A spring with a mass of 1 kg has a spring constant 41 kg/s2. If the spring begins at equilibrium position and is given a velocity of 5 m/s, find the damping constant that would produce critical damping.

Solar cell a produces 100 joules of energy, when a light source is shown on it for 3 minutes. solar cell b produces 200 joules of energy when the same light source is shown on it for 5 minutes. which solar cell works better? a) solar cell b, because it produces more energy. b) solar cell b, because it generates more power. c) solar cell a, because it produces energy quicker. d) solar cell a, because it generates a greater wattage. eliminate

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j.b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

The diagram shows a boulder rolling down a hill into a valley and then up the opposite hill. at which position does the boulder have the greatest kinetic energy? a b c d
