Potential energy is energy stored in an object. kinetic energy is energy of motion
If you illustrate the problem, you will somewhat come up with the figure shown. The missing value is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Using the pythagorean theorems, the value is determined to be
x = √(0.7^2 + 2.4^2)
x = 2.5 km
2.5 km is the magnitude of the distance. If you want to incorporate the displacement, the answer is reported as
2.5 km, southeast. The direction is determined from the starting point to the endpoint.
Answer:
b) a = -k / m x
, c) d²x / dt² = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)
, d) and e) T = 2π √m / k
h) a = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)
Explanation:
a) see free body diagram in the attachment
b) We write Newton's second law
Fe = m a
-k x = ma
a = -k / m x
c) the acceleration is
a = d²x / dt²
If x = A cos wt
v = dx / dt = -A w sin (wt
+Ф)
a = d²x / dt² = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)
d) we substitute in Newton's second law
d²x / dt² = -k / m x
We call
w² = k / m
e) substitute to find w
-A w² cos (wt+Ф) = -k / m A cos (wt+Ф)
w² = k / m
Angular velocity and frequency are related
w = 2π f
f = 1 / T
We substitute
T = 2π / w
T = 2π √m / k
g) v= - A w sin (wt+Ф)
h) acceleration is
a = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)
You may look at what group they are in
Group
1A=Group 1
2A = Group 2
3A = Group 13
4A= Group 14
5A=Group 15
6A=Group 16
7A=Group 17
The #A tells you how many valence electrons there are by the # before A. Such as Chlorine, which is in 7A, so therefore has 7 valence electrons.
