Answer:
240 ft
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity = 96 ft/s
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration = 12 m/s² on Mars 32 ft/s² on Earth negative due to upward direction
Mars
Earth
Differentiating the first equation with respect to time we get
Equating with zero
Differentiating the second equation with respect to time we get
Equating with zero
Applying the time taken to the above equations, we get
Difference in height = 384-144 = 240 ft
The stone will travel 240 ft higher on Mars
Answer:
A. when the mass has a displacement of zero
Explanation:
The velocity of a mass on a spring can be calculated by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the total energy of the mass-spring system is equal to the sum of the elastic potential energy (U) of the spring and the kinetic energy (K) of the mass:
where
k is the spring constant
x is the displacement of the mass with respect to the equilibrium position of the spring
m is the mass
v is the velocity of the mass
Since the total energy E must remain constant, we can notice the following:
- When the displacement is zero (x=0), the velocity must be maximum, because U=0 so K is maximum
- When the displacement is maximum, the velocity must be minimum (zero), because U is maximum and K=0
Based on these observations, we can conclude that the velocity of the mass is at its maximum value when the displacement is zero, so the correct option is A.
