Answer:

T = 2.82π s

x = Acos(0.71t)

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the expressions

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }    ( 1 )

x=Acos(\omega t) = Acos(\frac{2\pi }{T}t )   ( 2 )

where T is the period of oscillation of the system, m is the mass of the object attached to the spring, k is the spring constant and x is the position of the object.

By replacing in the expression (1):

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{16 lb}{8lb/ft}} = 2.82\pi s

Taking 6 inches as the amplitude of the motion, we have

x=6cos(\frac{2\pi }{2.82\pi }t ) = 6cos(0.71t)

I hope this is useful for you

Regards

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material one degree is
charle [14.2K]
The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material to one degree is called D. its heat capacity.

The relationship of the heat when applied to the object and the change in temperature of the object when heat is being applied is directly proportional to each other. This means that when heat is applied to the object, the temperature of the object increases and when heat is not applied to the object, the temperature of the object decreases.

A circular loop of wire of cross-sectional area 0.12 m2 consists of 200 turns, each carrying 0.50 A. It is placed in a magnetic
defon

Answer:

0.52 Nm

Explanation:

A = 0.12 m^2, N = 200, i = 0.5 A, B = 0.050 T

Angle between the plane of loop and magnetic field = 30 Degree

Angle between the normal of loop and the magnetic field = 90 - 30 = 60 degree

θ = 60°

Torque = N i A B Sinθ

Torque = 200 x 0.5 x 0.12 x 0.050 x Sin 60

Torque = 0.52 Nm

During a particular thunderstorm, the electric potential difference between a cloud and the ground is vcloud - vground = 3.50 10
wariber [46]
<span>The change in the electron's potential energy is equal to the work done on the electron by the electric field. The electron's potential energy is the stored energy relative to the electron's position in the electric field. Vcloud - Vground represents the change in Voltage. This voltage quantity is given to be 3.50 x 10^8 V, with the electron at the lower potential. The formula for calculating the change in the electron's potential energy (EPE) is found by charge x (Vcloud - Vground) = (EPEcloud - EPE ground) where charge is constant = 1.6 x 10^-19. Filling in the known quantities results in the expression 1.6 x 10^-19 (3.50 x 10^8) = (EPEcloud - EPEground) = 5.6 x 10^-11. Therefore, the change in the electron's potential energy from cloud to ground is 5.6 x 10^-11 joules.</span>

how to A golf ball of mass 0.045 kg is hit off the tee at a speed of 45 m/s. The golf club was in contact with the ball for 3.5
Alexandra [31]

Answer: a) 12857.1 m/s/s b) 578.6 N

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = mV2 - mV1

V = AT, 45 / .0035 = 12857.1 m/s/s

(b) .045 x 12857.1 = 578.6 N
