Answer:

The mechanical advantage of using a lever is affected by the distance between the effort and the fulcrum and by the placement of the load. ... When the fulcrum is centered between the load and the lift, the amount of effort exerted to push down on the lever equals the amount of the load being lifted on the other end.

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 wrestler weighs in for the first match on the moon. will the athlete weigh more or less on the moon than he does on Earth?

Firdavs [7]

The moon is 1/4 the size of Earth, so the moon's gravity is much less than the earth's gravity, 83.3% (or 5/6) less to be exact. Finally, "weight" is a measure of the gravitational pull between two objects. So of course you would weigh much less on the moon.
