Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
1. A child is on a playground swing, motionless at the highest point of his arc. What energy transformation takes place as he swings back down to the lowest point of his motion?
**Options:**
A. \( K \rightarrow U_g \)
B. \( U_g \rightarrow K \)
C. \( E_{th} \rightarrow K \)
D. \( U_g \rightarrow E_{th} \)
E. \( K \rightarrow E_{th} \)
**Explanation:**
This question explores the concept of energy transformation. When the swing is at its highest point, all the energy is gravitational potential energy (\( U_g \)). As the swing moves downward to the lowest point, the energy transforms into kinetic energy (\( K \)). The correct answer is option B: \( U_g \rightarrow K \).

QUESTION When stretching springs, does half the displacement require half as much work? (Select all that apply.) U > Yes, because the work is equal to the force times the distance. Yes, because the spring exerts a constant force. Yes, because half the displacement means the force from the spring is half as large. No, because the spring does not exert a constant force. No, because the force of the spring is proportional to x. No, because the force exerted by the spring is proportional to x². X Consider the expression for the work done by an applied force.
