A 0.20 kg mass on a horizontal spring is pulled back a certain distance and released. The maximum speed of the mass is measured to be 0.30 m/s. If, instead, a 0.40 kg mass were used in this same experiment, choose the correct value for the maximum speed. a. 0.40 m/s.
b. 0.20 m/s.
c. 0.28 m/s.
d. 0.14 m/s.
e. 0.10 m/s.

b. 0.20 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial mass, m = 0.2 kg

maximum speed,  v = 0.3 m/s

The total energy of the spring at the given maximum speed is calculated as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = 0.5 x 0.2 x 0.3²

K.E = 0.009 J

If the mass is changed to 0.4 kg

¹/₂mv² = K.E

mv² = 2K.E

Therefore, the maximum speed is 0.20 m/s

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!

blue light is scattered in different directions by the tiny molecules of air. blue is scattered more than other colours because it has a shorter distance to travel which results in smaller waves. this is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
