Ivan
Yes, it is true to a certain that the number of outer shell electrons determines the chemical properties of an element, only because this determines how the element interacts with other elements.

As a mass on a spring moves farther from the equilibrium position, how do the velocity, acceleration, and force change
Umnica [9.8K]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

m =  the mass of the object
x = the distance of the object from the equilibrium position at time t.
v = the velocity of the object at time t
a = the acceleration of the object at time t
A =  the amplitude ( the maximum distance) of the mass from the equilibrium
        position

The oscillatory motion of the object (without damping) is given by
x(t) = A sin(ωt)
where
ω =  the circular frequency of the motion
T =  the period of the motion so that ω = (2π)/T

The velocity and acceleration are respectively
v(t) = ωA cos(ωt)
a(t) = -ω²A sin(ωt)

In the equilibrium position,
x is zero;
v is maximum;
a is zero.

At the farthest distance (A) from the equilibrium position,
x is maximum;
v is zero;
a is zero.

In the graphs shown, it is assumed (for illustrative purposes) that
A = 1 and T = 1.

While entering a freeway, a car accelerates from rest at a rate of 2.40 m/s2 for 12.0 s. (a) Draw a sketch of the situation. (b)
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) See attached picture, b) We know the initial velocity = 0, initial position=0, time=12.0s, acceleration=2.40m/s^{2}, c) the car travels 172.8m in those 12 seconds, d) The car's final velocity is 28.8m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to draw a sketch of the situation, I must include the data I know, the data I would like to know and a drawing of the car including the direction of the movement and its acceleration, just like in the attached picture.

b) From the information given by the problem I know:

initial velocity =0

acceleration = 2.40m/s^{2}

time = 12.0 s

initial position = 0

c)

unknown:

displacement.

in order to choose the appropriate equation, I must take the knowns and the unknown and look for a formula I can use to solve for the unknown. I know the initial velocity, initial position, time, acceleration and I want to find out the displacement. The formula that contains all this data is the following:

x=x_{0}+V_{x0}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{x}t^{2}

Once I got the equation I need to find the displacement, I can plug the known values in, like this:

x=0+0(12s)+\frac{1}{2}(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}

after cancelling the pertinent units, I get that  my answer will be given in meters. So I get:

x=\frac{1}{2} (2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}

which solves to:

x=172.8m

So the displacement of the car in 12 seconds is 172.8m, which makes sense taking into account that it will be accelerating for 12 seconds and each second its velocity will increase by 2.4m/s.

d) So, like the previous part of the problem, I know the initial position of the car, the time it travels, the initial velocity and its acceleration. Now I also know what its final position is, so we have more than enough information to find this answer out.

I need to find the final velocity, so I need to use an equation that will use some or all of the known data and the unknown. In order to solve this problem, I can use the following equation:

a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{0} }{t}

Next, since I need to find the final velocity, I can solve the equation just for that, I can start by multiplying both sides by t so I get:

at=V_{f}-V_{0}

and finally I can add V_{0} to both sides so I get:

V_{f}=at+V_{0}

and now I can proceed and substitute the known values:

V_{f}=at+V_{0}

V_{f}=(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}}} (12s)+0

which solves to:

V_{f}=28.8m/s
