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 Explain why the sound produced by the horn of an approaching car
aleksklad [387]
When a car approaches you, the sound waves that reach you have a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency. You hear a sound with a higher pitch. When the car moves away from you, the sound waves that reach you have a longer wavelength and lower frequency.

?? ⬇️

An approaching source moves closer during period of the sound wave so the effective wavelength is shortened, giving a higher pitch since the velocity of the wave is unchanged. Similarly the pitch of a receding sound source will be lowered.

The Doppler effect is an effect observed in light and sound waves as they move toward or away from an observer. One simple example of the Doppler effect is the sound of an automobile horn. Picture a person standing on a street corner. A car approaches, blowing its horn.

Comparing two waves of the same wavelength, a higher frequency is associated with faster movement. Comparing two waves of different wavelengths, a higher frequency doesn't always indicate faster movement, although it can. Waves of different wavelengths can have the same frequency.

The pitch of a sound is our ear's response to the frequency of sound. Whereas loudness depends on the energy of the wave. ... The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency while loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of sound waves.

A solid, horizontal cylinder of mass 18.0 kg and radius 1.70.0 m rotates with an angular speed of 40 rad/s about a fixed vertica
Radda [10]

Answer:39.88 rad/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of cylinder m_1=18 kg

radius R=1.7 m

angular speed \omega =40rad/s

mass of m_2=0.8 kg dropped at r=0.3 m from center

let \omega _2 be the final angular velocity of cylinder

Conserving Angular momentum

L_1=L_2

\left ( \frac{m_1R^2}{2}\right )\omega =\left ( \frac{m_1R^2}{2}+m_2r^2\right )\omega _2

\left ( \frac{18\cdot 1.7^2}{2}\right )\cdot 40=\left ( \frac{18\cdot 1.7^2}{2}+0.8\cdot 0.3^2\right )\omega _2

26.01\times 40=26.082\times \omega _2

\omega _2=39.88 rad/s
