Answer:
F = - k (x-xo) a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.
Explanation:
The student wants to prove hooke's law which has the form
F = - k (x-xo)
To do this we hang the spring in a vertical position and mark the equilibrium position on a tape measure, to simplify the calculations we can make this point zero by placing our reference system in this position.
Now for a series of known masses let's get them one by one and measure the spring elongation, building a table of weight vs elongation,
we must be careful when hanging the weights so as not to create oscillations in the spring
we look for the mass of each weight
W = mg
m = W / g
and we write them in a new column, we make a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation and it should give a straight line; the slope of this line is sought, which is the spring constant.
The fact of obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.
Answer:
a) x(t) = 10t + (2/3)*t^3
b) x*(0.1875) = 10.18 m
Explanation:
Note: The position of the horse is x = 2m. There is a typing error in the question. Otherwise, The solution to cubic equation holds a negative value of time t.
Given:
- v(t) = 10 + 2*t^2 (radar gun)
- x*(t) = 10 + 5t^2 + 3t^3 (our coordinate)
Find:
-The position x of horse as a function of time t in radar system.
-The position of the horse at x = 2m in our coordinate system
Solution:
- The position of horse according to radar gun:
v(t) = dx / dt = 10 + 2*t^2
- Separate variables:
dx = (10 + 2*t^2).dt
- Integrate over interval x = 0 @ t= 0
x(t) = 10t + (2/3)*t^3
- time @ x = 2 :
2 = 10t + (2/3)*t^3
0 = 10t + (2/3)*t^3 + 2
- solve for t:
t = 0.1875 s
- Evaluate x* at t = 0.1875 s
x*(0.1875) = 10 + 5(0.1875)^2 + 3(0.1875)^3
x*(0.1875) = 10.18 m
Answer:
When a tree is vigorously shaken, the branches of the tree come in motion but the leaves tend to continue in their state of rest due to inertia of rest. As a result of this, leaves get separated from the branches of the tree and hence fall down.
3 hours, because for every 50 km equals one hour 150 divided into 50 equals 3
