Explanation:
A) Use Hooke's law to find the spring constant.
F = kx
40 N = k (0.4 m)
k = 100 N/m
B) Period of a spring-mass system is:
T = 2π √(m / k)
T = 2π √(2.6 kg / 100 N/m)
T = 1 s
Frequency is the inverse of period.
f = 1 / T
f = 1 Hz
True,
Explanation: because it’s the same reason that lighting touches the ground/ goes up to the sky, because it is trying to balance out its charges
The block's velocity is determined as 10.03 m/s.
<u>Explanation:</u>
According to work energy theorem, the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.
So, work done = Kinetic energy

Thus, the velocity can be determined as


Velocity = 10.03 m/s.
So the block's velocity is determined as 10.03 m/s.
