Answer:
(a) The spring constant is 59.23 N/m
(b) The total energy involved in the motion is 0.06 J
Explanation:
Given;
mass, m = 240 g = 0.24 kg
frequency, f = 2.5 Hz
amplitude of the oscillation, A = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m
The angular speed is calculated as;
ω = 2πf
ω = 2 x π x 2.5
ω = 15.71 rad/s
(a) The spring constant is calculated as;

(b) The total energy involved in the motion;
E = ¹/₂kA²
E = (0.5) x (59.23) x (0.045)²
E = 0.06 J
Answer: All of our energy comes from the sun, which is our nearest star. The sun sends out huge amounts of energy through its rays every day. We call this energy solar energy or radiant energy. Without the sun, life on earth would not exist, since our planet would be totally frozen.
Nice paddling. Thanks for sharing.
Do you have some question to ask ?
The
sun is a ball of hot gases containing different kinds of elements at different
cores. It has a very high temperature that radiates all throughout the Milky
Way galaxy. The sun has three main parts; photosphere, chromospheres
and corona. The outer core of a star located at the chromospheres contains
mostly of hydrogen. Inside the hydrogen is helium then carbon, oxygen, neon,
magnesium silicon and the inert gas. The photosphere is scattered by the loose electrons in the corona’s plasma.
