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

A charged particle of mass m = 5.00g and charge q = -70.0μC moves horizontally to the right at a constant velocity of v = 30.0 k
pychu [463]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force, B = 5 Tesla, Up (North) direction

Explanation:

Magnetic force F= Eq where Electric field, E = 750 NC

and charge, q = -70 μC = -7 ×10^{-5}C

F = 750 ×  -7 ×10^{-5}

F = 0.0525

But F = qvB; B = \frac{F}{qv}

where B is the magnetic field

= 0.0525 ÷ ( -7 ×10^{-5} × 30)

B = 5.0 Teslas

The force on a negative charge is in exactly the opposite direction to that on a positive charge.

Hence the direction of the charge is up (North).

In practice, if a voltmeter was connected across any combination of the terminals, the potential difference would be less than w
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

This difference is kept to a minimum because the resistance in transformers is a few tens of ohms and the resistance of modern voltmeters is of the order of MΩ.

Explanation:

A voltmeter is built by a galvanometer and a resistance in series, this set is connected in parallel to the resistance where the voltage is to be measured, therefore the voltage is divided between the voltmeter and the element to be measured, consequently the measured voltage It is less than the calculated one, since for them the resistance of the voltmeter is assumed infinite.

This difference is kept to a minimum because the resistance in transformers is a few tens of ohms and the resistance of modern voltmeters is of the order of MΩ.

If a girl is standing still and holding a box, is she doing any work? Why or why not?
sukhopar [10]
I beleive she isnt doing any work due to holding the box motionless, you must be exerting a force in the direction of the box motion. If she is just standing there holding the box their isn't no work becuase no distance has been covered. work = force = distance.
