You know that when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (A), the velocity is zero, which implies that the kinetic energy (KE) is zeero, so the total mechanical energy (ME) is the potential energy (PE).

And you know that the potential energy, PE, is [ 1/2 ] k (x^2)

Then, use x = A, to calculate the PE in the point where ME = PE.

ME = PE = [1/2] k (A)^2.

At half of the amplitude, x = A/2 => PE = [ 1/2] k (A/2)^2

=> PE = [1/4] { [1/2]k(A)^2 } = .[1/4] ME

So, if PE is 1/4 of ME, KE is 3/4 of ME.

And the answer is 3/4

How do you find circular motion?​
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

By multiplying the rotational frequency with the circumference we can determine the average speed of the object. The circular velocity formula is expressed as, vc = 2 πr / T. Where in, r denotes the radius of the circular orbit. T is time period.

If a solar photovoltaic panel produces 1,000 watts of electrical energy and is active for 12 hours each day, how many kwh of ele
Masteriza [31]

Answer;

=84 kwh

Explanation;

Electrical energy = 1000 watts

1000 watt = 1 kilo watt

1 week = 7 days

Number of hours = 7 × 12× = 84 hours

Consumption

= 1 kw × 84 hours

= 84 kwh

Define parallax as it relates to stars and explain how it can be used to determine stellar distances.
FrozenT [24]
Astronomers can measure a star's position once, and then again 6 months later and calculate the apparent change in position. The star's apparent motion is called stellar parallax. The distance d is measured in parsecs and the parallax angle p is measured in arcseconds.

I hope this helps!

Two balls of unequal mass are hung from two springs that are not identical. The springs stretch the same distance as the two sys
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

b) Springs oscillate with the same frequency,

Explanation:

expression for frequency of vibration of mass hanging from a spring is given as follows

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \times \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

k is force constant of spring and m is mass vibrating .

In the present case, if mass stretches the spring by x and remains balanced

mg = k x

\frac{k}{m} =\frac{g}{x}

g and x are same  for both cases

\frac{k}{m} will also be same for both cases .

Hence frequency of vibration will also be same for both the balls .
