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

point does the system have the least potential energy?

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

: In heavy rushIn heavy rush-hour traffic you drive in a straight line at 12 m/s for 1.5 minutes, then you have to stop for 3.5
zhuklara [117]
Guessing you want the average speed. We can multiple each speed by the time we spent going that speed, and them all together and then divide by the total time we spent in traffic to get the average speed. We spent a total of 7.5 minutes in traffic, so average speed  = (12*1.5+0*3.5+15*2.5)/7.5 = 7.4 m/s

How do kinetic and potential energy transfer to one throughout a roller coaster ride?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

As the cars ascend the next hill, some kinetic energy is transformed back into potential energy. Then, when the cars descend this hill, potential energy is again changed to kinetic energy. This conversion between potential and kinetic energy continues throughout the ride.

Two cars, both of mass m, collide and stick together. Prior to the collision, one car had been traveling north at a speed 2v, wh
mel-nik [20]

Answer:u=\frac{v}{2}\sqrt{5-4sin\phi }

Explanation:

Given

Both cars mass is m

and solving problem in Vertical and horizontal direction

considering + y and +x to be positive and u be the final velocity of system

Conserving Momentum in Vertical direction

m(2v)+m(-vsin\phi )=2m(ucos\theta )

2ucos\theta =v(2-sin\theta )------1

Conserving momentum in x direction

mvcos\phi =2musin\theta-----2

squaring and adding 1 &2

(2u)^2=(2v-vsin\phi )^2+(vcos\phi )^2

4u^2=4v^2+v^2-4v^2sin\phi

4u^2=5v^2-4v^2sin\phi

u=\frac{v}{2}\sqrt{5-4sin\phi }

What is the frequency of an electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength of 300,000 km? (the speed of light is 300,000 km/s.)?
expeople1 [14]
Frequency represents the number of complete oscillations in one second. it is measured in Hertz (Hz). Electromagnetic waves are waves which do not require a material media for transmission. They travel with a speed of light.
The speed (m/s) of a wave is given by  frequency (Hz) × Wavelength (m)
Speed is 300,000 km/sec or 300,000,000 m/s and the wavelength is 300,000  km or 300,000,000 m.
Frequency = speed÷ wavelength
                 = 300000000 ÷ 300000000 = 1
Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 1Hz

A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an _______
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an electron.

Explanation:

In an atom, nuclei contain protons and neutrons, which are the fundamental particles of an atom. Neutrons are stable and uncharged particles inside a nucleus.

For 15 times during its lifetime, a free neutron decays and breaks down into more smaller particles.This breakdown causes problems in nuclear reactors, as they start decaying and emit radiations of different wavelengths.

A neutron undergoes the decaying process to produce an electron, a proton, and energy.

The reaction of neutron decay:

  n0 → p+ + e− + νe
