Answer:
The impulse on the object is 60Ns.
Explanation:
Impulse is defined as the product of the force applied on an object and the time at which it acts. It is also the change in the momentum of a body.
F = m a
F = m(
)
⇒ Ft = m(
-
)
where: F is the dorce on the object, t is the time at which it acts, m is the mass of the object,
is its initialvelocity and
is the final velocity of the object.
Therefore,
impulse = Ft = m(
-
)
From the question, m = 3kg,
= 0m/s and
= 20m/s.
So that,
Impulse = 3 (20 - 0)
= 3(20)
= 60Ns
The impulse on the object is 60Ns.
At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:

while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:

And the total energy of the system is

Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:

while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is

And the total energy is

For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore

. So we can write

that we can solve to find an expression for v:
My opinion, the answer is b
I’m pretty sure it’s average speed= total distance and total time which is A.
