A mass of 4kg stretches a spring 40cm. Suppose the mass is displaced an additional 12cm in the positive (downward) direction and

then released. Suppose that the damping constant is 3 N⋅s/m and assume g=9.8m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration. (a) Set up a differential equation that describes this system. Let x t

Answer:

A differential equation is 4x''+3x'+98x=0.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 4 kg

Stretch string = 40 cm

Additional distance = 12 cm

Damping constant = 3 N-s/m

Let xx to denote the displacement, in meters, of the mass from its equilibrium position, and give your answer in terms of x,x′,x′′ .

We need to calculate the spring constant k

The net force in y direction at equilibrium position

F_{y}=0

mg-kx=0

Put the value into the formula

4\times9.8-k\times40\times10^{-2}=0

k=\dfrac{4\times9.8}{40\times10^{-2}}

k=98\ N/m

The initial displacement from equilibrium

x(0)=12\ cm

The initial velocity is

v(0)=0

We need to set up a differential equation

The net force in y direction is zero at equilibrium position .

\Sum F_{y}=0

mx''+cx'+kx=0

Put the value into the equation

4x''+3x'+98x=0

Hence, A differential equation is 4x''+3x'+98x=0.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The answer is "0.91238 and 744.8"

Explanation:

In this scenario it is easier to take a person to the water-pool than to transport the people in the air, as the person's strength is increased by water upwards:

f_b \to m \to mg =person \\\\F_B \ in\  air = v\ & air\  g \\\\

               =0.076 \times 1.225 \times 9.8 \\\\ =0.91238 \ N\\\\

F_B \ in \ water = v  \& water \ g \\\\

                    =0.076 \times 1000 \times 9.8\\\\= 744.8 \ N\\

A locomotive approaches its next stop and accelerates at -0.12 m/s^2, coming to a complete stop in 30 seconds. This motion could
Masja [62]

Answer:

<em>Answer: positive velocity & negative acceleration</em>

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion</u>

Both the velocity and acceleration are vectors because they have magnitude and direction. When the motion is restricted to one dimension, i.e. left-right or up-down, the direction is marked with the sign according to some preset reference.

The locomotive is moving at a certain speed with a (so far) unknown sign but the acceleration has a negative sign. Since the locomotive comes to a complete stop it means the velocity and the acceleration are of opposite signs.

Thus the velocity is positive.

Answer: positive velocity & negative acceleration
