Answer: option b.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a spring with constant K is calculated as:

kinetic energy = (k/2)*x^2

Where x^2 is the displacement of the spring with respect to it's rest position.

This can be written as a function like:

x = A*cos(2*pi*f*t)

where:

A is the amplitude (the maximum distance that the spring can move in each direction)

f is the frequency (and 2*pi*f is the angular frequency)

and t is the variable, it represents the time.

Replacing this in the kinetic energy equation, we get:

kinetic energy = (k/2)*(A*cos(2*pi*f*t))^2

This is the same as the option b: b. 1/2kA^2cos^2(2πft)

Then the corrrect option is b.

A block of mass m=9.0 kg and speed V and is behind a block of mass M= 27 kg and speed of .50 m/s. The surface is frictionless, a
sammy [17]

Answer:

2.06 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal. Considering this case where we have frictionless surface, no momentum is lost in the process.

Momentum before collision

Momentum is given by p=mv where m and v represent mass. The initial sum of momentum will be 9v+(27*0.5)=9v+13.5

Momentum after collision

The momentum after collision will be given by (9+27)*0.9=32.4

Relating the two then 9v+13.5=32.4

9v=18.5

V=2.055555555555555555555555555555555555555 m/s

Rounded off, v is approximately 2.06 m/s

How do the tension of the cord and the force of gravity affect a pendulum?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

<em>Force of gravity may not affect a pendulum during its equilibrium state</em>. But  the gravity can affect the pendulum when a force occurs in any direction of the bob connected to the cord that makes a swing sideways. The gravity of pendulum never stops, it always accelerates. So the gravity affects the pendulum acceleration and speed.    

<em>Similarly the tension in the cord will not affect the pendulum</em><em> </em>but if change in the length of the pendulum while keeping other factors constant changes the length of the period of pendulum. longer pendulum swings with lower frequency than shorter pendulums.

Naddika [18.5K]
<span>Nuclear energy is cleaner while generating electricity. Nuclear fission provides energy without releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. However, nuclear power plants generate significant amounts of radioactive waste.  That is why we should not choose nuclear energy over fossil fuel power plants.</span>
