A mass on the end of a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion. At the instant when the mass is at its maximum displacement from

equilibrium, what is its instantaneous acceleration?
a. At maximum displacement, its instantaneous acceleration is zero.
b. At maximum displacement, its instantaneous acceleration is less than its maximum but not zero.
c. At maximum displacement, its instantaneous acceleration is also at maximum.
d. Instantaneous acceleration cannot be determined without additional information.

Answer:

C. At maximum displacement, its instantaneous acceleration is also at maximum.

Explanation:

Lets take

The general equation of the SHM  

Displacement

x= A sinω t

velocity

V=  Aω cosω t

Acceleration

a= -Aω² sinω t

Form the above we can say that displacement and the acceleration are in the same phase.

Therefore when displacement is maximum then acceleration also will be maximum.

Therefore the answer is C.

Brums [2.3K]
We get the clearest image if there is no magnification. When we have no magnification the image and real object have the same size.
If we look at the diagram that I  attached we can see that:
\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i}{d_0}
Two triangles that I marked are similar and from this we get:
\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i-f}{f}
The image and the object must have the same height so we get:
\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i-f}{f};h_i=h_0\\
1=\frac{d_i-f}{f}\\
d_i=2f
This tells how far the screen should be from the lens. 
The position of the screen on the optical bench is:
S=20.5cm+2f=20.5+2\cdot 15cm=50.5cm

The dogs of four-time Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race champion Jeff King pull two 100-kg sleds that are connected by a rope. The sl
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=1.2\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The dogs of four-time Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race champion Jeff King pull two 100-kg sleds that are connected by a rope, m = 100 kg

Force exerted by the doges on the rope attached to the front sled, F = 240 N

To find,

The acceleration of the sleds.

Solution,

Let a is the acceleration of the sleds. The product of mass and acceleration is called force. Its expression is given by :

F = ma

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{240\ N}{2\times 100\ kg} (m = 2m)

a=1.2\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the sleds is 1.2\ m/s^2.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

the order of importance must be     b e a f c

Explanation:

Modern theories indicate that the moon was formed by the collision of a bad plant with the Earth during its initial cooling period, due to which part of the earth's material was volatilized and as a ring of remains that eventually consolidated in Moon.

Based on the aforementioned, let's analyze the statements in order of importance

b) True. Since the moon is material evaporated from Earth, its compassion is similar

e) True. If the moon is material volatilized from the earth it must train a finite receding speed

a) True. The solar system was full of small bodies in erratic orbits that wander between and with larger bodies

f) False. The moon's rotation and translation are equal has no relation to its formation phase

c) false. The amount of vaporized material on the moon is large

Therefore, the order of importance must be

The difference in heights of the liquid in the two sides of the manometer is 43.4 cm when the atmospheric pressure is 755 mm hg.
Schach [20]

The atmospheric P is greater than the P in the flask, since the Hg level is lacking down lower on the side open to the atmosphere. 

43.4 cm x (10 mm / 1 cm) = 435 mm 

the density of Hg is 13.6 / 0.791 = 17.2 times better than the liquid in the manometer. This means that 1 mmHg = 17.2 mm of manometer liquid. 

435 mm manometer liquid x (1 mm Hg / 17.2 mm manometer liquid) = 25.3 mm Hg 

The pressure in the flask is 755 - 25.3 = 729.7 mmHg. 

729.7 mmHg x (1 atm / 760 mmHg ) = 0.960 atm.

Your film idea is about drones that take over the world. In the script, two drones are flying horizontally at the same speed and
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

vₓ = 20 m/s,    v_{y}  = -15 m / s

Explanation:

This is a conservation of moment problem, since it is a vector quantity we can work each axis independently

The system is formed by the two drones, so the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is conserved

X axis

Initial moment. Before the crash

         p₀ = m₁ v₀ₓ + m₂ v₀ₓ

Final moment. After the crash

       p_{fx} = (m₁ + m₂) vₓ

      p₀ₓ = p_{fx}

      m₁ v₀ₓ + m₂ v₀ₓ = (m₁ + m₂) vₓ

       vₓ = (m₁ + m₂) v₀ₓ / (m₁ + m₂)

       vₓ = v₀ₓ  = 20 m/s

Y Axis

Initial

         p_{oy} = m₁ v_{oy}

Final

         p_{fy} = (m₁ + m₂) v_{y}

         p_{oy} = p_{fy}

the drom rises and when it falls it has the same speed because there is no friction    v_{oy} = -60 m/s          

 

           m₁ v_{oy} = (m₁ + m₂) v_{y}

            v_{y} = m₁ / (m₁ + m₂) v_{oy}

            v_{y}  = 1/4    60

            v_{y}  = -15 m / s

Vertical speed is down
