An oscillating bock-spring system has a mechanical energy of 1.0 J, an amplitude of 0.10 m, and a maximum speed of 1.2 m/s. Find (a) the force constant of the spring, (b) the mass, and (c) the frequency of oscillation.

Astone weighing 1.5 kilograms is resting on a rock at a height of 20 meters above the ground. the stone rolls down 10 meters and comes to rest on a patch of moss. the gravitational potential energy of the stone on the moss is joules.

Acommon technique in analysis of scientific data is normalization. the purpose of normalizing data is to eliminate irrelevant constants that can obscure the salient features of the data. the goal of this experiment is to test the hypothesis that the flux of light decreases as the square of the distance from the source. in this case, the absolute value of the voltage measured by the photometer is irrelevant; only the relative value conveys useful information. suppose that in part 2.2.2 of the experiment, students obtain a signal value of 162 mv at a distance of 4 cm and a value of 86 mv at a distance of 5.7 cm. normalize the students' data to the value obtained at 4 cm. (divide the signal value by 162.) then calculate the theoretically expected (normalized) value at 5.7 cm.

When a pendulum is held high and taut and then is released, the pendulum begins to swing. what’s the correct order of the energy transformations in this example? (pe stands for potential energy.)
