Answer:
The position x, is ± 0.4 m.
Explanation:
The total mechanical energy of the oscillatory motion is given as;

When the kinetic energy (E) is half of the elastic potential energy (U);

Equate (1) and (2)

Thus, the position x, is ± 0.4 m.
Answer:
Hey there!
It does not need a medium to transfer heat.
Let me know if this helps :)
Answer: 
Explanation:
Assuming there is only force in the y-component, the total net force
acting on the parachute and the sky diver is:
(1)
Where:
is the drag force acting upwards
is the weight of the sky diver acting downwards, hence with negative sign
Then:
(2) This is the total net force excerted on the system parachute-sky diver, and the fact it is positive means is upwards
Now, according Newton's 2nd Law of Motion the force is directly proportional to the mass
and to the acceleration
of a body:
(3)
Where
is the mass of the diver.
Substituting the known values and finding
:
(4)
(5)
Finally:
This is the acceleration of the sky diver. Note it has a positive sign, which means its direction is upwards.
