Answer:

9 cm.

Explanation:

The energy used for stretch the spring from 15 cm to 21 cm will be , E_{1}=27J

The energy used for stretch the spring from 21 cm to 27 cm will be , E_{2}=45J

using the energy of spring formula ,we find that

27 = \frac{1}{2}K((21-L^{2})-(15-L^{2}))

45 = \frac{1}{2}K((27-L^{2})-(21-L^{2}))

Dividing both the equation will get,

\frac{3}{5}=\frac{(21-L)^{2}-(15-L)^{2}}{(27-L)^{2}-(21-L)^{2}}\\5((21-L)^{2}-(15-L)^{2})=3((27-L)^{2}-(21-L)^{2})\\3(729 - 54L + L^{2}- 441 + 42L - L^{2} ) = 5(441 - 42L + L^{2} - 225 + 30L - L^{2} )\\3(288 - 12L) = 5(216 - 12L)\\24L = 216\\L = 9 cm

Therefore, the natural length of the spring is, 9 cm.

A force of 9 pounds stretches a spring 1 foot. A mass weighing 6.4 pounds is attached to the spring, and the system is then imme
mart [117]

Answer:

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

Explanation:

let m be the mass attached, let k be the spring constant and let \beta be the positive damping constant.

-By Newton's second law:

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

where x(t) is the displacement from equilibrium position. The equation can be transformed into:

\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{\beta}{m}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{k}{m}x=0  shich is the equation of motion.

ruslelena [56]
The right answer to this question is A. a crest that is toppling over. When a surfer rides an ocean wave on her surfboard, she is actually riding on a crest. The crest is the point on a wave with the maximum value or upward displacement within a cycle.
