A mass suspended from a spring is oscillating up and down, (as stated but not indicated).

A). At some point during the oscillation the mass has zero velocity but its acceleration is non-zero (can be either positive or negative).  <em>Yes. </em> This statement is true at the top and bottom ends of the motion.

B). At some point during the oscillation the mass has zero velocity and zero acceleration.  No.  If the mass is bouncing, this is never true.  It only happens if the mass is hanging motionless on the spring.

C). At some point during the oscillation the mass has non-zero velocity (can be either positive or negative) but has zero acceleration.  <em>Yes.</em>  This is true as the bouncing mass passes through the "zero point" ... the point where the upward force of the stretched spring is equal to the weight of the mass.  At that instant, the vertical forces on the mass are balanced, and the net vertical force is zero ... so there's no acceleration at that instant, because (as Newton informed us), A = F/m .  

D). At all points during the oscillation the mass has non-zero velocity and has nonzero acceleration (either can be positive or negative).  No.  This can only happen if the mass is hanging lifeless from the spring.  If it's bouncing, then It has zero velocity at the top and bottom extremes ... where acceleration is maximum ... and maximum velocity at the center of the swing ... where acceleration is zero.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

a) \Phi_{net} = 0\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C}, b) \Phi_{right} = -31.688\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C}, c) \Phi_{left} = 31.688\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C}

Explanation:

a) The net flux through the cube is:

\Phi_{net}=-(7.50\cdot 10^{3}\,\frac{N}{C} )\cdot (0.065\,m)^{2}+(7.50\cdot 10^{3}\,\frac{N}{C} )\cdot (0.065\,m)^{2}

\Phi_{net} = 0\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C}

b) The flux through the right face is:

\Phi_{right}=-(7.50\cdot 10^{3}\,\frac{N}{C} )\cdot (0.065\,m)^{2}

\Phi_{right} = -31.688\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C}

c) The flux through the left face is:

\Phi_{left}=(7.50\cdot 10^{3}\,\frac{N}{C} )\cdot (0.065\,m)^{2}

\Phi_{left} = 31.688\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C}

How can a gas become a good conductor? Simpler answers would be helpful.
Alex_Xolod [135]
A gas has to become ionisied in order to become a conductor. It must have a chain reaction in which atoms in it became unstable, in which they loose stabile electronic configuration. In order for a gas to become a conductor, it must have free particles, and it can happen only in ionisied gas.

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 49.0 cm . The explorer finds that
iren2701 [21]

Answer: g = 10.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

For a simple pendulum, provided that the angle between the lowest and highest point of  his trajectory be small, the oscillation period is given by the following expression:

T = 2π √L/g , where L = pendulum length, g= accelleration of gravity.

We can also define the period, as the time needed to complete a full swing, so from the measured  values, we can conclude the following :

T = 140 sec/ 101 cycles = 1.39 sec

Equating both definitions for T, we can solve for g, as follows:

g = 4 π² L / T² = 4π². 0.49 m / (1.39)² = 10.0 m/s/s
