Answer:
a)At the mean position
b)At the extremes positions
Explanation:
Given that mass is having oscillation motion.
We know that
1. At the mean position -The velocity of the mass is maximum and the acceleration of the mass is minimum.The net force on the mass will be zero.
2. At the extreme position-The velocity of the mass is minimum and the acceleration of the mass is maximum.The net force on the mass will not be zero.
Therefore
a)At the mean position
b)At the extremes positions
Answer:
Gravitational Potential Energy
Explanation:
As an object falls from rest, its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Conservation of energy as a tool permits the calculation of the velocity just before it hits the surface.
Potential energy at top:
PE = mgh
PE = 40 x 9.81 x 12
P.E = 4,708.8 J
Kinetic energy at bottom:
KE = 1/2 mv²
KE = 1/2 x 40 x 10²
K.E = 2,000 J
P.E = K.E + Frictional losses
Frictional losses = 4708 - 2000
Frictional losses = 2708 J
The answer is D.
