Answer:

Explanation:

When all other forces acting on the mass in a damped mass-spring system are grouped together into one term denoted by F(t), the differential equation describing

motion is

Mx''+ βx' + kx = F(t).

Note for an undamped system

β=0,

Then, the differential equation becomes

Mx'' + kx = F(t).

The force is in the form

F=Fo•Sinωo•t

Let solved for the homogeneous or complementary solution, I.e f(t) = 0

Using D operator

MD² + k = 0

MD²=-k

D²=-k/M

Then, D= ±√(-k/m)

D=±√(k/m) •i

So we have a complex root

Therefore, the solution is

x= C1•Cos[√(k/m)t] + C2•Sin[√(k/m)]

This is simple harmonic motion that once again we prefer to write in the form

x(t) = A•Sin[ √(k/M)t + φ]

Where A=√(C1²+C2²)

and angle φ is defined by the equations

sin φ = C1/A and cos φ = C2/A.

Quantity √(k/M), often denoted by ω, is called the angular frequency.

This is called the natural frequency (ωn) of the system

ωn=√(k/M)

ωn²= k/M

Now, for particular solution

Xp=DSinωo•t

Xp' = Dωo•Cosωo•t

Xp"=-Dωo²•Sinωo•t

Now substituting this into

Mx'' + kx = F(t).

M(-Dωo²•Sinωo•t) + k(DSinωo•t)=FoSinωo•t

Now, let solve for D

D(-Mωo²•Sinωo•t +kSinωo•t) = FoSinωo•t

D=Fo•Sinωo•t/(-Mωo²•Sinωo•t +kSinωo•t)

D=Fo•Sinωo•t / Sinωo•t(-Mωo²+k)

D=Fo / (-Mωo²+k)

D=Fo / (k-Mωo²)

Divide through by k

D=Fo/k ÷ (1 -Mωo²/k)

Note from above

ωn²= k/M

Therefore,

D=Fo/k ÷ (1-ωo²/ωn²)

D=Fo/k ÷ [1-(ωo/ωn)²]

Then,

Xp=DSinωo•t

Xp=(Fo/k ÷ [1-(ωo/ωn)²]) Sinωo•t

Then the general solution is the sum of the homogeneous solution and particular solution

Xg(t)=(Fo/k ÷ [1-(ωo/ωn)²]) Sinωo•t + A•Sin[ √(k/M)t + φ]

Check attachment for the graph of homogeneous, particular and general solution.

Also, check for better way of writing the equations.

amid [387]

Answer:

85.62 m

168.75 years

101.04 years

Explanation:

L_0 = Length of ship = 143 m

v = Velocity of ship = 0.8c

c = Speed of light

s = Distance to Boralis orbit = 135 ly

Gamma value

\gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{0.8^2c^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \gamma=1.67

Length contraction is given by

L=\dfrac{L_0}{\gamma}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{143}{1.67}\\\Rightarrow L=85.62\ m

The length is 85.62 m

Time taken

t=\dfrac{s}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{135}{0.8}\\\Rightarrow t=168.75\ years

Time taken from the perspective one Earth is 168.75 years

Time dilation is given by

t'=\dfrac{t}{\gamma}\\\Rightarrow t'=\dfrac{168.75}{1.67}\\\Rightarrow t'=101.04\ years

The time taken from the perspective of the ship is 101.04 years

An astronaut is in equilibrium when he is positioned 140 km from the center of asteroid C and 581 km from the center of asteroid
serg [7]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

Distance of astronaut From asteroid x is r_x=140 km

Distance of astronaut From asteroid Y is r_y=581 km

Suppose M,M_x,M_y be the masses of Astronaut , asteroid X and Y

If the astronaut is in equilibrium then net gravitational force on it is zero

F_x=F_y

\frac{GMM_x}{r_x^2}=\frac{GMM_y}{r_y^2}

cancel out the common terms we get

\frac{M_x}{r_x^2}=\frac{M_y}{r_y^2}

\frac{M_x}{M_y}=(\frac{r_x}{r_y})^2

\frac{M_x}{M_y}=(\frac{140}{581})^2

\frac{M_x}{M_y}=0.05806\approx 0.0581

A water wave has a frequency of 2 Hertz and a wavelength of 5 cm. Calculate it speed
Llana [10]

Answer: 0.1 m/s

Explanation:

Use formula,

v = f * w where, v is speed, f is frequency and w is wavelength.

Now,

v = 2 * 5 * 10 ^ -2 ( Remember to convert all the units to SI units. Here 5 cm becomes 5 * 10 ^ -2 m. )

v = 0.1 m/s.

You are retrieving your boat from the water. as a courtesy to others, when should you pull your boat into a launch lane?
OLga [1]
The best way to pull the boat in the launch lane is when the towing vehicle has reached the boat ramp as well as the trailer. It is best to retrieve the boat in this manner for it is more appropriate, convenient and it is a way of showing courtesy towards others because it is a proper manner.
