A 50.0-g object connected to a spring with a force constant of 35.0 n/m oscillates with an amplitude of 4.00 cm on a frictionles

Dimas [21]

A) The total energy of the system is sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy:
$E=K+U= \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}kx^2$
where
m is the mass
v is the speed
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation/compression of the spring

The total energy is conserved, so we can calculate its value at any point of the motion. If we take the point of maximum displacement:
$x=A=4.00 cm = 0.04 m$
then the velocity of the system is zero, so the total energy is just potential energy, and it is equal to
$E=U= \frac{1}{2}kA^2 = \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.04 m)^2=0.028 J$

b) When the position of the object is
$x=1.00 cm = 0.01 m$
the potential energy of the system is
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.01 m)^2 = 1.75 \cdot 10^{-3} J$
and so the kinetic energy is
$K=E-U=0.028 J - 1.75 \cdot 10^{-3}J =0.026 J$
since the mass is $m=50.0 g=0.05 kg$ , and the kinetic energy is given by
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
we can re-arrange the formula to find the speed of the object:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 0.026 J}{0.05 kg} }=1.02 m/s$

c) The potential energy when the object is at
$x=3.00 cm=0.03 m$
is
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.03 m)^2 =0.016 J$
Therefore the kinetic energy is
$K=E-U=0.028 J-0.016 J = 0.012 J$

d) We already found the potential energy at point c, and it is given by
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.03 m)^2 =0.016 J$

Nuclear winter story. A crazy president is trying to solve the global warming problem and has successfully built a powerful H-bo

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

A nuclear winter is a climatic phenomenon that would follow the detonation of several atomic bombs in the event that a nuclear war broke out. These bombs would cause firestorms that would raise smoke, dust and particles into the atmosphere that would end up in the stratosphere and eventually spread throughout the globe.

Explanation:

That idea is far fetched, because even though those same particles would absorb sunlight, it would raise the temperature in the stratosphere and cause a decrease in temperature in the Earth's layer. Unable to seep the sun's rays, many plant species would die and this would affect the entire food chain.

In addition, that temperature rise in the stratosphere would destroy part of the ozone layer, causing greater exposure to ultraviolet rays. This would end up affecting health and further damaging plant species.

Temperature is a measure of how much the atoms in a substance are moving. Why is a substance hotter in the gas state than in the

dolphi86 [110]

Hey there!
In a gas state, particles have lots of energy, so they move around very rapidly, hitting each other and flowing around, that's why you see them moving so freely. Because they have so much energy, the substance is likely to be harder, as it can obtain more thermal energy, or heat.
Hope this helps!
