Answer:
<em>Both kinetic energies are equal</em>
Explanation:
<u>Kinetic Energy </u>
Is the type of energy of an object due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the mass and the square of the speed.
The equation for the kinetic energy is:
Where:
m = mass of the object
v = speed of the object
The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)
There are two cars:
Car (A) with mass ma=500 kg and speed va= 2 m/s
Car (B) with mass mb=20,000 gr and speed vb= 10 m/s
Calculate the kinetic energy of both cars:
To calculate the Kb, the mass must be expressed in kg:
mb=20,000/1,000 =20 Kg
Both kinetic energies are equal
Answer:
The oscillation frequency of the spring is 1.66 Hz.
Explanation:
Let m is the mass of the object that is suspended vertically from a support. The potential energy stored in the spring is given by :
k is the spring constant
x is the distance to the lowest point form the initial position.
When the object reaches the highest point, the stored potential energy stored in the spring gets converted to the potential energy.
Equating these two energies,
.............(1)
The expression for the oscillation frequency is given by :
(from equation (1))
f = 1.66 Hz
So, the oscillation frequency of the spring is 1.66 Hz. Hence, this is the required solution.
