A) The total energy of the system is sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy:
E=K+U= \frac{1}{2}mv^2 +  \frac{1}{2}kx^2
where
m is the mass
v is the speed
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation/compression of the spring

The total energy is conserved, so we can calculate its value at any point of the motion. If we take the point of maximum displacement:
x=A=4.00 cm = 0.04 m
then the velocity of the system is zero, so the total energy is just potential energy, and it is equal to
E=U= \frac{1}{2}kA^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.04 m)^2=0.028 J

b) When the position of the object is 
x=1.00 cm = 0.01 m
the potential energy of the system is
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.01 m)^2 = 1.75 \cdot 10^{-3} J
and so the kinetic energy is
K=E-U=0.028 J - 1.75 \cdot 10^{-3}J =0.026 J
since the mass is m=50.0 g=0.05 kg, and the kinetic energy is given by
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
we can re-arrange the formula to find the speed of the object:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 0.026 J}{0.05 kg} }=1.02 m/s

c) The potential energy when the object is at 
x=3.00 cm=0.03 m
is
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.03 m)^2 =0.016 J
Therefore the kinetic energy is
K=E-U=0.028 J-0.016 J = 0.012 J

d) We already found the potential energy at point c, and it is given by
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.03 m)^2 =0.016 J

When we see a meteor shower, it means that ________.
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

The meteor shower is the celestial activity in which meteors are observed to radiate or originate from one point.

Meteors are nothing but dust or ice from the trails of comets. Most of the meteors are less than the size of the sand particle.

We will see comet shower when we earth will cross the orbit of the comet.

Hence, the correct answer is option A

What does energy and Newton's Laws (all three) have to do with roller coasters?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Potential Energy is the energy that is waiting to be released like at the top of the roller coaster, Kinetic energy is the energy that is moving the rollercoaster downhill fast.

Three Laws:

The rollercoaster will rest at the top, and then the gears will make it move downhill, and make it stop.

The gears make the rollercoaster move, and in reaction, it pushes back on the gears.

What is the gravitational force between mars and Phobos
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

F=5.16\times 10^{15}\ N

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of Mars is, m_M=6.42\times 10^{23}\ kg

Mass of its moon Phobos, m_P=1.06\times 10^{16}\ kg

Distance between Mars and Phobos, d = 9378 km

It is required to find the gravitational force between Mars and Phobos. The force between two masses is given by

F=G\dfrac{m_Mm_P}{d^2}

Plugging all values, we get :

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{6.42\times 10^{23}\times 1.06\times 10^{16}}{(9378\times 10^3)^2}\\\\F=5.16\times 10^{15}\ N

So, the gravitational force is 5.16\times 10^{15}\ N.

Which evidence is lost likely used to indicate the beginning of solar system formation?
deff fn [24]

Explanation :

Our solar system was formed about 4.6 billion years ago. It is formed when gravity exerted low-density cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The massive cloud of gas and dust is called as Orion Nebula.  

In a small area, the overdensity of clouds occurs. This caused the contraction, to begin. Due to this contraction the potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy of individual gas particles.

Hence the correct option is " materials were pulled together by the gravity". This is the one of the evidence used to indicate the beginning of the solar system.
