Calculate the gravitational potential energies of the melon and the pomegranate. Which one has potential energy

Pomegranate

Explanation:

The pomegranate has a potential energy of 282.4315 J, and the melon has 251.05 J

Hello! Here your answer

Force = 10.244 Newtons

b) No of oscillations = 0.88

Explanation:

Since the block executes SHM we can write it's position as function of time as

ω is the natural frequency of the system

A is the amplitude of the system

Thus accleration of the block

Thus using the given values at t= 3.50 sec we can calculate the acceleration as

thus force can be calculated using newtons second law as

b)

Now no of oscillations can be obtained as

no of oscillations in 3.50 seconds = 3.50/3.976 = 0.88
