true or false:acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called gravitational acceleration.

Nope. It's called 'centripetal' acceleration. The force that created it MAY be gravitational, but it doesn't have to be. For things on the surface of the Earth moving in circles, it's never gravity.

A mass m is tied to an ideal spring with force constant k and rests on a frictionless surface. The mass moves along the x axis.

7nadin3 [17]

Answer: $x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}$

Explanation:

Given

initially mass is stretched to $x_m$

Let k be the spring Constant of spring

Therefore Total Mechanical Energy is $\frac{kx_m^2}{2}$

Position at which kinetic Energy is equal to Elastic Potential Energy

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

$U=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

it is given

$k=U$

thus $2U=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}$

$2\times \frac{kx^2}{2}=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}$

$2x^2=x_m^2$

$x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}$
