An object is attached to a hanging unstretched ideal and massless spring and slowly lowered to its equilibrium position, a distance of 3.0 cm below the starting point. if instead of having been lowered slowly the object was dropped from rest, how far then would it then stretch the spring at maximum elongation?

x = 0.06 m =  6 cm

Explanation:

extension (x) = 3 cm = 0.03 m

force = mg = kx

k (spring constant) = mg / x = mg / 0.03

loss in potential energy = gain in potential energy

mgx = o.5k

mg = 0.5kx

x = mg / 0.5k

recall that k = mg / 0.03

therefore

x =

x = mg x

x =

x = 0.06 m =  6 cm

here are some information of the future of geothermal energy:

-the future of geothermal energy can pretty much be summed up with a single word: more

-scientists plan in going deeper than 120 meters

-we are hoping that one day, we will get all of our energy from renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy

hope this !

the minimum amperage that the current in this wire would have to have so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to earth's field, assuming that no other forces except gravity act on it
