Answer:

A. 4.47 m/s

Explanation:

As the ball oscillates, it mechanical energy, aka the total kinetic and elastics energy stays the same. For the ball to be at maximum speed, its elastic energy i 0 and vice versa. When the ball is at rest, its kinetic energy is 0 and its elastic energy is at maximum at 50 cm, or 0.5 m

1500 g = 1.5 kg

E_e = E_k

kx^2/2 = mv^2/2

120*0.5^2/2 = 1.5*v^2/2

15 = 0.75v^2

v^2 = 15 / 0.75 = 20

v = \sqrt{20} = 4.47 m/s

If the units of your answer are kg ∙ m2/s3, which of the following types of quantities could your answer be?
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

  D.  power

Explanation:

  kg represents mass

  (m/v)² represents velocity squared

Then kg·m²/s² represents mass·velocity² = <em>kinetic energy</em> or <em>potential energy</em> or <em>work</em>.

  kg·m²/s³ will be the <em>rate of doing work</em>, which is power

Which is brighter in our sky, a star with apparent magnitude 2 or a star with apparent magnitude 7?
Lina20 [59]

The star with apparent magnitude 2 is more brighter than 7.

To find the answer, we have to know about apparent magnitude.

<h3>What is apparent magnitude?</h3>
  • 100 times as luminous as a star with an apparent brightness of 7 is a star with a magnitude of 2.
  • The apparent magnitude of bigger stars is always smaller.
  • The brightest star in the night sky is Sirius.
  • The brightness of a star or other celestial object perceived from Earth is measured in apparent magnitude (m).
  • The apparent magnitude of an object is determined by its inherent luminosity, its distance from Earth, and any light extinction brought on by interstellar dust in the path of the observer's line of sight.

Thus, we can conclude that, the star with apparent magnitude 2 is more brighter than 7.

How can i prove the conservation of mechanical energy?​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

We can also prove the conservation of mechanical energy of a freely falling body by the work-energy theorem, which states that change in kinetic energy of a body is equal to work done on it. i.e. W=ΔK. And ΔE=ΔK+ΔU. Hence the mechanical energy of the body is conserved

<h3>✽ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  ~<u>Hello There</u>!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ✽</h3>

➷ Earth's gravity is approximately 9.81

weight = mass x gravity

weight = 4.6 x 9.81

weight = 45.126

Answer is B. 45N
