Answer:

3.At equilibrium, its instantaneous velocity is at maximum

Explanation:

The motion of a mass on the end of a spring is a simple harmonic motion. In a simple harmonic motion, the total mechanical energy of the system is constant, and it is sum of the elastic potential energy (U) and the kinetic energy of the mass (K):

E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = const.

where

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement of the spring from equilibrium

m is the mass

v is the speed

As we see from the formula, since the total energy E is constant, when the displacement (x) increases, the speed (v) increases, and viceversa. Therefore, when the mass is at its equilibrium position (which corresponds to x=0), the velocity of the mass will be maximum.

Ivan drove to the mountains last weekend. There was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 7 hours. When Ivan drove h
lesya692 [45]

Answer:252 miles

Explanation:

Given

During his way to mountain it took 7 hr to drive

and during his return trip it took 4 hr to return

Let x be the distance between home and mountain

average speed for return is  27 miles per hour faster than his former trip

let v be the speed on his way to mountain thus v+27 is his return speed

thus 7=\frac{x}{v}----1

for return trip

4=\frac{x}{v+27}-----2

divide  1 & 2

\frac{7}{4}=\frac{x\cdot (v+27)}{v\cdot x}

7v=4v+4\cdot 27

3v=4\cdot 27

v=36 mph

thus x=7\times 36=252\ miles

Earth's gravitational pull just got threetimes stronger! what happens to your weight/
OLga [1]
Hold on and let's discuss this realistically.

Because of gravity, there are two forces between the Earth and me. One draws me toward the Earth. The strength of that force is what I call my "weight". The other force draws the Earth toward me, and has the same strength.

The strength of these forces depends on the masses of the Earth and me. If the strength just tripled, that means that at least one of us just picked up a lot more mass. If the Earth suddenly became three times as massive, then the weight of everything and everybody on it would suddenly triple, and I'm pretty sure it would be the end of all of us before too long.

If it was only MY mass that suddenly tripled, that would mean that I had gone tearing through my house and the neighbour's house, eating everything in sight including the 2 couches, 3 dogs, and 6 TVs. Naturally, just as you would expect, my weight changed from 207 to 621, and my skin is stretched really tight.
