An object of mass m is placed on Spring A, which is compressed by distance x. The spring is released and the velocity of the pushed object as it leaves the spring is measured. The experiment is repeated with the same object on Spring B, which is compressed by the same distance x. The object travels faster when pushed by Spring B. What can be concluded? A .Spring A had a higher elastic potential energy than Spring B.
B. Spring A's spring constant is higher than Spring B's.
C. Spring A's spring constant is lower than Spring B's.
D. Spring A has more mass than Spring B.

20. threshold braking in the vehicle's braking system occurs when a. the brake pedal is pushed, heel on floorboard, with full foot pressure. b. the brakes are exerting full braking power, without traction loss. c. the driver begins pushing down the brake pedal, with moderate slowdown. d. the brakes just begin to take hold with a gradual slowdown.

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. each step is of uniform height . the mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass : object 1 has mass 4..00m , object 2 has mass 1..96m , and object 3 has mass . when the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. if the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables , , and , where is the acceleration due to gravity. enter only the numerical coefficient. (example: if the answer is 1..23mgd , just enter 1.23)
