A 0.3-kg object connected to a light spring with a force constant of 19.3 N/m oscillates on a frictionless horizontal surface. A
Ghella [55]

The total work <em>W</em> done by the spring on the object as it pushes the object from 6 cm from equilibrium to 1.9 cm from equilibrium is

<em>W</em> = 1/2 (19.3 N/m) ((0.060 m)² - (0.019 m)²) ≈ 0.031 J

That is,

• the spring would perform 1/2 (19.3 N/m) (0.060 m)² ≈ 0.035 J by pushing the object from the 6 cm position to the equilibrium point

• the spring would perform 1/2 (19.3 N/m) (0.019 m)² ≈ 0.0035 J by pushing the object from the 1.9 cm position to equilbrium

so the work done in pushing the object from the 6 cm position to the 1.9 cm position is the difference between these.

By the work-energy theorem,

<em>W</em> = ∆<em>K</em> = <em>K</em>

where <em>K</em> is the kinetic energy of the object at the 1.9 cm position. Initial kinetic energy is zero because the object starts at rest. So

<em>W</em> = 1/2 <em>mv</em> ²

where <em>m</em> is the mass of the object and <em>v</em> is the speed you want to find. Solving for <em>v</em>, you get

<em>v</em> = √(2<em>W</em>/<em>m</em>) ≈ 0.46 m/s

As the distance between the sun and earth decreases, the speed of the planet
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

Increases. The force of gravity is distance dependent. Therefore, a smaller 'r' value will result in a larger force. Net force is proportional to the acceleration, so the planet will increase its speed.
