A mass m is tied to an ideal spring with force constant k and rests on a frictionless surface. The mass moves along the x axis.

Assume that x=0 corresponds to the relaxed position of the spring. The mass is pulled out to a position xm and released. Derive an expression for the positions at which the kinetic energy of the mass is equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring.

Answer:x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}

Explanation:

Given

initially mass is stretched to x_m

Let k be the spring Constant of spring

Therefore Total Mechanical Energy is \frac{kx_m^2}{2}

Position at which kinetic Energy is equal to Elastic Potential Energy

K=\frac{mv^2}{2}

U=\frac{kx^2}{2}

it is given

k=U

thus 2U=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}

2\times \frac{kx^2}{2}=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}

2x^2=x_m^2

x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}

The gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/s2 here on Earth at sea level. What is the gravitational acceleration at a height of 35
azamat

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the definition of severity of Newtonian laws in which it is specified that gravity is defined by

g= \frac{GM}{R^2}

Where

G= Gravitational Constant

M = Mass of Earth

R= Radius from center of the planet

According to the information we need to find the gravity 350km more than the radius of Earth, then

g_{ss} = \frac{GM}{R+h^2}

g_{ss} = \frac{6.67*10^{-11}*5.972*10^{24}}{(6371*10^3+350*10^3)^2}

g_{ss} = 8.82m/s^2

Therefore the gravitational acceleration at 350km is 8.82m/s^2
