Answer:

a) x(t) = e^(^-^2^t^)[ cos ( 4t ) + 0.75*sin ( 4t ) ]

b) x(t) = 1.25*e^(^-^a^t^)sin(4t + 0.64350)

c) t = ( 0.7957*k - 0.160875 )s  with k = 0, 1 , 2 , 3 , ....

Explanation:

Declaring variables:-

- The mass = m

- Positive damping constant = β

- Spring constant = k

- Gravitational constant, g = 32.2 ft/s^2

Given:-

- The attached initial weight, Wi = 10 lbs

- The attached second weight, Wf = 8 lbs

- Length of un-extended spring, Li = 5 ft

- The extended length, Lf = 7 ft

Find:-

(a) Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from a point foot below the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 1 ft/s.

(b) Express the equation of motion in the form given in (23)

(c) Find the times at which the mass passes through the equilibrium position heading dow

Solution:-

- We will first evaluate the constants m , k and β using conditions given:

                         m = Wf / g

                         m = 8 / 32 = 0.25 slugs.

- We will use the equilibrium condition in (vertical direction) on the spring when the weight of Wi = 10 lbs was attached onto the spring. The spring restoring force (Fs) acts up while weight attached combats it by pointing downward.

                         Fs - Wi = 0

- From Hooke's Law we have:

                         Fs = Wi = k*ΔL   .......  ΔL : Extension of spring

                         k = W / ΔL = W / ( Lf - Li )

                         k = 10 / ( 7 - 5 )

                         k = 5 lb/ft

- Since we have insufficient information about the damping constant of the medium we will assume it as unit. β = 1.

- Now, we will consider the dynamic motion of the spring attached with mass with weight Wf damped in a medium with constant β. We will use Newton's second equation of motion for the spring.

                        F_net = m*a

Where, F_net : Net force acting on the attached mass

            a : Acceleration of the block

- There are two forces acting on the spring ( Damping force - D and restoring force of spring (ks) ). We will consider a displacement of mass in vertical direction as (x).

                       - D - Fs = m*a

- Using hooke's law and damping force (D) is proportional to velocity of attached mass. We have:

                       - β*dx/dt - k*x = m*( d^2 x / dt^2)

 - Plug in the constants:

                          \frac{d^2x}{dt^2} + 4*\frac{dx}{dt} + 20*x = 0

- Now solve the derived ODE. The Auxiliary equation for the above ODE is:  

                         s^2 + 4s + 20 = 0              

- Solve the quadratic and evaluate roots.

                        s = -2 +/- 4i ....... (Complex Roots)

- The complementary solution (yc) for complex roots of the auxiliary is:

                        xc (t) = e^(^-^2^t^)[ A*cos ( 4t ) + B*sin ( 4t ) ]

- Use the given initial conditions and evaluate constants A and B :

                       x ( 0 ) = 1 ft , x ' (0) = 1 ft/s

                       xc (0) = e^(^0^)[ A*cos ( 0 ) + B*sin ( 0 ) ] = 1* [ A + 0 ] = 1\\\\A = 1\\\\xc'(t) = -2*e^(^-^2^t^)[ A*cos ( 4t ) + B*sin ( 4t ) ] + e^(^-^2^t^)[ -4A*sin ( 4t ) + 4B*cos ( 4t ) ]\\\\xc'(0) = -2*e^(^0^)[ cos ( 0 ) + B*sin ( 0 ) ] + e^(^0^)[ -4sin ( 0 ) + 4B*cos ( 0 ) ]\\\\ 1 = -2*[ 1 + 0 ] + 1*[ 0 + 4B]\\\\B = 3 / 4 = 0.75

- The complementary solution becomes:

                         xc (t) = e^(^-^2^t^)[ cos ( 4t ) + 0.75*sin ( 4t ) ]

- Since there is no excitation force acting on the system( Homogenous ). The particular solution does not exist and the general solution to equation of motion is:

                         x(t) = e^(^-^2^t^)[ cos ( 4t ) + 0.75*sin ( 4t ) ]

- An alternative form of the displacement (x) - Time (t) motion is:

                        x(t) = Pe^(^-^a^t^)sin(w_dt + theta)

Where,

                        P = √ ( A^2 + B^2)   .... Amplitude

                        theta (θ) = arctan ( B / A )

                        Auxiliary roots = ( a +/- bi) ..... a = -2 , b = 4  

                        wd = w*√ 1 - ρ^2 = w = b = 4 .......... (β = 1 => ρ = 0)

- Evaluate P and theta (θ):

                        P = √ ( 1^2 + 0.75^2) = 1.25 m

                        theta (θ) = arctan ( 3 / 4 ) = 0.64350 rads

- The alternative form of Equation (23) is:

                        x(t) = 1.25*e^(^-^a^t^)sin(4t + 0.64350)

c)

- To determine the range of times (t) when the mass passes the the equilibrium position can be evaluated by setting x(t) form (23) equal to 0.

                       x(t) = 1.25*e^(^-^a^t^)sin(4t + 0.64350) = 0\\\\e^(^-^a^t^) \neq 0 , sin(4t + 0.64350) = 0\\\\4t + 0.64350 = 0 , \pi , 2\pi , 3\pi = k\pi\ \ .......\ \ (k = 0, 1 , 2 , 3 , ...)\\\\t = \frac{k\pi - 0.64350}{4} = k*0.78571429 - 0.160875

- The domain for time (t) is as follows:

                       t = ( 0.7957*k - 0.160875 )s  with k = 0, 1 , 2 , 3 , ....

In electronics, the SI unit for current is Ampere. It is the amount of charge in Coulombs per unit time. It is named after the father of electrodynamics, Andre-Marie Ampere. Also, the current can be easily determined through the Ohm's Law, which states that current is equal to volts divided by the resistance. The answer is letter D.

(I) In a ballistic pendulum experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height h of the pendulum equal to 2.6 cm. A second pro
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

Explanation:

In the ballistic pendulum experiment, the speed (v) of the projectile is given by:  

v = \frac{m + M}{m} \cdot \sqrt{2gh}

<em>where m: is the mass of the projectile, M: is the mass of the pendulum, g: is the gravitational constant and h: is the maximum height of the pendulum.   </em>

To know how many times faster was the second projectile than the first, we need to take the ratio for the velocities for the projectiles 2 and 1:    

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\frac{m_{2} + M}{m_{2}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{2}}}{\frac{m_{1} + M}{m_{1}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{1}}}           (1)

<em>where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively, and h₁ and h₂ are the maximum height reached by the pendulum by the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively.  </em>

Since the projectile 1 has the same mass that the projectile 2, we can simplify equation (1):

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{h_{2}}}{\sqrt{h_{1}}}  

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{5.2 cm}}{\sqrt{2.6 cm}}

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = 1.41  

Therefore, the second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.  

I hope it helps you!

netineya [11]
This statement is false.
The correct statement would be,
"W<span>hen you approach an intersection and see a truck ahead signaling a right turn, you should stay behind the truck, away from the curbside, until the turn is completed."

Larger vehicles require a larger space to turn, being next to the truck and close to the curbside will only make it more difficult for the truck driver to complete the turn. This in turn will waste more time or even block traffic while the truck driver tries to complete the turn in the difficult situation that could have easily been avoided.</span>
