Answer:
The speed is maximum and the acceleration is zero
Explanation:
- The speed of the mass in simple harmonic motion can be found by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the total mechanical energy of the mass-spring system is sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy:
where
m is the mass
v is the speed
k is the spring constant
x is the displacement
As we can see, when the displacement is zero (x=0), the term representing the kinetic energy is maximum, so v (the speed) is also maximum.
- The acceleration of the mass in simple harmonic motion is proportional to the restoring force acting on the mass, which is given by Hook's law
where
k is the spring constant
x is the displacement
When x = 0, F = 0, so the net force acting on the mass is zero. Therefore, this also means that the acceleration of the mass is also zero: a = 0.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The electrostatic force and strong nuclear force are opposite forces. The electrostatic force causes the repulsion beteween the positively charged protons in the nucleus but the strong force keeps the nucleus glued together but overcoming the electrostatic force. They would both increase upon the addition of a proton or radioactivity will result.
Answer:
1/2m or 0.5m
Explanation:
The formula to find the speed of a wave is given by:
V = frequency x wavelength
To find the wavelength, make the wavelength the subject of the formula
Therefore, wavelength = velocity ÷ frequency
Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.
