I think the correct answer would be B. The process of elastic rebound is being shown by the student. It is a theory that is used to explain earthquakes. It focuses on how energy is being spread in times of earthquakes. As the rocks on the fault experiences shift and force, these rocks would be accumulating energy causing it to deform reaching the internal strength and eventually exceeding it. At that moment, a rapid motion would happen along the fault, which releases the energy, then the rocks would go back to its original shape or the undeformed state. This theory is the first theory that sufficiently was able to explain earthquakes.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

b) a = -k / m x , c) d²x / dt² = - A w² cos (wt+Ф) , d) and e)  T = 2π √m / k

h)   a = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)

Explanation:

a) see free body diagram in the attachment

b) We write Newton's second law

          Fe = m a

          -k x = ma

           a = -k / m x

c) the acceleration is

         a = d²x / dt²

     

      If x = A cos wt

        v = dx / dt = -A w sin (wt +Ф)

        a = d²x / dt² = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)

d) we substitute in Newton's second law

        d²x / dt² = -k / m x

   

We call

       w² = k / m

e) substitute to find w

     -A w² cos (wt+Ф) = -k / m A cos (wt+Ф)

      w² = k / m

Angular velocity and frequency are related

       w = 2π f

       f = 1 / T

       

 We substitute

      T = 2π / w

      T = 2π √m / k

g)    v= - A w sin (wt+Ф)

h) acceleration is

       a = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)

When the cart moves on an incline at constant speed, it is in equilibrium; i.e., the net force on it is zero. Does it require mo
Amanda [17]

Answer:

It requires more tension to pull up the track

Explanation:

Net force must be zero to maintain constant velocity.

Weight force will always be pointed down the slope. Call it W

Friction force (Call it Ff) will be down slope when movement is up slope.

Friction force will be up slope when movement is down slope.

W and Ff are always positive numbers

Call the pulling force T

If Up slope is considered the positive direction

Moving up slope

Tu - Ff - W = 0

Tu = Ff + W

Moving down slope

Td + W - Ff = 0

Td = Ff - W

Ff + W > Ff - W therefore Tu > Td

A 66-kg base runner begins his slide into second base when he is moving at a speed of 3.4 m/s. The coefficient of friction betwe
Helen [10]

Answer:

a ) = 381.48 J

b )=  84.25 cm

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the runner

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 66 x 3.4²

= 381.48 J

The final kinetic energy of the runner is zero .

Loss of mechanical energy

= 381.48 J

This  loss in  mechanical energy is due to action of frictional force .

b )

Let s be the distance of slide

deceleration due to frictional force

= μmg/m

.7 x 66 x 9.8 / 66

a = - 6.86 m s⁻¹

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = 3.4² - 2x6.86 s

s = 3.4² / 2x6.86

= .8425 m

84.25 cm
