What is total energy in the case of vibrating mass-spring system?
Wiki User

That would be the sum of kinetic energy (due to movement) and potential (elastic) energy (stored in the spring).

What is the thermal energy of system?
The total kinetic energy within a system
What is Thermal energy of a system?
The total kinetic energy within a system
Sum of kinetic energy and potential energy?
Total energy of a system.
Is elastic energy the total potential and kinetic energy in a system?
no
Total amount of energy in any closed isolated system remains what?
If it is a closed system, the total energy remains equal.
What happens during an energy transformation?
The total amount of energy stays the same.
Will the total energy of a vibrating body is conserved if friction occur?
Energy is always conserved. When friction is present, the energy usually just turns into heat.
What is the total energy of the a system?
The Total Energy of a system is E= Escalar + Evector = Es + Ev.The Total Energy is a Quaternion Energy, consisting of a Scalar/Potential Energy and a Vector Energy Ev= mcV.
What is the thermal energy of system?
The total kinetic energy within a system
What is Thermal energy of a system?
The total kinetic energy within a system
What energy is the total kinetic and potential energy in a system?
Mechanical energy
Sum of kinetic energy and potential energy?
Total energy of a system.
Is elastic energy the total potential and kinetic energy in a system?
no
What type of energy is sound energy?
The energy in a sound wave is both kinetic and potential.Just as in a vibrating spring, the medium has mass and moves and so moving mass is kinetic energy.Just as in the spring there is compression and rarefaction, so there is elastic potential energy.In fact, these two are equal, potential energy = kinetic energy, just like a spring.Just like in a vibrating spring, the total energy is constant and equal to the average kinetic energy plus the average potential energy.
How is it then that the total energy is not constant in an open system?
"Open system" means that energy may enter the system or escape from it.
Total amount of energy in any closed isolated system remains what?
If it is a closed system, the total energy remains equal.
Potential energy plus kinetic energy equal what?
Mechanical energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy in a closed system. The total mechanical energy is conserved.
