If an object on a horizontal, frictionless surface is attached to a spring, displaced, and then released, it will oscillate. If it is displaced 0.120 m from its equilibrium position and released with zero initial speed, then after 0.800 s its displacement is found to be 0.120 m on the opposite side, and it has passed the equilibrium position once during this interval. Find (a) the amplitude; (b) the period; (c) the frequency. 14.3 . The tip of a tuning fork go

A) 0.120

B) 1.6s

C) 0.625 Hz

Explanation:

Here, X = 0.120 m

x = 0.120 m after t = 0.800 s

A- Amplitude = max displacement from equillibrium position = 0.120 m

B- Period = 2 * 0.800 = 1.6 s

C- Frequency = 1/peroid = 1/1.6

f = 0.625 Hz

potential energy is directly proportional to height.

more height = more potential energy.

greatest increase in height = greatest increase in potential energy

where are the points with the greatest increase in height ?

has to be c-e or d-e .

another example of kinetic energy would be,

kinetic energy   >     moving energy

answer   >   letter choice (c),   a hammer falling off a table.
