a. 0.5 T

- The amplitude A of a simple harmonic motion is the maximum displacement of the system with respect to the equilibrium position

- The period T is the time the system takes to complete one oscillation

During a full time period T, the mass on the spring oscillates back and forth, returning to its original position. This means that the total distance covered by the mass during a period T is 4 times the amplitude (4A), because the amplitude is just half the distance between the maximum and the minimum position, and during a time period the mass goes from the maximum to the minimum, and then back to the maximum.

So, the time t that the mass takes to move through a distance of 2 A can be found by using the proportion

1 T : 4 A = t : 2 A

and solving for t we find

t=\frac{(1T)(2 A)}{4A}=0.5 T

b. 1.25T

Now we want to know the time t that the mass takes to move through a total distance of 5 A. SInce we know that

- the mass takes a time of 1 T to cover a distance of 4A

we can set the following proportion:

1 T : 4 A = t : 5 A

And by solving for t, we find

t=\frac{(1T)(5 A)}{4A}=\frac{5}{4} T=1.25 T

IF it possible for an object to move for 10 seconds at a high speed and end up with an average velocity of zero? true or false
marishachu [46]

True, if you move something forward at 100 miles an hour but your on something moving backwards 100 miles an hour you up staying in the same location, aka zero velocity.

What is moment? Write down the law of moment.A long spanner is used to unscrew the tight nut.Why?​
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Moment is the product of force and its perpendicular distance from a point along its line of action.

The net moments on clockwise and anticlockwise is zero at a point.

The net force applied on a spanner handle is equal to the moment of the rotation

A crash test dummy is inside a test car moving at 55 km/h. How fast is the dummy moving relative to the seat he is sitting in?
kvasek [131]

The dummy is moving with a speed 0 km/h relative to the seat in which it is sitting.

If the relative speed was non-zero, the dummy would move away from its seat, which contradicts the problem formulation.
