speed is scalar, just the magnitude regardless of the direction. They are strongly related to the concepts of displacement and distance, which are the vectorial and scalar versions of the space traveled by a moving object. The velocity can be computed as
Where 
is the position vector and t is the time. The speed is
To compute , we only need to know the initial and final positions and subtract them. To compute d, we need to add all the distances traveled by the object, regardless of their directions.
Maggie walks to a friend's house, located 1500 meters from her place. The initial position is 0 and the final position is 1500 m. The displacement is
and the velocity is
Now, we know Maggie had to make three different turns of direction to finally get there. This means her distance is more than 1500 m. Let's say she walked 500 m in all the turns, then the distance is
If she took the same time to reach her destiny, she would have to run faster, because her average speed is
