The spring is initially stretched, and the mass released from rest (v=0). The next time the speed becomes zero again is when the spring is fully compressed, and the mass is on the opposite side of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position, after a time t=0.100 s. This corresponds to half oscillation of the system. Therefore, the period of a full oscillation of the system is
Which means that the frequency is
and the angular frequency is
In a spring-mass system, the maximum velocity of the object is given by
where A is the amplitude of the oscillation. In our problem, the amplitude of the motion corresponds to the initial displacement of the object (A=0.500 m), therefore the maximum velocity is
Answer:
Thermal energy of an isolated system changes with time If the mechanical energy of that system is constant according to the first law of thermodynamics, which states that thermal energy of an isolated system can still change as long as the total energy of that system does not change.

<em>b) 12.4 ft</em>
Explanation:
Distance between mirrors = 6.2 ft
difference from from the mirror you face = 1.8 ft
a) you stand 1.8 ft in front of the mirror you face.
According to plane mirror rules, the image formed is the same distance inside the mirror surface as the distance of the object (you) from the mirror surface. From this,
your distance from your first "front" image = 1.8 ft + 1.8 ft = <em>3.6 ft</em>
b) The mirror behind you is 6.2 - 1.8 = 4.4 ft behind you.
the back mirror will be reflected 3.6 + 4.4 = 8 ft into the front mirror,
the first image of your back will be 4.4 ft into the back mirror,
therefore your distance from your first "back" image = 8 + 4.4 = <em>12.4 ft</em>
Answer: The theory of Plate Tectonics is now widely accepted because there is sufficient proof to support it, and it is an important aspect of geology, oceanography, geophysics and even paleontology.
Explanation: In places where a plate faced resistance to its movement, it would fold upward and create mountains. Hope this helped! :)
