Explanation:

EE = ½ kx²

EE = ½ (800 N/m) (6 m)²

EE = 14,400 J

Explanation:

A. White Dwarf: It is the end stage of a Sun-like star. At the end the red giant star will throw away the outer layers in the form a shell and in the center a hot and bright core will remain. This core consists of carbon and oxygen but the conditions are not suitable to start the fusion of carbon and oxygen.

B. Protostar: It is the initial stage of a star. Here the fuel is available but still the temperature and pressure are not enough to start the nuclear fusion.

C. Main Sequence Star: A star that is fusing Hydrogen in the core to make Helium and releasing the energy in this process. Sun is currently in its main sequence stage. A star spend 90% of its lifetime in main sequence stage.

D. Red Giant Star: In such stars, the hydrogen has been exhausted and only Helium is left. As the core starts contracting under gravity, the conditions are apt for the fusion of Helium to begin. Helium starts fusing to make carbon while in the outer layer Hydrogen to Helium process goes on. As a result the star expands.

What factors contribute to global winds

serg [7]

Temperature and elevation, if it is cold in Idaho and warm on the eastern end of a mountain side in california (or if warm air is going in that direction) then the cold air, being more dense, will go towards california while the cold air in Idaho will become warm. Same goes for the rest of the world

Speed, frequency and wavelength are interconnected to each other.

<h3>What happens to the wavelength if the frequency increases?</h3>

As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. As the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer.

The wave speed is equal to the product of its frequency and wavelength, which shows the relationship between frequency and wavelength.

So we can conclude that speed, frequency and wavelength are interconnected to each other.

A 1 kg mass is attached to a spring with spring constant 7 Nt/m. What is the frequency of the simple harmonic motion? What is th

Scorpion4ik [409]

1. 0.42 Hz

The frequency of a simple harmonic motion for a spring is given by:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

where

k = 7 N/m is the spring constant

m = 1 kg is the mass attached to the spring

Substituting these numbers into the formula, we find

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{7 N/m}{1 kg}}=0.42 Hz$

2. 2.38 s

The period of the harmonic motion is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

where f = 0.42 Hz is the frequency. Substituting into the formula, we find

$T=\frac{1}{0.42 Hz}=2.38 s$

3. 0.4 m

The amplitude in a simple harmonic motion corresponds to the maximum displacement of the mass-spring system. In this case, the mass is initially displaced by 0.4 m: this means that during its oscillation later, the displacement cannot be larger than this value (otherwise energy conservation would be violated). Therefore, this represents the maximum displacement of the mass-spring system, so it corresponds to the amplitude.

4. 0.19 m

We can solve this part of the problem by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact:

- When the mass is released from equilibrium position, the compression/stretching of the spring is zero: $x=0$ , so the elastic potential energy is zero, and all the mechanical energy of the system is just equal to the kinetic energy of the mass:

$E=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m = 1 kg and v = 0.5 m/s is the initial velocity of the mass

- When the spring reaches the maximum compression/stretching (x=A=amplitude), the velocity of the system is zero, so the kinetic energy is zero, and all the mechanical energy is just elastic potential energy:

$E=U=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

Since the total energy must be conserved, we have:

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}kA^2\\A=\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}v=\sqrt{\frac{1 kg}{7 N/m}}(0.5 m/s)=0.19 m$

5. Amplitude of the motion: 0.44 m

We can use again the law of conservation of energy.

- $E_i = \frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2$ is the initial mechanical energy of the system, with $x_0=0.4 m$ being the initial displacement of the mass and $v_0=0.5 m/s$ being the initial velocity

$- E_f = \frac{1}{2}kA^2$ is the mechanical energy of the system when x=A (maximum displacement)

Equalizing the two expressions, we can solve to find A, the amplitude:

$\frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}kA^2\\A=\sqrt{x_0^2+\frac{m}{k}v_0^2}=\sqrt{(0.4 m)^2+\frac{1 kg}{7 N/m}(0.5 m/s)^2}=0.44 m$

6. Maximum velocity: 1.17 m/s

We can use again the law of conservation of energy.

- $E_i = \frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2$ is the initial mechanical energy of the system, with $x_0=0.4 m$ being the initial displacement of the mass and $v_0=0.5 m/s$ being the initial velocity

$- E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$ is the mechanical energy of the system when x=0, which is when the system has maximum velocity, $v_{max}$

Equalizing the two expressions, we can solve to find $v_{max}$ , the maximum velocity:

$\frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2\\v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x_0^2+v_0^2}=\sqrt{\frac{7 N/m}{1 kg}(0.4 m)^2+(0.5 m/s)^2}=1.17 m/s m$
