$$F_c = \frac{mv^2$}{r}$$

Question 16

A 0.5 kg mass attached to a spring oscillates with a period of 2 seconds. What is the spring constant $$k$$?

Question 17

Which of the following is a correct statement about energy conservation in a closed system?

Accepted Answer

The total energy of the system remains constant; energy can change forms but is neither created nor destroyed.

Question 18

A 3 kg object moving at 4 m/s collides inelastically with a 2 kg object at rest. What is their final velocity after the collision?
