Any motion that is regular and repeating is referred to as a periodic motion. most objects that vibrate do so in a regular and repeated fashion much like this spring seen here. according to newton's 1st law of motion,
a) the greater the mass of the spring, the greater the periodic motion.
b) the lower the mass of the spring, the faster the repeating motion occurs.
c) the periodic motion will continue forces acting on the spring are unbalanced.
d) there is an equal and opposite reaction force that slows down the periodic motion.

Option C

Explanation:

The spring undergoes periodic motion. From Newton's first law, a body keeps moving until an unbalanced external force acts on it. So, the spring would continue to vibrate regularly and in repeated fashion. In the absence of any dampening force, the spring continues to oscillate.

Thus, option C is correct.

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

we're given that v₀ = 0 and a = 5.4 m/s². therefore, since v = at + v₀ for constant acceleration the equation for velocity is

after 28s,

m/s

which i would round to 150 m/s as my final answer
