Answer:

The maximum acceleration of the system is 359.970 centimeters per square second.

Explanation:

The motion of the mass-spring system is represented by the following formula:

x(t) = A\cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t + \phi)

Where:

x(t) - Position of the mass with respect to the equilibrium position, measured in centimeters.

A - Amplitude of the mass-spring system, measured in centimeters.

\omega - Angular frequency, measured in radians per second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

\phi - Phase, measured in radians.

The acceleration experimented by the mass is obtained by deriving the position equation twice:

a (t) = -\omega^{2}\cdot A \cdot \cos (\omega\cdot t + \phi)

Where the maximum acceleration of the system is represented by \omega^{2}\cdot A.

The natural frequency of the mass-spring system is:

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

Where:

k - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

m - Mass, measured in kilograms.

If k = 12\,\frac{N}{m} and m = 0.40\,kg, the natural frequency is:

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{12\,\frac{N}{m} }{0.40\,kg} }

\omega \approx 5.477\,\frac{rad}{s}

Lastly, the maximum acceleration of the system is:

a_{max} = \left(5.477\,\frac{rad}{s})^{2}\cdot (12\,cm)

a_{max} = 359.970\,\frac{cm}{s^{2}}

The maximum acceleration of the system is 359.970 centimeters per square second.

A 1.4-kg block slides freely across a rough surface such that the block slows down with an acceleration of â1.25 m/s2. what is t
Marianna [84]

Mass of the block = 1.4 kg

Weight of the block = mg = 1.4 × 9.8 = 13.72 N

Normal force from the surface (N) = 13.72 N

Acceleration = 1.25 m/s^2

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be μ

Friction force = μN

F(net) = ma

μmg = ma

μg = a

μ = \frac{a}{g}

μ = \frac{1.25}{9.8}

μ = 0.1275

Hence, the coefficient of kinetic friction is: μ = 0.1275

Andrew skis down a hill.
IceJOKER [234]

Explanation:

gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill, which transforms into kinetic energy as he moves bottom of the hill

that's mean potential energy transfoms into kinetic energy
