Answer:

A) Amplitude = 1.803 ft ; Period = π/2 s

B) Cycles in 6π s = 12 cycles

Explanation:

Let M be the mass attached and let K be the spring constant.

Applying Newton's second law to this system, we have;

m(d²x/dt²) = -kx²

When x(t) is the displacement from the equilibrium position, the equation can be given as;

d²x/dt² + (k/m)x = 0 - - - - - (eq1)

Let's find the mass.

W=mg

W = 32lb and g = 32 ft/s²

So, m = W/g = 32/32 = 1 lbft/s² = 1 slug

Let's find spring stiffness;

From Hooke's law, W = ks

s = 2 ft. Thus, k = W/s = 32/2 = 16 lb/ft

Now, putting the values of m and k into eq 1,we obtain;

d²x/dt² + (16/1)x = 0

d²x/dt² + 16x = 0

Now, we know that the solution of x" + ω²x = 0 is given as;

x(t) = C1 cosωt + C2 sinωt

By inspection, ω² = 16. Thus, ω = 4

So, the general solution is now;

x(t) = C1 cos4t + C2 sin4t

The initial conditions from the question are;

x(0) = -1 ft and x'(0) = -6 ft/s

At x(0) = -1

-1 = C1 cos 0 + C2 sin 0

-1 = C1

Now, at x'(0) = 6

x' = -4C1sin4t + 4C2cos4t

So,

6 = -4C1sin 0 + 4C2cos0

4C2 = - 6

C2 = -6/4 = -3/2

Thus, the equation of motion is;

x(t) = - cos4t - (3/2)sin4t

A) Amplitude is given as;

A = √(C1² + C2²) = √(-1² + (-3/2)²)

A = √(1 + 9/4) = √(13/4) = 1.803 ft

Period is given as;

T = 2π/ω = 2π/4 = π/2 s

B) Cycles it will complete in 6π;

= 6π/T = 6π/(π/2) = 12 cycles

Planets are not uniform inside. Normally, they are densest at the center and have decreasing density outward toward the surface.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

$g=13.42\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

1) Notation and info given

$\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}$ represent the density at the center of the planet

$\rho_{surface}=2100 \frac{kg}{m^3}$ represent the densisty at the surface of the planet

r represent the radius

$r_{earth}=6.371x10^{6}m$ represent the radius of the Earth

2) Solution to the problem

So we can use a model to describe the density as function of the radius

$r=0, \rho(0)=\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}$

$r=6.371x10^{6}m, \rho(6.371x10^{6}m)=\rho_{surface}=2100 \frac{kg}{m^3}$

So we can create a linear model in the for y=b+mx, where the intercept b= $\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}$ and the slope would be given by $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}-0}$

So then our linear model would be

$\rho (r)=\rho_{center}+\frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}}r$

Since the goal for the problem is find the gravitational acceleration we need to begin finding the total mass of the planet, and for this we can use a finite element and spherical coordinates. The volume for the differential element would be $dV=r^2 sin\theta d\phi d\theta dr$ .

And the total mass would be given by the following integral

$M=\int \rho (r) dV$

Replacing dV we have the following result:

$M=\int_{0}^{2\pi}d\phi \int_{0}^{\pi}sin\theta d\theta \int_{0}^{r_{earth}}(r^2 \rho_{center}+\frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}}r)$

We can solve the integrals one by one and the final result would be the following

$M=4\pi(\frac{r^3_{earth}\rho_{center}}{3}+\frac{r^4_{earth}}{4} \frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}})$

Simplyfind this last expression we have:

$M=\frac{4\pi\rho_{center}r^3_{earth}}{3}+\pi r^3_{earth}(\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center})$

$M=\pi r^3_{earth}(\frac{4}{3}\rho_{center}+\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center})$

$M=\pi r^3_{earth}[\rho_{surface}+\frac{1}{3}\rho_{center}]$

And replacing the values we got:

$M=\pi (6.371x10^{6}m)^2(\frac{1}{3}13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}+2100 \frac{kg}{m^3})=8.204x10^{24}kg$

And now that for any shape the gravitational acceleration is given by:

$g=\frac{MG}{r^2_{earth}}=\frac{(6.67408x10^{-11}\frac{m^3}{kgs^2})*8.204x10^{24}kg}{(6371000m)^2}=13.48\frac{m}{s^2}$

A girl on a skateboard going around a corner at a speed of 3 m/sec.

When going round a corner your direction changes which means your velocity changes which means there is an acceleration.

At the same moment, one rock is dropped and one is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 29m/s from the top of a building

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The thrown rock strike 2.42 seconds earlier.

Explanation:

This is an uniformly accelerated motion problem, so in order to find the arrival time we will use the following formula:

$x=vo*t+\frac{1}{2} a*t^2\\where\\x=distance\\vo=initial velocity\\a=acceleration$

So now we have an equation and unkown value.

for the thrown rock

$\frac{1}{2}(9.8)*t^2+29*t-300=0$

for the dropped rock

$\frac{1}{2}(9.8)*t^2+0*t-300=0$

solving both equation with the quadratic formula:

$\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4*a*c} }{2*a}$

we have:

the thrown rock arrives on t=5.4 sec

the dropped rock arrives on t=7.82 sec

so the thrown rock arrives 2.42 seconds earlier (7.82-5.4=2.42)

28. Which of the following correctly shows the order of highest amount of friction to the lowest amount of

Bad White [126]

Answer:

$\mathrm{d.\:Static,\: Sliding,\:Rolling}$

Explanation:

Static friction occurs when an object initially starts at rest. When the surfaces of the materials touch, the microscopic unevenness interlock greatest with each other, causing the most friction out of the three.

During sliding friction, an object is already moving or in motion. The microscopic surfaces still interlock, but because the object is in motion, it has a momentum. Therefore, the magnitude of sliding friction is less than that of static friction.

Rolling friction occurs when an object rolls across some surface. Rather than surfaces interlocking, rolling friction is caused by the constant distortion of surfaces. As it rolls, the surfaces of the object are constantly wrapping and changing. This distortion causes the rolling friction. However, it is much less in magnitude when compared to static or sliding friction.

Which is the best example of potential energy?

svetoff [14.1K]

First one, holding a basketball in the air. Potential energy is the energy it has mostly from gravity. The further you go from the center of mass, the more energy.
