When you displace an object from its equilibrium position and the force pushing it back toward equilibrium is the resulting motion is simple harmonic motion.

(a) exponential
(b) linear
(c) sinusoidal

How many seconds does it take a pebble released from rest off a bridge to fall 29.4 m ? what is the pebble's speed when it has fallen 29.4 m ?

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?

Which best describes the difference between internal and thermal energy?
