Answer:
Without this slack, a locomotive might simply sit still and spin its wheels. The loose coupling enables a longer time for the entire train to gain momentum, requiring less force of the locomotive wheels against the track. In this way, the overall required impulse is broken into a series of smaller impulses. (This loose coupling can be very important for braking as well).

The question is about unclear since no picture provided. But from the question, it could be guessed that the box is moving back and forth on the frictionless plane at the amplitude of A in simple harmonic motion.
Answer:
D. At x=0, it's acceleration is at a maximum
Explanation:
As the box move forward, it reaches point A and than move backward. Theoretically, the box will move backwards, through its origin, to point -A and then going forward.
Point A is the maximum displacement of the box in this case. At this point, the box instantaneously stop to go backward. Therefore the velocity at that moment is zero.
From point -A, the box travel forward and keep building up speed due to the release in potential energy of the spring. And at point x=0, the velocity become maximum. After point x=0, the velocity of the box slows down due to the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy of the spring. And as it reaches point A, it reaches zero velocity.
The same can be said as the box travels backward from point A to -A
Answer:
At Saturn's center is a dense core of metals like iron and nickel surrounded by rocky material and other compounds solidified by the intense pressure and heat. It is enveloped by liquid metallic hydrogen inside a layer of liquid hydrogen—similar to Jupiter's core but considerably smaller
Explanation:
Answer:
a) 2.87 m/s
b) 3.23 m/s
Explanation:
The avergare velocity can be found dividing the length traveled d by the total time t.
a)
For the first part we easily know the total traveled length which is:
d = 50.2 m + 50.2 m = 100.4 m
The time can be found dividing the distance by the velocity:
t1 = 50.2 m / 2.21 m/s = 22.7149 s
t2 = 50.2 m / 4.11 m/s = 12.2141 s
t = t1 +t2 = 34.9290 s
Therefore, the average velocity is:
v = d/t =2.87 m/s
b)
Here we can easily know the total time:
t = 1 min + 1.16 min = 129.6 s
Now the distance wil be found multiplying each velocity by the time it has travelled:
d1 = 2.21 m/s * 60 s = 132.6 m
d2 = 4.11 m/s *(1.16 * 60 s) = 286.056 m
d = 418.656 m
Therefore, the average velocity is:
v = d/t =3.23 m/s
