Answer: True
Explanation:
As the spring is compressed, it acumulates energy, and the spring "wants to release that energy". This acumulated energy, (potential energy) is called "elastic potential energy" because of the elastical nature of the spring, that when compressed it wants to return to the original shape. So the sentence is true
The box is accelerated from rest to 4 m/s in a matter of 2.5 s, so its acceleration <em>a</em> is such that
4 m/s = <em>a</em> (2.5 s) → <em>a</em> = (4 m/s) / (2.5 s) = 1.6 m/s²
Then the force applied to the box has a magnitude <em>F</em> such that
<em>F</em> = (10 kg) (1.6 m/s²) = 16 N
Take into account that in a standing wave, the frequency f of the points executing simple harmonic motion, is simply a multiple of the fundamental harmonic fo, that is:
f = n·fo
where n is an integer and fo is the first harmonic or fundamental.
fo is given by the length L of a string, in the following way:
fo = v/λ = v/(L/2) = 2v/L
becasue in the fundamental harmonic, the length of th string coincides with one hal of the wavelength of the wave.
B south because north polarities line up with the opposite polarities
