Answer:
E. Zero Maximum
Explanation:
At the point of maximum displacement, the speed is zero while the restoring force is maximum. In fact:
- The restoring force is given by , where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement - at the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so F is maximum as well
- the total energy of the system is sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy:
where m is the mass of the system and v is the speed. Since E (the total energy) is constant due to the law of conservation of energy, we have that when K increases, U decreases, and viceversa. As a result, when x increases, v decreases, and viceversa. At the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so v will have its minimum value (which is zero, since the system is changing direction of motion).
Answer:
diameter = 21.81 ft
Explanation:
The gravitational force equation is:
Where:
- F => Gravitational force or force of attraction between two masses
- M => Mass of asteroid 1
- m => Mass of asteroid 2
- R => Distance between asteroids 1 and 2 (from center of gravity)
We also know that the asteroids are identical so their masses are identical:
- M=m
Since R is the distance between centers of the two asteroids and their diameters are identical (see attachment), we can conclude that:
- R=d=2r
We don´t know the mass of the asteroids but we know they are composed of pure iron, so we can relate their masses to their density:
- m=ρV
This is going to be helpful because the volume of a sphere is:
And know we can write our original force of gravity equation in terms of the radius of the asteroids:
Now let´s plug in the values we know:
mutual gravitational attraction force
gravitational constant
Solve for r and multiply by 2 because 2r = diameter
Result is d = 21.81 Feet
The specific heat capacity of the substance is
Explanation:
When an object of mass m is supplied with a certain amount of energy Q, its temperature increases according to the equation:
where
m is the mass of the object
is its specific heat capacity
is the increase in temperature of the object
In this problem, we have
m = 50 g
Therefore, we can solve for to find its specific heat capacity:
