The correct answer is "velocity, height". Kinetic energy is affected by: mass and velocity, while potential energy by: mass, gravity and height (or "position"). Considering these combinations, only the third choice is the correct one: a) position, gravity describe only potential energy, B) gravity, position describe only potential energy, C) velocity, height describe respectively kinetic and potential energy, D) height, velocity would respectively describe potential energy first and then kinetic energy, it is in the wrong order, thus the correct answer is C.

A vertical spring has a mass hanging from it, which is displaced from the equilibrium position and begins to oscillate. At what

Orlov [11]

Answer:

the object has least potential energy at mean position of the SHM

Explanation:

If a block is connected with a spring and there is no resistive force on the system

In this case the total energy of the system is always conserved and it will change from one form to another form

So here we will say that

Kinetic energy + Potential energy = Total Mechanical energy

As we can say that total energy is conserved so here we have least potential energy when the system has maximum kinetic energy

So here we also know that at mean position of the SHM the system has maximum speed and hence maximum kinetic energy.

So the object has least potential energy at mean position of the SHM

The box leaves position x=0 with speed v0. The box is slowed by a constant frictional force until it comes to rest at position x

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

$Ff=m\times \dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}$

Explanation:

Given that

At X=0 V=Vo

At X=X1 V=0

As we know that friction force is always try to oppose the motion of an object. It means that it provide acceleration in the negative direction.

We know that

$V^2=U^2-2aS$

$0=V_o^2-2a X_1$

$a=\dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}$

So the friction force on the box

Ff= m x a

$Ff=m\times \dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}$

Where m is the mass of the box.

A 2kg Book is sitting on a table.a 10n Force is pulling to the right.a 3n Force is pulling to the left what is the net force act

salantis [7]

The net force = sum of all forces acting on the body

If we take left side as -ve and right side as +ve,
then,

The net force here would be equal to,
10N + (- 3N)
= 7N.

Therefore, a net force of +7N ( + indicates it's moving towards right) is acting on the book of mass 2kg.

What's the difference between meteoroids, meteorites, and meteors?

SVEN [57.7K]

You're talking about a grain of sand or a stone or a rock that's drifting in space, and then the Earth happens to get in the way, so the stone falls down to Earth, and it makes a bright streak of light while it's falling through the atmosphere and burning up from the friction.

-- While it's drifting in space, it's a meteoroid.

-- While it's falling through the atmosphere burning up and making a bright streak of light, it's a meteor.

-- If it doesn't completely burn up and there's some of it left to fall on the ground, then the leftover piece on the ground is a meteorite.
