Answer:

Upward: Negative

Downward: Positve

Explanation:

Let upward be positive

We want to find the work done on the object upwards.

The equation of work done due to gravity is

$f _{g}d \cos( \alpha )$

It is read as force of gravity times displacement times cos of the angle between the force and displacement.

Since gravity is happening down of the center of mass and the displacement is upwards, the angle is 180° so

$f_{g}d \cos(180)$

Cosine of 180 is -1

so

$- f_{g}d$

If we go downwards, the sign will be positive because cos(0)=1

Most reactive non-metals in order?

kompoz [17]

Nonmetals often share or gain electrons. The nonmetals in the periodic table increases as you move to the right and decreases as you go down. This is because, the smaller the atom, the reactive it gets due to less electron attached to the orbits of the atom. The reactivity of nonmetals is arranged in decreasing order. <span>

A uniform plank 8.00 m in length with mass 50.0 kg is supported at two points located 1.00 m and 5.00 m, respectively, from the

andreev551 [17]

To solve the problem it is necessary to use Newton's second law and statistical equilibrium equations.

According to Newton's second law we have to

$F = mg$

where,

m= mass

g = gravitational acceleration

For the balance to break, there must be a mass M located at the right end.

We will define the mass m as the mass of the body, located in an equidistant center of the corners equal to 4m.

In this way, applying the static equilibrium equations, we have to sum up torques at point B,

$\sum \tau = 0$

Regarding the forces we have,

$3Mg-1mg=0$

Re-arrange to find M,

$M = \frac{m}{3}$

$M = \frac{50}{3}$

$M = 16.67Kg$

Therefore the maximum additional mass you could place on the right hand end of the plank and have the plank still be at rest is 16.67Kg

Elodia [21]

Answer:

The motion is over-damped when λ^2 - w^2 > 0 or when $b^{2}$ > 0.86

The motion is critically when λ^2 - w^2 = 0 or when $b^{2}$ = 0.86

The motion is under-damped when λ^2 - w^2 < 0 or when $b^{2}$ < 0.86

Explanation:

Using the newton second law

k is the spring constante

b positive damping constant

m mass attached

$m\frac{d^{2} x}{dt^{2}} = - kx - b\frac{dx}{dt}$

x(t) is the displacement from the equilibrium position

$\frac{d^{2} x}{dt^{2}} +\frac{b}{m}\frac{dx}{dt} + \frac{k}{m}x = 0$

Converting units of weights in units of mass (equation of motion)

$m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{14}{32} = 0.43 slug$

From hook's law we can calculate the spring constant k

$k = \frac{W}{s} = \frac{14}{2} = 7 lb/ft$

If we put m and k into the DE, we get

$\frac{d^{2} x}{dt^{2}} +\frac{b}{0.43}\frac{dx}{dt} + 16.28x = 0$

Denoting the constants

2λ = $\frac{b}{m}$ = $\frac{b}{0.43}$

λ = b/0.215

$w^{2} = \frac{k}{m} = 16.28$

λ^2 - w^2 = $\frac{b^{2} }{0.046} - 16.28$

This way,

The motion is over-damped when λ^2 - w^2 > 0 or when $b^{2}$ > 0.86

The motion is critically when λ^2 - w^2 = 0 or when $b^{2}$ = 0.86

The motion is under-damped when λ^2 - w^2 < 0 or when $b^{2}$ < 0.86
