An object on the end of a spring with spring constant k moves in simple harmonic motion with amplitude A and frequency f. Which of the following is a possible expression for the kinetic energy of the object as a function of time t? a. kA^2sin^(2πft)
b. 1/2kA^2cos^2(2πft)
c. 1/2kA sin(2πft)
d. kAcos(2πft)
e. 1/2kAsin(2πft)

The expression for the kinetic energy of the object as a function of time, t is .

The general wave equation is given as;

Apply the principle of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy of a particle in such motion is given as;

Substitute the value of x into the kinetic energy equation

Thus, the expression for the kinetic energy of the object as a function of time, t is .

option b.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a spring with constant K is calculated as:

kinetic energy = (k/2)*x^2

Where x^2 is the displacement of the spring with respect to it's rest position.

This can be written as a function like:

x = A*cos(2*pi*f*t)

where:

A is the amplitude (the maximum distance that the spring can move in each direction)

f is the frequency (and 2*pi*f is the angular frequency)

and t is the variable, it represents the time.

Replacing this in the kinetic energy equation, we get:

kinetic energy = (k/2)*(A*cos(2*pi*f*t))^2

This is the same as the option b: b. 1/2kA^2cos^2(2πft)

Then the corrrect option is b.

a) are muscles that have bands.

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!
