(a) 4A

In a simple harmonic motion:

- The amplitude (A) is the maximum displacement of the system, measured with respect to the equilibrium position

- The period (T) is the time needed for one complete oscillation, so for instance is the time the system needs to go from position x=+A back to x=+A again

Therefore, we have that in one time period (1T) the distance covered is 4A. In fact, during one period (1T), the system:

- Goes from x=+A to x=0 (equilibrium position) --> distance covered: A

- Goes from x=0 to x=-A --> distance covered: A

- Goes from x=-A to x=0 (equilibrium position) --> distance covered: A

- Goes from x=0 to x=+A --> distance covered: A

So, in total, 4A.

(b) 20A

Since the system moves through a distance of 4A in a time interval of 1T, we can set a proportion to see what is the distance covered in the time 5.00 T:

Solving for d, we find

So, the distance covered in the time 5.00 T is 20 A.

(c) 0.5 T

Since the system moves through a distance of 4A in a time interval of 1T, we can set a proportion to see the time t that the system needs to move through a total distance of 2A:

Solving for t, we find

So, the time needed for the system to move through a total distance of 2A is 0.5T (half period).

(d) 7/4 T

As before, since the system moves through a distance of 4A in a time interval of 1T, we can set a proportion to see the time t that the system needs to move through a total distance of 7A:

Solving for t, we find

So, the time needed for the system to move through a total distance of 2A is 7/4 T

(e) 8/5 D

In a time of , the distance covered is 16D.

We also now that the distance covered in 1T is 4A.

So we can find the distance covered in a time of in terms of A:

And we know that this distance must correspond to 16D, so we can find a relationship between A and D:

thermal energy is the answer

the ima (higher than 1m) will be greater than the ima with the height of 1m.
