Answer:

mass

Explanation:

astronomers use Newtons gravitational law as a link between gravity and orbits to measure the masses of stars and planets.

Newtons gravitational law states that the gravitational force of attraction between two planets is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

A 0.20 kg mass on a horizontal spring is pulled back 2.0 cm and released. If, instead, a 0.40 kg mass were used in this same exp

KIM [24]

Answer:

The total mechanical energy does not change if the value of the mass is changed. That is, remain the same

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of a spring-mass system is equal to the elastic potential energy where the object is at the amplitude of the motion. That is:

$E=U=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$ (1)

k: spring constant

A: amplitude of the motion = 2.0cm

As you can notice in the equation (1), the total mechanical energy of the system does not depend of the mass of the object. It only depends of the amplitude A and the spring constant.

Hence, if you use a mass of 0.40kg the total mechanical energy is the same as the obtained with a mas 0.20kg

Remain the same
