Independent variable
The independent variable is the variable that is controlled and manipulated by the experimenter. For example, in an experiment on the impact of sleep deprivation on test performance, sleep deprivation would be the independent variable.

A horizontal object-spring system oscillates with an amplitude of 2.8 cm. If the spring constant is 275 N/m and object has a mas

Lisa [10]

Answer:

(a) the mechanical energy of the system, U = 0.1078 J

(b) the maximum speed of the object, Vmax = 0.657 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

Amplitude of the spring, A = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m

Spring constant, K = 275 N/m

Mass of object, m = 0.5 kg

(a) the mechanical energy of the system

This is the potential energy of the system, U = ¹/₂KA²

U = ¹/₂ (275)(0.028)²

U = 0.1078 J

(b) the maximum speed of the object

$V_{max} =\omega*A= \sqrt{\frac{K}{M} } *A\\\\V_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{275}{0.5} } *0.028\\\\V_{max} = 0.657 \ m/s$

$a_{max} = \frac{KA}{M} \\\\a_{max} = \frac{275*0.028}{0.5}\\\\a_{max} = 15.4 \ m/s^2$

You are pushing a box up a ramp with 70 N of force. If the ramp is made steeper and shorter, what needs to happen to the box for

Elenna [48]

Answer:

A larger force than 70 N will be required for the box to continue moving

Explanation:

A ramp is an inclined plane surface that is tilted to form a slope on its opposite sides

A ramp provides mechanical advantage or force amplification, by allowing less force to lift heavier load from having to move through a longer distance to reach a particular elevation when the slope of the ramp is gentle

Therefore, when the slope is steeper, and shorter, more force than 70 N will be required for the box to continue moving.
