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

the answer is c: kilogram

explanation:  The standard International System of Units (SI) unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). The kilogram is 1000 grams (g), first defined in 1795 as one cubic decimeter of water at the melting point of ice.

A professional racecar driver buys a car that can accelerate at 5.9 m/s2. The racer decides to race against another driver in a
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

(a) Time will be t = 3.56 sec

(b) Distance traveled by car when they are side by side is 37.38712 m

(b) Velocity of race car = 21.004 m/sec

velocity of stock car = 12.816 m/sec            

Explanation:

We have given acceleration of the car a_1=5.9m/sec^2

Acceleration of the stock car a_2=3.6m/sec^2

When 1st car overtakes the second car then distance traveled by both the car will be same

(a) So s_1=s_2

As both car starts from rest so initial velocity of both car will be 0 m/sec

It is given that stock car leaves 1 sec before

So \frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times t^2=\frac{1}{2}\times (t+1)^2\times 3.6

After solving t = 3.56 sec

(b) From second equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3.56+\frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times 3.56^2=37.38712m

(c) From first equation pf motion v = u+at

So velocity of race car v = 0+5.9×3.56 = 21.004 m/sec

Velocity of stock car v = 0+ 3.6×3.56 = 12.816 m/sec

Karla Ayala pulls a sled on an icy road (dangerous!). Because of Karla's pull, the tension force is 151 N, and the rope makes a
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

W = 1418.9 J = 1.418 KJ

Explanation:

In order to find the work done by the pull force applied by Karla, we need to can use the formula of work done. This formula tells us that work done on a body is the product of the distance covered by the object with the component of force applied in the direction of that displacement:

W = F.d

W = Fd Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done = ?

F = Force = 151 N

d = distance covered = 10 m

θ = Angle with horizontal = 20°

Therefore,

W = (151 N)(10 m) Cos 20°

<u>W = 1418.9 J = 1.418 KJ</u>
