Answer:
x(t) = - 6 cos 2t
Explanation:
Force of spring = - kx
k= spring constant
x= distance traveled by compressing
But force = mass × acceleration
==> Force = m × d²x/dt²
===> md²x/dt² = -kx
==> md²x/dt² + kx=0 ------------------------(1)
Now Again, by Hook's law
Force = -kx
==> 960=-k × 400
==> -k =960 /4 =240 N/m
ignoring -ve sign k= 240 N/m
Put given data in eq (1)
We get
60d²x/dt² + 240x=0
==> d²x/dt² + 4x=0
General solution for this differential eq is;
x(t) = A cos 2t + B sin 2t ------------------------(2)
Now initially
position of mass spring
at time = 0 sec
x (0) = 0 m
initial velocity v= = dx/dt= 6m/s
from (2) we have;
dx/dt= -2Asin 2t +2B cost 2t = v(t) --- (3)
put t =0 and dx/dt = v(0) = -6 we get;
-2A sin 2(0)+2Bcos(0) =-6
==> 2B = -6
B= -3
Putting B = 3 in eq (2) and ignoring first term (because it is not possible to find value of A with given initial conditions) - we get
x(t) = - 6 cos 2t
==>
Answer:
The car must be moving away from the person.
Explanation:
From Doppler's Effect, we know that when a sound source moves towards a stationary observer, the apparent frequency of that sound increases. While the apparent frequency decreases if the source moves away from the stationary observer.
The audible range of frequencies for a human ear is 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. Therefore, in order for the sound of a loud speaker to be audible for the person, the frequency must decrease below 20000 Hz.
<u>Due to this reason, the car must be moving away from the person.</u>
A testing instrument that's used to measure electrical signals
in a circuit and display them as waveforms on a screen is called
an oscilloscope.
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can be transformed from one form of energy to another, but the energy in an isolated system remains constant.
The answer then would be letter B. False.
