energy never disappears, for example, if you give some kinetic energy to a ball and it stops few seconds later, friction steals this energy to ground which ball was going on. "Law of Conservation of Energy" tell us that energy can't disappear
Answer:
The blade of sharpener is made up of iron. Iron is a magnetic material because of this pencil sharpener gets attracted by the poles of a magnet although the body is made up of plastic.
<h2>Answer: electrostatic and gravitational force
</h2><h2 />
Mechanical energy remains constant (conserved) if only <u>conservative forces</u> act on the particles.
In this sense, the following forces are conservative:
-Gravitational
-Elastic
-Electrostatics
While the Friction Force and the Magnetic Force are not conservative.
According to this, mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of electrostatic and gravitational forces.
Answer:
The equation of motion is 

Explanation:
Lets calculate
The weight attached to the spring is 24 pounds
Acceleration due to gravity is 
Assume x , is spring stretched length is ,4 inches
Converting the length inches into feet 
The weight (W=mg) is balanced by restoring force ks at equilibrium position
mg=kx
⇒ 
The spring constant , 
= 72
If the mass is displaced from its equilibrium position by an amount x, then the differential equation is



Auxiliary equation is, 

=
Thus , the solution is 

The mass is released from the rest x'(0) = 0
=0


Therefore ,

Since , the mass is released from the rest from 4 inches
inches
feet
feet
Therefore , the equation of motion is
