When the maximum amplitude is reached, the body is also positioned in the maximum position which it can reach. At that point, the maximum potential energy stored in the system will therefore be taken.

PE = \frac{1}{2} kh_{max} ^2

However, when it reaches the maximum amplitude it is also in a change of direction of the velocity vector, reaching its minimum point in magnitude, thereby generating the kinetic energy to become zero.

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Therefore of the options shown, the correct answer would be B.

Which is an example of current electricity
Reil [10]

Answer:

A or B you choose

Explanation:

This is called current electricity or an electric current. A lightning bolt is one example of an electric current, although it does not last very long. Electric currents are also involved in powering all the electrical appliances that you use, from washing machines to flashlights and from telephones to MP3 players.

what is an electrical current, amp, ampere Current is the flow of electrons. When a circuit is closed then a current of electrons can flow and when a circuit is open then no current can flow. We can measure the flow of electrons just like you can measure the flow of water through a pipe.

A skydiver jumps out of a hovering helicopter. A few seconds later, another diver jumps out, so they both fall along the same ve
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

distance difference would a) increase

speed difference would f) stay the same

Explanation:

Let t be the time the 2nd skydiver takes to travel, since the first skydiver jumped first, his time would be t + Δt where Δt represent the duration between the the first skydiver and the 2nd one. Remember that as t progress (increases), Δt remain constant.

Their equations of motion for distance and velocities are

s_2 = gt^2/2

s_1 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2

v_2 = gt

v_1 = g(t + \Delta t)

Their difference in distance are therefore:

\Delta s = s_1 - s_2 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2 - gt^2/2

\Delta s = g/2((t + \Delta t)^2 - t^2)

\Delta s = g/2(t + \Delta t - t)(t + \Delta t + t) (AsA^2 - B^2 = (A-B)(A+B)

\Delta s = g\Delta t/2(2t + \Delta t)

So as time progress t increases, Δs would also increases, their distance becomes wider with time.

Similarly for their velocity difference

\Delta v = v_1 - v_2 = g(t + \Delta t) - gt

\Delta v = gt + g\Delta t - gt = g\Delta t

Since g and Δt both are constant, Δv would also remain constant, their difference in velocity remain the same.

This of this in this way: only the DIFFERENCE in speed stay the same, their own individual speed increases at same rate (due to same acceleration g). But the first skydiver is already at a faster speed (because he jumped first) when the 2nd one jumps. The 1st one would travel more distance compare to the 2nd one in a unit of time.

What is the primary source of energy for earths weather systems
PIT_PIT [208]
I believe the sun is the primary source of energy for Earth's weather system. The sun is the primary energy source for Earth's climate system which is the first set of essential principles of climate sciences. Additionally, it is the primary source that drives all weather events, including precipitation, hurricane and tornadoes. The sun drives the hydrologic cycle, and makes life on Earth possible.

The majority of earthquakes worldwide occur at all but one location. That is
natta225 [31]
Earthquakes occur in the crust or upper mantle, from the earth’s surface to about 400 miles below the surface. But the very deepest earthquakes only occur at subduction zones where cold crustal rock is being pushed deep into the earth. In California, earthquakes are almost all in the top 15 miles of the crust, except in northern California along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which extends into Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.(tectonic plate boundaries)

If we use 1 millimeter to represent 1 light-year, how large in diameter is the Milky Way Galaxy?
storchak [24]

Answer:

d.100 meters

Explanation:

The diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years.

Here we are using 1 millimiter (1 mm) to represent 1 light-year (1 ly). So, we can set the following proportion:

1 mm : 1 ly = x : 100,000 ly

and by finding x, we find the diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy in the scale used:

x=\frac{(1mm )(100,000 ly)}{1 ly}=100,000 mm = 100 m

so the correct answer is

d. 100 meters
