Suppose that in the simple harmonic oscillator experiment you obtained a period of 3.3 seconds for your system. You now increase the mass of the oscillating object 3.5 times and replace the springs so that your new effective spring constant is 5.5 times greater. What’s the new value for the period of the system?

Which best describes the first law of thermodynamics as compared to the second law of thermodynamics? a. the first law describes how thermal energy is conserved but not the direction it moves. b. the first law describes the direction thermal energy moves but not how it is conserved. c. the first law describes how thermal energy can be created but not how it can be destroyed. d. the first law describes how thermal energy can be destroyed but not how it can be created.

This chart shows characteristics of three different types of waves. which statement is best supported by the information in the chart? wave x and wave y are mechanical waves, and wave z is an electromagnetic wave. wave x and wave y are electromagnetic waves, and wave z is a mechanical wave. wave x and wave z are electromagnetic waves, and wave y is a mechanical wave. wave x and wave z are mechanical waves, and wave y is an electromagnetic wave.

The first law of thermodynamics states that heat added to a system is neither created nor destroyed but is as it changes into other forms of energy.
