Answer:

Option (e)

Explanation:

A body executing SHM moves to and fro or back and forth  about its mean position.

When the particle is at mean position, its velocity is maximum and when it is at extreme position its velocity is zero.

So, when it is at maximum distance:

a.

The acceleration is maximum.

b.

The potential energy is maximum.

c.

The total mechanical energy is non zero.

d.

The kinetic energy is zero.

e. The speed is zero. Correct

A 3.0 kg box is suspended by a series of ropes as shown below. The tension force in the horizontal rope is -40 N. What is the te
Nitella [24]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Let the force in the horizontal rope be F₁ and the force in the diagonal rope be F₂:

The total force in the horizontal and vertical directions must be zero, since the object is at rest and is not accelerating.

The horizontal component of the forces:

F₁ + F₂ = -40N + F₂ = 0

F₂ = 40N

The vertical component of the forces:

F₁ + F₂ - mg = 0 + F₂ - mg = 0

F₂ = mg

If I assume the gravitational constant g = 10 m/s²:

F₂ = (3 kg) * (10 m/s²) = 30N

Adding the horizontal and vertical components of the force F₂:

F₂ = √((40N)² + (30N)²) = 50N

An electroscope is a simple device consisting of a metal ball that is attached by a conductor to two thin leaves of metal foil p
baherus [9]

Answer:

the electroscope separate  by the presence of charge carriers

Explanation:

Metal bodies are characterized by having free (mobile) electrons. In the electroscope the plates are in balance; when the external metal ball is touched, a charge is introduced into the device, when the body that touched the ball is separated, an excess charge remains. This charge, being a metal, is distributed over the entire surface, giving a uniform density and an electric force of repulsion is created between the two charged sheets, which tends to separate the sheets. This force is counteracted by the tension component as the sheets are separated at a given angle, the separation reaches the point where

                  Fe - Tx = 0

                  Fe = Tx

In summary, the electroscope separate its leaves by the presence of charge carriers

azamat

Answer:

1.171

Explanation:

if n₁sinΘ₁=n₂sinΘ₂, then n₂=n₁sinΘ₁ / sinΘ₂;

n_2=\frac{1.5*sin45}{sin65}=\frac{1.5*0.707}{0.906} =1.1705

Natalie accelerate her skateboard along a straight path from 0 m/s to 4.0 m/s in 2.5 s. find her average acceleration
Vikentia [17]
Acceleration=(speed end - speed start)/ time
Data:
speed end=4 m/s
speed start=0 m/s
time=2.5 s

acceleration=(4 m/s - 0 m/s)/2.5 s=1.6 m/s²

Answer: the acceleration would be 1.6 m/s²
