The most important line of latitude is the equator, which runs horizontally around the fattest part of the earth. The most important longitude line is the Prime Meridian which runs vertically and goes through Greenwich, England

A 1.00 kg object is attached to a horizontal spring. the spring is initially stretched by 0.500 m, and the object is released fr

valina [46]

The spring is initially stretched, and the mass released from rest (v=0). The next time the speed becomes zero again is when the spring is fully compressed, and the mass is on the opposite side of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position, after a time t=0.100 s. This corresponds to half oscillation of the system. Therefore, the period of a full oscillation of the system is
$T=2 t = 2 \cdot 0.100 s = 0.200 s$
Which means that the frequency is
$f= \frac{1}{T}= \frac{1}{0.200 s}=5 Hz$
and the angular frequency is
$\omega=2 \pi f = 2 \pi (5 Hz)=31.4 rad/s$

In a spring-mass system, the maximum velocity of the object is given by
$v_{max} = A \omega$
where A is the amplitude of the oscillation. In our problem, the amplitude of the motion corresponds to the initial displacement of the object (A=0.500 m), therefore the maximum velocity is
$v_{max} = A \omega = (0.500 m)(31.4 rad/s)= 15.7 m/s$

| A 1.0 kg stone is dropped from a bridge 100 m above a canyon. What will be the kinetic energy of the stone after it

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Option D

490 J

Explanation:

When at a height of 100 am above and released, the ball initially posses only potential energy. When it falls, some potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Initial potential energy= mgh where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is height. Substituting 1 Kg for m, 9.81 for g and 100 m for h then

PE initial = 1*9.81*100= 981 J

At 50 m, PE will be 1*9.81*50=490.5 J

Subtracting PE at 50 m from initial PE we get the energy that has been converted to kinetic energy hence

981-490.5= 490.5 J

Approximately, 490 J

It takes Mars about ____ Earth years to orbit the Sun.

OlgaM077 [116]

<span>At this distance, and with an orbital speed of 24.077 km/s, Mars takes 686.971 Earth days, the equivalent of 1.88 Earth years, to complete a orbit around the Sun. This eccentricity is one of the most pronounced in the Solar System, with only Mercury having a greater one (0.205).
