A student is observing an object of unknown mass that is oscillating horizontally at the end of an ideal spring. The student mea

sure the object's period of oscillation with a stopwatch. While the object is continuously oscillating, the student determines the maximum speed of the object during two oscillations. The first speed is 3.5 m/s and the second speed is 2.7 m/s. Which of the following could account for the decrease in the object's maximum kinetic energy?
a. Meterstick
b. Motion sensor
c. Balance
d. Photogate

Answer:

Decrease in the object's maximum kinetic energy is caused by loss of energy by the system to its immediate surroundings.

Explanation:

None of the options are correct because for an object spring system, maximum kinetic energy is reduced when the system loses energy to the immediate surrounding.

Thus, decrease in the object's maximum kinetic energy is caused by loss of energy by the system to its immediate surroundings.

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy. If a car was released down the track from a height what happens to the potential ene
erastova [34]

Answer:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed,  although it can be changed from one form to another.    KE + PE = constant. A simple example involves a stationary car at the top of a hill.  As the car coasts down the hill, it moves faster and so it’s kinetic energy increases and it’s potential energy decreases.  On the way back up the hill, the car converts kinetic energy to potential energy.  In the absence of friction, the car should end up at the same height as it started.

This law had to be combined with the law of conservation of mass when it was determined that mass can be inter-converted with energy.

One can also imagine the energy transformation in a pendulum.  When the ball is at the top of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is potential energy.   When the ball is at the bottom of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is kinetic energy.   The total energy of the ball stays the same but is continuously exchanged between kinetic and potential forms
