A 12 N package of flour is suddenly placed on the pan of a grocer's scale. The pan is supported from below by a vertical spring

with a force constant of 325 N/m. If the pan has negligible weight and no energy is dissipated by friction, find the maximum distance the spring will be compressed.

Answer:

  24/325 m ≈ 7.38 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The equilibrium position of the package is the distance at which the package weight is balanced by the spring force. That distance is ...

  (12 N)/(325 N/m) = 12/325 m

Since the package is placed suddenly on the pan and there are no losses in the system, the position of the package will oscillate about this distance with an amplitude equal to this distance. That is, the maximum compression will be to a distance that is twice this amount, or ...

  24/325 m

__

This is the depth at which all of the potential energy of the package due to its height is transformed into the potential energy of the spring due to its compression.

A is the correct answer. By drawing two arcs from the two end points and drawing a line down the middle of the arc, you are creating a line that is at right angles with line AB. It is also in the midpoint. This makes it a perpendicular bisector.

Answer:

The Identity Property

Step-by-step explanation:

The identity property for addition tells us that zero added to any number is the number itself. Zero is called the "additive identity." The identity property for multiplication tells us that the number 1 multiplied times any number gives the number itself.
