a. 0.40 m/s.
b. 0.20 m/s.
c. 0.28 m/s.
d. 0.14 m/s.

Answer:

b. 0.20 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial mass, m = 0.2 kg

maximum speed,  v = 0.3 m/s

The total energy of the spring at the given maximum speed is calculated as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = 0.5 x 0.2 x 0.3²

K.E = 0.009 J

If the mass is changed to 0.4 kg

¹/₂mv² = K.E

mv² = 2K.E

v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} } \\\\v =  \sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.009}{0.4} } \\\\v = 0.21 \ m/s\\\\v \approx 0.20 \ m/s

Therefore, the maximum speed is 0.20 m/s

A quick USB charger claims its output current is 1.97Amp. We know that the standard USB output voltage is 5V. What is the output
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Output power of the charger is 9.85 watts.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Output current of the USB charger, I = 1.97 A

The standard USB output voltage, V = 5 V

We need to find the output power of the charger. It can be determined using the following formula as :

P = V × I

P=5\ V\times 1.97\ A

P = 9.85 watts

The output power of the charger is 9.85 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 1.00 kg object is attached to a horizontal spring. the spring is initially stretched by 0.500 m, and the object is released fr
valina [46]
The  spring is initially stretched, and the mass released from rest (v=0). The next time the speed becomes zero again is when the spring is fully compressed, and the mass is on the opposite side of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position, after a time t=0.100 s. This corresponds to half oscillation of the system. Therefore, the period of a full oscillation of the system is
T=2 t = 2 \cdot 0.100 s = 0.200 s
Which means that the frequency is
f= \frac{1}{T}= \frac{1}{0.200 s}=5 Hz
and the angular frequency is
\omega=2 \pi f = 2 \pi (5 Hz)=31.4 rad/s

In a spring-mass system, the maximum velocity of the object is given by
v_{max} = A \omega
where A is the amplitude of the oscillation. In our problem, the amplitude of the motion corresponds to the initial displacement of the object (A=0.500 m), therefore the maximum velocity is
v_{max} = A \omega = (0.500 m)(31.4 rad/s)= 15.7 m/s

A piece of driftwood moves up and down as water waves pass beneath it. However, it does not move toward the shore with the waves
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

It's A

Explanation:

As the waves progress through the medium, the particles they are made of move perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. The particles do not move with the wave. So waves transmit energy but not matter as they progress through a medium.
