You know that when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (A), the velocity is zero, which implies that the kinetic energy (KE) is zeero, so the total mechanical energy (ME) is the potential energy (PE).
And you know that the potential energy, PE, is [ 1/2 ] k (x^2)
Then, use x = A, to calculate the PE in the point where ME = PE.
ME = PE = [1/2] k (A)^2.
At half of the amplitude, x = A/2 => PE = [ 1/2] k (A/2)^2
=> PE = [1/4] { [1/2]k(A)^2 } = .[1/4] ME
So, if PE is 1/4 of ME, KE is 3/4 of ME.
And the answer is 3/4
The initial momentum of the system can be expressed as,

The final momentum of the system can be given as,

According to conservation of momentum,

Plug in the known expressions,

Initially, the second mass move towards the first mass therefore the initial speed of second mass will be taken as negative and the recoil velocity of first mass is also taken as negative.
Plug in the known values,

Thus, the final velocity of second mass is 2.99 m/s.
Convex lenses are thicker at the centers than the edges, they are known as the converging lenses. Rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together (they converge). When rays of light that are parallel pass through a convex lens they are refracted, the refracted rays converge at one point called the principal focus.
Answer:
greater
Explanation:
the speed of sound in steel is greater than water. the speed of sound in wood is not, In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration.
Wood is less dense and force can make a sound.
