Kinetic energy = (1/2)*mass*velocity^2
KE = (1/2)mv^2
KE = (1/2)(478)(15)^2
KE = 53775J

Which of the following is an expression of Newton's second law? O A. The acceleration of an object is determined by its mass and

dangina [55]

Answer: is A

The acceleration of an object is determined by its mass and the net force acting on it.

Newton's second law says that "F=ma". what this means is that the force you apply to an object is equal to its mass times how fast it is accelerating.

Hope it helped.

Two different simple harmonic oscillators have the same natural frequency (f=8.80 Hz) when they are on the surface of the Earth.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

8.80 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a loaded spring is given by

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

where k and m are the spring constant and the mass of the load respectively. The values of these do not change because they are internal properties of the components of the system.

Hence, the frequency of the vertical spring mass does not change and is 8.80 Hz.

On the other hand, the frequency of the simple pendulum is affected because it is given by

$\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}$

where g and l are acceleration due to gravity and length of the pendulum, respectively. It is thus seen that it depends on g, which changes with location. In fact, the new frequency is given by

$f_2 = 8.80\sqrt{\dfrac{1.67}{9.81}}=3.63 \text{ Hz}$
