Answer:

The object can have zero velocity and, simultaneously, nonzero acceleration.

The object can have zero acceleration and, simultaneously, nonzero velocity.

The object can have nonzero velocity and nonzero acceleration simultaneously.

Explanation:

An object in simple harmonic motion has a total mechanical energy (sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy) that is constant:

E=U+K=1/2kx^2 + 1/2}mv^2

where,

k is equal to the spring constant

x is equal to the displacement

m is the mass

v is the speed

We can note that the force on the spring is given by Hook's law:

F=-kx

In Newton's law F = ma, this can be also be written as

ma=-kx

a=-k/mx

This implies that the acceleration is proportional to the displacement.

From the first equation, we can now states that:

When the displacement is zero, x=0, the acceleration is zero, a=0, and the velocity is maximum

When the velocity is zero, v=0, the acceleration is maximum, which occurs when the displacement is maximum

In all the other intermediate situations, both velocity and acceleration are nonzero.

So the correct answers are

The object can have zero acceleration and, simultaneously, nonzero velocity.

The object can have nonzero velocity and nonzero acceleration simultaneously.

The object can have zero velocity and, simultaneously, nonzero acceleration.

Complete Question:

An object oscillates back and forth on the end of a spring.

Which of the following statements are true at some time during the course of the motion? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. The object can have zero acceleration and, simultaneously, nonzero velocity. The object can have zero velocity and, simultaneously, nonzero acceleration. The object can have zero velocity and, simultaneously, zero acceleration. The object can have nonzero velocity and nonzero acceleration simultaneously.

Answer:

a) the object can have zero acceleration and, simultaneously, nonzero velocity

b) the object can have zero velocity and, simultaneously, nonzero acceleration

d) the object can have nonzero velocity and nonzero acceleration simultaneously

Explanation:

For an object oscillating back and forth on the end of a spring, when the object swings to the extremes, it momentarily stops and the velocity becomes zero. Rather than being zero, acceleration is maximum at these points because the net force at these extremes is maximum. This justifies option B

At the middle, which is the equilibrium position, the net force is zero because the object is motionless, and hence the acceleration is zero. At this point, the velocity is maximum and not zero. This justifies option A

When the object is swinging and it is neither at the middle nor at the extremes, both acceleration and velocity are not zero. This justifies option D

It is not possible for both the acceleration and the velocity of the swinging object to be simultaneously zero. Option C is wrong

A 60 kg skydiver is falling at a terminal velocity of 50 m/s.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The gravitational force is definitely acting downwards towards the ground and this is equal to the weight of the skydiver.

the acceleration a = 7.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that :

the mass of the skydiver = 60 kg

Velocity = 50 m/s

Thus;  gravitational force is definitely acting downwards towards the ground and this is equal to the weight of the skydiver.

Also; the air resistance is acting upward and the resultant of both forces = mass×acceleration

So;

mg-R = ma

60(9.8) - 120 = 60(a)

588 -120 = 60a

468 = 60a

a = \frac{468}{60}

a = 7.8 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration a = 7.8 m/s²

vivado [14]
The correct answer to this question is this one:

By definition, if a molecule is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, that molecule is a water.<span> In fact, the structure of water is written as H20, which signifies that two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom make up the molecule.</span>

In a nuclear power plant, nuclear reactions are used to heat steam, which turns a turbine. What energy conversion is happening i
mr_godi [17]
In a nuclear power plant, you start off with uranium (nuclear energy), and a lot of that nuclear energy is released by heat energy. Heat then boils water and drives a turbine for a generator, which creates kinetic energy, which produces electrical energy.

In other words, your answer is B.

A ball is thrown upward with an initial vertical velocity of v0 to a maximum height of hmax and falls back toward earth. on the
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: v_f=g\frac{t}{2}

The ball was thrown at the speed of v_o.

Maximum height achieved is h_{max}

Time of flight is t.

Now, the time the ball takes to achieve maximum height = the time taken by ball to fall back = \frac{t}{2}

let us just consider the second half of the flight. At h_{max}, the velocity would be zero. let us consider as the initial velocity for the second half of the flight i.e. v_i=0

Using the equation of motion:

v_f=v_i+at

where,  v_f is the final velocity, a is the acceleration, t is the time taken.

Because the ball would fall under gravity, hence a=g and time of flight would be t/2

\Rightarrow v_f=0+g\frac {t}{2}

Potential energy is stored energy meaning you are siting at the the top of the slide doing nothing when you are going down the slide you have both potential and kinetic energy because you are moving but youre not doing anything . Gravity and friction play apart by being gravity and pulling you to the ground and friction with the weight and water togeter going downward.
