Answer:

a = 0.009 J

b = 0.19 m/s

c = 0.005 J and 0.004 J

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the object, m = 0.5 kg

Spring constant of the spring, k = 20 N/m

Amplitude of the motion, A = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Displacement of the system, x = 2 cm = 0.02 m

a

Total energy of the system, E =

E = 1/2 * k * A²

E = 1/2 * 20 * 0.03²

E = 10 * 0.0009

E = 0.009 J

b

E = 1/2 * k * A² = 1/2 * m * v(max)²

1/2 * m * v(max)² = 0.009

1/2 * 0.5 * v(max)² = 0.009

v(max)² = 0.009 * 2/0.5

v(max)² = 0.018 / 0.5

v(max)² = 0.036

v(max) = √0.036

v(max) = 0.19 m/s

c

V = ±√[(k/m) * (A² - x²)]

V = ±√[(20/0.5) * (0.03² - 0.02²)]

V = ±√(40 * 0.0005)

V = ±√0.02

V = ±0.141 m/s

Kinetic Energy, K = 1/2 * m * v²

K = 1/2 * 0.5 * 0.141²

K = 1/4 * 0.02

K = 0.005 J

Potential Energy, P = 1/2 * k * x²

P = 1/2 * 20 * 0.02²

P = 10 * 0.0004

P = 0.004 J

Derive an expression for the energy needed to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.Ignorin
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy on the surface of the earth

= - GMm/ R

Potential at height h

=  - GMm/ (R+h)

Potential difference

= GMm/ R -  GMm/ (R+h)

= GMm ( 1/R - 1/ R+h )

= GMmh / R (R +h)

This will be the energy needed  to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.

Extra  energy is needed to get the same object into orbit at height h

= Kinetic energy of the orbiting object at height h

= 1/2 x potential energy at height h

= 1/2 x GMm / ( R + h)

Can a particle with constant speed be accelarating?<br>what if it has constant velocity?​
Olin [163]

Explanation:

it can be safely concluded that an object moving in a circle at constant speed is indeed accelerating. It is accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing.

When an object is moving with constant velocity, it does not change direction nor speed and therefore is represented as a straight line when graphed as distance over time.
