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

An 92-kg football player traveling 5.0m/s in stopped in 10s by a tackler. What is the original kinetic energy of the player? Exp
Artemon [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the football player, m = 92 kg

Velocity of player, v = 5 m/s

Time taken, t = 10 s

(1) We need to find the original kinetic energy of the player. It is given by :

k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

k=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2

k = 1150  J

In two significant figure, k=1.2\times 10^3\ J

(2) We know that work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. Work done per unit time is called power of the player. We need to find the average power required to stop him. So, his final velocity v = 0

i.e. P=\dfrac{W}{t}=\dfrac{\Delta K}{t}

P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2}{10\ s}

P = 115 watts

In two significant figures, P=1.2\times 10^2\ Watts

Hence, this is the required solution.

A car has uniformly accelerated from rest to a speed of 25m/s after traveling 75m. What is its acceleration in m/s^2
Roman55 [17]
<h2><em>So there is two truths given. After an amount of time Ttotal (lets call it ‘t’): </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>The car’s speed is 25m/s </em></h2><h2><em>The distance travelled is 75m </em></h2><h2><em>Then we have the formulas for speed and distance: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>v = a x t -> 25 = a x t </em></h2><h2><em>s = 0.5 x a x t^2 -> 75 = 0.5 x a x t^2 </em></h2><h2><em>Now, we know that both acceleration and time equal for both truths. So we can say: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>t = 25 / a </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = 75 / (0.5 x a) = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em>Since we don’t want to use square root at 2) we go squared for 1): </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = (25 / a) ^2 = 625 / a^2 </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em>Since t has the same value for both truths we can say: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>625 / a^2 = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>Thus multiply both sides with a^2: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>625 = 150 x a, so a = 625 / 150 = 4.17 </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>We can now calculate t as well t = 25 * 150 / 625 = 6</em></h2>

A box with a mass of 12.5kg sits on the floor how high would you need to lift it has a GPE of 568j
Degger [83]
GPE=mgh
m= 12.5kg
g= 9.81 always
h=?

568=12.5*9.81*h
Solve for h
You will get 4.63m

Which is the best insulator? metal, glass, plastic, or Styrofoam?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Styrofoam would be the best insulator because it traps the air in small pockets, blocking the flow of heat energy.
