When you hold a spinning wheel, the wheel and you, chair included, form a system that obeys the principle of "conservation of angular momentum". This means that any changes in angular momentum within the system must accompanied by an equal and opposite change, so the net force is zero.
The question is about unclear since no picture provided. But from the question, it could be guessed that the box is moving back and forth on the frictionless plane at the amplitude of A in simple harmonic motion.
Answer:
D. At x=0, it's acceleration is at a maximum
Explanation:
As the box move forward, it reaches point A and than move backward. Theoretically, the box will move backwards, through its origin, to point -A and then going forward.
Point A is the maximum displacement of the box in this case. At this point, the box instantaneously stop to go backward. Therefore the velocity at that moment is zero.
From point -A, the box travel forward and keep building up speed due to the release in potential energy of the spring. And at point x=0, the velocity become maximum. After point x=0, the velocity of the box slows down due to the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy of the spring. And as it reaches point A, it reaches zero velocity.
The same can be said as the box travels backward from point A to -A
Answer:
I think the answer must be A.
The forces (what causes the ball to accelerate) are gravity, friction, and the normal force. In this case, gravity is a downward force caused by the gigantic mass of the Earth and the mass of the ball. Keep in mind that a force is acceleration. Acceleration is a change in velocity. The ball speeds up. Than it stops speeding up at a certain point where the frictional force (along with air friction) equals the parallel component of gravity.
Newton's Second Law States- The greater mass of an object, the more force it will take to accelerate the object.
