Answer:
I tend to slap thicc trees a#ss
Explanation:
Final velocity = 0, thus final kinetic energy is 0
Initial kinetic energy:
0.5mv²
= 0.5 x 0.48 x 4.08²
= 4.0 J
Decrease in kinetic energy = 4 - 0 = 4 Joules
a. 0.5 T
- The amplitude A of a simple harmonic motion is the maximum displacement of the system with respect to the equilibrium position
- The period T is the time the system takes to complete one oscillation
During a full time period T, the mass on the spring oscillates back and forth, returning to its original position. This means that the total distance covered by the mass during a period T is 4 times the amplitude (4A), because the amplitude is just half the distance between the maximum and the minimum position, and during a time period the mass goes from the maximum to the minimum, and then back to the maximum.
So, the time t that the mass takes to move through a distance of 2 A can be found by using the proportion

and solving for t we find

b. 1.25T
Now we want to know the time t that the mass takes to move through a total distance of 5 A. SInce we know that
- the mass takes a time of 1 T to cover a distance of 4A
we can set the following proportion:

And by solving for t, we find

The answer is D) The outcome of the experiment will be non observable
