The north and west components of this displacement are 9.19 km and -7.71 km respectively.

<h3>North component of the displacement</h3>

The north component of the displacement is calculated as follows;

Dy = D sinθ

Dy = 12 km x sin50

Dy = 9.19 km

<h3>West component of the displacement</h3>

Dx = D x cosθ

Dx = - 12 km x cos(50)

Dx = -7.71 km

2 ways in which the effects of friction can be minimised in the experiment

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Friction can be minimized by using lubricants like oil and grease and by using ball bearing between machine parts. A substance that is introduced between two surfaces in contact, to reduce friction, is called a lubricant. Fluid friction can be minimized by giving suitable shapes to the objects moving in the fluids.

mass weighing 16 pounds stretches a spring 8 3 feet. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 2 feet below the equi

valina [46]

Answer:

The answer is

" $x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2}((\frac{-4}{3})\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t- \frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141} \sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}(\cos(3t)+ \sin (3t))$ ".

Explanation:

Taking into consideration a volume weight = 16 pounds originally extends a springs $\frac{8}{3}$ feet but is extracted to resting at 2 feet beneath balance position.

The mass value is =

$W=mg\\m=\frac{w}{g}\\m=\frac{16}{32}\\m= \frac{1}{2} slug\\$

The source of the hooks law is stable,

$16= \frac{8}{3} k \\\\8k=16 \times 3 \\\\k=16\times \frac{3}{8} \\\\k=6 \frac{lb}{ft}\\\\$

Number $\frac{1}{2}$ times the immediate speed, i.e .. Damping force

$\frac{1}{2} \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} = -6x-\frac{1}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}+10 \cos 3t \\\\\frac{1}{2} \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2}+ \frac{1}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}+6x =10 \cos 3t \\ \\\frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} +\frac{dx}{dt}+12x=20\cos 3t \\\\$

The m^2+m+12=0 and m is an auxiliary equation,

$m=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1-4(12)}}{2}\\\\m=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{47i}}{2}\\\\\ m1= \frac{-1 + \sqrt{47i}}{2} \ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ \ m2 =\frac{-1 - \sqrt{47i}}{2}$

Therefore, additional feature

$x_c (t) = e^{\frac{-t}{2}}[C_1 \cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t+ C_2 \sin \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t]$

Use the form of uncertain coefficients to find a particular solution.

Assume that solution equation,

$x_p = Acos(3t)+B sin(3t) \\x_p'= -3A sin (3t) + 3B cos (3t)\\x_p}^{n= -9 Acos(3t) -9B sin (3t)\\$

These values are replaced by equation ( 1):

$\frac{d^2x}{dt}+\frac{dx}{dt}+ 12x=20 \cos(3t) -9 Acos(3t) -9B sin (3t) -3Asin(3t)+3B cos (3t) + 12A cos (3t) + 12B sin (3t)\\\\3Acos 3t + 3B sin 3t - 3Asin 3t + 3B cos 3t= 20cos(3t)\\(3A+3B)cos3t -(3A-3B)sin3t = 20 cos (3t)\\$

Going to compare cos3 t and sin 3 t coefficients from both sides,

The cost3 t is 3A + 3B= 20 coefficients

The sin 3 t is 3B -3A = 0 coefficient

The two equations solved:

$3A+3B = 20 \\\frac{3B -3A=0}{}\\6B=20\\B= \frac{20}{6}\\B=\frac{10}{3}\\$

Replace the very first equation with the meaning,

$3B -3A=O\\3(\frac{10}{3})-3A =0\\A= \frac{10}{3}\\$

equation is

$x_p\\\\\frac{10}{3} cos (3 t) + \frac{10}{3} sin (3t)$

The ultimate plan for both the equation is therefore

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} (c_1 cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}\cos (3t)+\frac{10}{3}\sin (3t)$

Initially, the volume of rest x(0)=2 and x'(0) is extracted by rest i.e.

Throughout the general solution, replace initial state x(0) = 2,

Replace x'(0)=0 with a general solution in the initial condition,

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} [(c_1 cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}\cos (3t)+\frac{10}{3}\sin (3t)]\\\\$

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} [(-\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}c_1\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+ (\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}c_2\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t) +c_1\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t +c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t + \frac{-1}{2}e^{\frac{-t}{2}} -10 sin(3t)+10 cos(3t) \\\\$

$c_2=\frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141}$

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2}((\frac{-4}{3})\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t- \frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141} \sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}(\cos(3t)+ \sin (3t))$

Ball A Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 50 m/s Ball B Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 80 m/s Ball C Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 25 m/s Which ball has

charle [14.2K]

Definition formula for momentum: P = mv

So P(A) = 0.45 * 50 = 22.5 kgm/s

P(B) = 0.45 * 80 = 36 kgm/s

P(C) = 0.45 * 25 = 11.25 kgm/s

B has the greatest momentum
