(d)

Answer to Problem 61P
All three energies of the spring approaches zero.
Explanation of Solution
When the frictional forces are included, the system is no more conservative and it is called a non-conservative system. The energy of the system is not conserved.
If the horizontal surface is not considered as frictionless, then the surface resists the oscillatory motion of the spring and thereby reducing its kinetic energy. A part of the kinetic energy is lost in the form of heat and consequently the all three energy of the system reduces to zero.

- Four capacitors are connected as shown in the figure below. (Let C = 12.0 µF.) A circuit consists of four capacitors. It begins at point a before the wire splits in two directions. On the upper split, there is a capacitor C followed by a 3.00 µF capacitor. On the lower split, there is a 6.00 µF capacitor. The two splits reconnect and are followed by a 20.0 µF capacitor, which is then followed by point b.
