Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy = mgh = (5)(9.81)(7) = 343.35J.
Answer:
The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through the equilibrium position is 0.06500 J.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass = 2.15 kg
Distance = 0.0895 m
Amplitude = 0.0235 m
We need to calculate the spring constant
Using newton's second law
Where, f = restoring force
Put the value into the formula
We need to calculate the kinetic energy of the mass
Using formula of kinetic energy
Here, 
Here, 
Put the value into the formula
Hence, The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through the equilibrium position is 0.06500 J.
Here is the rule for see-saws here on Earth, and there is no reason
to expect that it doesn't work exactly the same anywhere else:
(weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on one side</u>
is equal to
(weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on the other side</u>.
That's why, when Dad and Tiny Tommy get on the see-saw, Dad sits
closer to the pivot and Tiny Tommy sits farther away from it.
(Dad's weight) x (short length) = (Tiny Tommy's weight) x (longer length).
So now we come to the strange beings on the alien planet.
There are three choices right away that both work:
<u>#1).</u>
(400 N) in the middle-seat, facing (200 N) in the end-seat.
(400) x (1) = (200) x (2)
<u>#2).</u>
(200 N) in the middle-seat, facing (100 N) in the end-seat.
(200) x (1) = (100) x (2)
<u>#3).</u>
On one side: (300 N) in the end-seat (300) x (2) = <u>600</u>
On the other side:
(400 N) in the middle-seat (400) x (1) = 400
and (100 N) in the end-seat (100) x (2) = 200
Total . . . . . . . . . . . . <u>600</u>
These are the only ones to be identified at Harvard . . . . . . .
There may be many others but they haven't been discarvard.
Wind is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds of various speeds. On a rotating planet, air will also be deflected by the Coriolis effect, except exactly on the equator.
