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 family took a trip in a car traveling East from Greensboro to Wilmington, NC. Use the Graph to answer the questions below.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1). Average speed = 1.5 m per second

2). Average velocity = 1.5 m per second

Explanation:

1). Since, speed is a scalar quantity

   Therefore, average speed of the trip = \frac{\text{Total distance covered}}{\text{Total time taken}}

    From the graph attached,

   Total distance covered = 10 + 10 + 20 + 0 + 20 + 30

                                           = 90 meters

   Total time taken = 60 seconds

    Average speed = \frac{90}{60}

                               = 1.5 meter per second

2). Velocity is a vector quantity.

    Therefore, average velocity = \frac{\triangle d}{\triangle t}

                                                   = \frac{d_{60}-d_0}{60-0}

                                                   = \frac{90-0}{60-0}

                                                   = 1.5 meter per second

Describe what it means if a chemical or physical property is periodic
vesna_86 [32]
It means that you consider the elements as a list organized by atomic number, the property is seen to repeat over and over as you move through that list.

Janice has just measured the density of an object. Which value is possible? (Density: D = )
babunello [35]
It is 6 g/cm3 because density cannot be negative, and it is not speed in which the unit would be m/s.

As an aid in working this problem, consult Interactive Solution 3.41. A soccer player kicks the ball toward a goal that is 20.0
alekssr [168]

Answer:

V=14.9 m/s

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we are going to use the formulas of parabolic motion.

The velocity X-component of the ball is given by:

Vx=V*cos(\alpha)\\Vx=15.7*cos(31^o)=13.5m/s

The motion on the X axis is a constant velocity motion so:

t=\frac{d}{Vx}\\t=\frac{20.0}{13.5}=1.48s

The whole trajectory of the ball takes 1.48 seconds

We know that:

Vy=Voy+(a)*t\\Vy=15.7*sin(31^o)+(-9.8)*(1.48)=-6.42m/s

Knowing the X and Y components of the velocity, we can calculate its magnitude by:

V=\sqrt{Vx^2+Vy^2} \\V=\sqrt{(13.5)^2+(-6.42)^2}=14.9m/s
