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

A fully loaded cart with a mass of 2200 kg starts from the top of a 12-meter hill on a roller coaster.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

A. potential energy is 258720 Joule

Explanation:

A.Gravitational potential energy is: PE = m × g × h

velocity =  15.33 m/s when the car reaches the bottom of the hill.

where, m = mass

            g = acceleration due to gravity

            h = height from the bottom of hill.

The potential energy is : m×g×h

                                     =(2200×9.8×12)

                                     =258720 Joule

B. at the bottom of the hill, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so PE at top = KE at bottom

                    kinetic energy= \frac{1}{2}(m*v^{2})

where v = velocity

          m= mass

therefore,               v=\sqrt\frac{2*K.E}{m} {}

                         or,  v=\sqrt{\frac{2*258720}{2200} }

                         or,   v=15.33 m/s

. A 2.0-kg block is on a perfectly smooth ramp that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. (a) What is the block’s accelerat
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

a) a = 4.9 m / s²,  N = 16.97 N   and b)   F = 9.8 N

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we will use Newton's second law, we write a reference system with the x axis parallel to the plane, see attached, in this system the only force we have to break down is weight, let's use trigonometry

        sin 30 = Wx / W

        cos 30 = Wy / W

        Wx = W sin30

        Wy = W cos 30

Let's write the equations on each axis

X axis

        Wx = ma

Y Axis  

       N- Wy = 0

       N = Wy = mg cos 30

       N = 2.0 9.8 cos 30

       N = 16.97 N

We calculate the acceleration

       a = Wx / m

       a = mg sin 30 / m

       a = g sin 30

       a =9.8 sin 30

       a = 4.9 m / s²

b) For the block to move with constant speed, the acceleration must be zero, so the force applied must be equal to the weight component

      F -Wx = 0

      F = Wx

      F = m g sin 30

      F = 2.0 9.8 sin 30

      F = 9.8 N

Claudia throws a baseball to her dog. Which free-body diagram shows the
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

only the weight of the ball will act on the ball

Explanation: There is no contact force on the ball. Also there is no air resistance on the ball so the friction force on the ball due to air is not shown

3. What is the difference between Synthetic Oil, Semi-Syntheic oil (Blend), High milage motor oil, and conventional motor oil? ​
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

When evaluating synthetic blends, it's helpful to define the terms “synthetic blend” and “semi-synthetic”. Generally speaking, synthetic blends and semi-synthetic refer to the same thing: an oil that uses a combination of conventional and synthetic base oils in its formulation.

S.I. Units Ampere is use for what? ​
lawyer [7]

The ampere (symbol: A) is the SI base unit of electric current equal to one coulomb per second.

The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross section, and placed 1 meter apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 times 10–7 newton per meter of length.

Electric current is the time rate of change or displacement of electric charge.

One ampere represents the rate of 1 coulomb of charge per second.

The ampere is defined first (it is a base unit, along with the meter, the second, and the kilogram), without reference to the quantity of charge.

The unit of charge, the coulomb, is defined to be the amount of charge displaced by a one ampere current in the time of one second.

This is your answer friend. Hope it helps you.
