The rock has potential energy due to the gravitational potential with the Earth. As the rock is falling, this gravitational energy becomes less. What happens to that energy? Question 11 options: The energy disappears. The energy is transformed into kinetic energy. The energy is absorbed by the ground and the air The energy is transformed into chemical potential energy.

Industrial processes often require the damping of vibrations. consider a workbench that uses four large ideal springs in place of traditional legs, with each spring supporting one corner of the workbench and exhibiting a force constant of 47500 n/m. this workbench is used when creating products that involve highly unstable chemicals. according to specifications, the acceleration of the manufacturing equipment must be held to less than 22.3 m/s2 for the manufacturing process to proceed safely. the amplitude of vibrations are expected to remain under 0.622 mm throughout. given that the workbench and maufacturing equipment combine to 6.05 kg, find the maximum acceleration expected of the equipment and workbench. (ignore the mass of the springs.)
