Answer:

Work occurs when a force acts on an object and causes a displacement of that object.

Explanation:

a . Force applying over a distance or in other words force causing the movement (displacement) of an object is known as Work.

b. An activity with mental or physical effort is done in order to achieve a result is called work.

c. A constant force integrates the product of the force and distance.

Ex : 1) when the body moves in the direction of force

2) shooting a bullet

3) Pushing a car horizontally from rest

4)walking up stairs

5) sawing a log.

Answer:

Work occurs when a force acts on an object and causes a displacement of that object.

Explanation:

If F is the force applied to an object and d is the displacement caused due to this force, then the amount of work done by it is given by :

W = F × d

Where

F is the force applied

d is the displacement

Work done also depends on the angle between force and the displacement. So, the correct option is "Work occurs when a force acts on an object and causes a displacement of that object".

A mass of 1 slug, when attached to a spring, stretches it 2 feet and then comes to rest in the equilibrium position. Starting at

Vesna [10]

Answer:

$Y=(\dfrac{3}{16}+t \dfrac{3}{8})e^{-2t}-\dfrac{3}{16}cos 4t$

Explanation:

Given that m= 1 slug and given that spring stretches by 2 feet so we can find the spring constant K

mg=k x

1 x 32= k x 2

K=16

And also give that damping force is 8 times the velocity so damping constant C=8.

We know that equation for spring mass system

my''+Cy'+Ky=F

Now by putting the values

1 y"+8 y'+ 16y=6 cos 4 t ----(1)

The general solution of equation Y=CF+IP

Lets assume that at steady state the equation of y will be

y(IP)=A cos 4t+ B sin 4t

To find the constant A and B we have to compare this equation with equation 1.

Now find y' and y" (by differentiate with respect to t)

y'= -4A sin 4t+4B cos 4t

y"=-16A cos 4t-16B sin 4t

Now put the values of y" , y' and y in equation 1

1 (-16A cos 4t-16B sin 4t)+8( -4A sin 4t+4B cos 4t)+16(A cos 4t+ B sin 4t)=6sin4 t

So by comparing the coefficient both sides

-16A+32B+16A=0 So B=0

-16 B-32 A+16B=6 So A=-3/16

y=-3/16 cos 4t

Now to find the CF of differential equation 1

y"+8 y'+ 16y=6 cos 4 t

Homogeneous version of above equation

$m^2+8m+16=0$

So $CF =(C_1+tC_2)e^{-2t}$

So the general equation

$Y=(C_1+tC_2)e^{-2t}-3/16 cos 4t$

Given that t=0 Y=0 So

$C_1=\dfrac{3}{16}$

t=0 Y'=0 So

$C_2 =\dfrac{3}{8}$

$Y=(\dfrac{3}{16}+t \dfrac{3}{8})e^{-2t}-\dfrac{3}{16}cos 4t$

The above equation is the general equation for motion.

A baseball travels 200 metes in 6 seconds, what is the baseball’s velocity?

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

33.33 m/sec

Explanation:

A baseball travels 200 metes in 6 seconds,

what is the baseball’s velocity?

use the formula: velocity = distance over time

where (d) distance = 200 m

and (t) time = 6 sec.

plugin values into the formula:

v = d / t

= 200 m / 6 sec

= 33.33 m/sec.

therefore, the baseball's velocity is 33.33 m/sec
