When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a
Sergeu [11.5K]

1) Maximum

2) Maximum

Explanation:

The force acting on a mass on a spring is given by Hooke's law; in magnitude:

F=kx

where

F is the force

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement

Also we know from Newton's second law that we can write

F=ma

where

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

So we can write the equation as

ma=kx (1)

From this relationship, we see that the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement.

On the other hand, we know that the total mechanical energy of the system mass-spring is constant, and it is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=const. (2)

where the first term is the elastic potential energy while the second term is the kinetic energy, and where

v is the velocity of the mass

From eq. (2), it is clear that when displacement increases, velocity decreases, and vice-versa; however, from eq.(1) we also know that acceleration is proportional to the displacement.

Therefore this means that:

- When acceleration increases, velocity decreases

- When acceleration decreases, velocity increases

Therefore, the two answers here are:

- When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a  maximum

When the velocity of a mass on a spring is zero, the acceleration is at a  maximum

How often a wave occurs in the waves
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Frequency – The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time. Frequency is measured in units called hertz (Hz), and is defined as the number of waves per second. A wave that occurs every second has a frequency of 1 wave per second (1/s) or 1 Hz.

A proton of mass m is at rest when it is suddenly struck head-on by an alpha particle (which consistsof 2 protons and 2 neutrons
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

3/5 v

Explanation:

The computation of speed will the alpha particle have after the collision is shown below:-

In a perfectly elastic the kinetic energy and collision the momentum are considered.

The velocity of the particles defines the below equation:

VA_f=(\frac{m_A-m_B}{m_A+m_B})VA_i+(\frac{2m_B}{m_A+m_B})VB_i

As we know that

VA_i=v

\\VB_i=0

Here, we consider A is the alpha particle and B is the proton and now by the above values we can solve the equation which is below:-

VA_f=(\frac{4m-m}{4m+m})v

\\VA_f=\frac{3m}{5m}v

\\VA_f=\frac{3}{5}v

Therefore the correct answer is \frac{3}{5}v
