To determine the displacement, since we are given the potential energy, we use the equation for potential energy. For a spring, it is one-half the product of the spring constant and the square of the displacement. We do as follows:
PE = kx^2/2
5 Nm = 50N/m (x^2)
x = 0.32 m
Therefore, the displacement would be 0.32 m.
Answer
D.Diffraction
Explanation
Diffraction is a property that is experienced by waves when they come across a barrier when they are in motion.
The ways tends to curve behind the barrier. This is called diffraction of waves.
Now, sound is a wave and it also experience diffraction. . So the brother will be able to hear the sound due to diffraction
Time = (distance) / (speed)
Time = (150 x 10⁹ m) / (3 x 10⁸ m/s) =
50 x 10¹ sec =
<em>500 sec</em> = 8 min 20 sec
