A light platform is suspended from the ceiling by a spring. A student with a mass of 90 kg climbs onto the platform. When it sto

ps bouncing and reaches its new equilibrium position (x=0), the student notices that the spring has stretched 0.82 m. The student's friend pulls the platform down 0.32 m further and then releases it at t=0. What is the amplitude of the motion of the student on the platform?

Refer to the diagram shown.

When the student climbs onto the platform, the spring stretches by 0.82 m to reach the equilibrium position.
The mass of the student is m = 90 kg, so his weight is
mg = (90 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 882 N

By definition, the spring constant is
k = (882 N)/(0.82 m) = 1075.6 N/m

When the spring is stretched by x from the equilibrium position, the restoring force is
F = - k*x.

If damping is ignored, the equation of motion is
F = m * acceleration
or
m \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} = -kx \\ \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} + \frac{k}{m} x = 0

Define ω² = k/m = 11.751 => ω = 3.457.
Then the solution of the ODE is
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt) + c₂ sin(ωt)

x'(t) = -c₁ω sin(ωwt) + c₂ω cos(ωt)
When t=0, x' =0, therefore c₂ = 0

The solution is of the form
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt)
When t = 0, x = 0.32 m. Therefore c₁ = 0.32

The motion is
x(t) = 0.32 cos(3.457t)
The single amplitude is 0.32 m, and the double amplitude is 0.64 m.

Answer: 
0.32 m (single amplitude), or
0.64 m (double amplitude)

You drive a car 1600 ft to the east, then 2500 ft to the north. The trip took 2.5 minutes. What was the magnitude of your averag
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Velocity=6.03m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Time t=2.5 minutes=150 seconds

Distance A=1600 ft=487.68 m........east

Distance B=2500 ft=762m ........north

To find

Average velocity

Solution

First we need to find the resultant distance magnitude.To find that we apply Pythagorean theorem to find hypotenuse

So

A^{2}+B^{2}=C^{2}\\  C=\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}}\\ C=\sqrt{(487.68m)^{2}+(762m)^{2}}\\ C=904.7m

Velocity=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\Velocity=\frac{904.7m}{150s}\\Velocity=6.03m/s

The charges are in a uniform electric field whose direction makes an angle 36.8 ∘ with the line connecting the charges. What is
astraxan [27]

Complete question:

Point charges q1=- 4.10nC and q2=+ 4.10nC are separated by a distance of 3.60mm , forming an electric dipole. The charges are in a uniform electric field whose direction makes an angle 36.8 ∘ with the line connecting the charges. What is the magnitude of this field if the torque exerted on the dipole has magnitude 7.30×10−9 N⋅m ? Express your answer in newtons per coulomb to three significant figures.

Answer:

The magnitude of this field is 826 N/C

Explanation:

Given;

The torque exerted on the dipole, T = 7.3 x 10⁻⁹ N.m

PEsinθ = T

where;

E is the magnitude of the electric field

P is the dipole moment

First, we determine the magnitude dipole moment;

Magnitude of dipole moment = q*r

P = 4.1 x 10⁻⁹ x 3.6 x 10⁻³ = 1.476 x 10⁻¹¹ C.m

Finally, we determine the magnitude of this field;

E = \frac{T}{P*sin(\theta)}=  \frac{7.3 X 10^{-9}}{1.476X10^{-11}*sin(36.8)}\\\\E = 825.6 N/C

E = 826 N/C (in three significant figures)

Therefore, the magnitude of this field is 826 N/C

Daltons theory was identified using
Margaret [11]
<h2>Answer with Explanation </h2>

Dalton’s theory can be classified by the following hypotheses:

1) All material was formed of particles, unbreakable and strong construction segments.

2) All particles of a given component are indistinguishable in volume and characteristics

3) Compounds are determined by a mixture of two or more distinct kinds of atoms.

4) Chemical responses appeared in the rearrangement of the reacting atoms.

This theory was to explain all matter in terms of atoms and their characteristics, the law of conservation of volume and the law of constant composition.
