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 , ....

How did cyanobacteria affect early Earth’s biosphere? Select all that apply. Cyanobacteria allowed organisms that rely on oxygen
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The correct statements would be

  • Cyanobacteria allowed organisms that rely on oxygen to evolve.
  • Cyanobacteria preceded the first photosynthetic organisms.
  • Cyanobacteria produced excess oxygen.

Cyanobacteria, also termed as blue-green algae are the prokaryotes which are able to perform photosynthesis.

They were the major contributors of oxygen in the atmosphere and thus helped the organisms that rely on oxygen to evolve.

By the process of endosymbiosis, they lead to the origin of plants. The chloroplasts present in green plants is considered as the cyanobacteria living in the plant cell. It helps in photosynthesis and in return plants cell provides shelter to it.

It is believed that the oxygen released from early cyanobacteria reacted with dissolved iron ions to form iron oxide.

What is the economical application of change of state of matter
kogti [31]

Answer:

Changes of state are physical changes in matter. They are reversible changes that do not change matter's chemical makeup or chemical properties. For example, when fog changes to water vapor, it is still water and can change back to liquid water again.

I need help getting started with number 8.
ratelena [41]

In #8, the distance and the (magnitude of displacement) are equal, because he crawled in a straight line.

Displacement = (straight-line distance from start-point to end-point) in the direction from start to end, regardless of what route was actually followed.

Displacement = 5m, in the negative direction.

In #9 . . . distance will be the same.  Displacement is going to be the same magnitude, but in the positive direction.

This is so simple that it's hard to talk about.  

In #8, "What was the bug's distance ?". "Distance was 5 meters.".  "What was the bug's displacement ?", "Displacement was 5 meters backwards."

In #9, What was the bug's distance ?". "Distance was 5 meters.".  "What was the bug's displacement ?", "Displacement was 5 meters forward."
