An undamped spring-mass system contains a mass that weighs and a spring with spring constant . It is suddenly set in motion at b
balandron [24]

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.

The figure (Figure 1) shows the velocity of a solar-powered motorhome (RV) as a function of time. The driver accelerates from a
SpyIntel [72]

Explanation :

It is given that, the driver accelerates from a stop sign, cruises for 20 s at a constant speed of 60 km/h, and then brakes to come to a stop 40 s after leaving the stop sign.

We know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

Where

dv is the change in velocity, dv = 0 - 60 m/s = -60 m/s

dt is the change in time, dt = 40 s - 30 s = 10 s

So, a=\dfrac{-60\ m/s}{10\ s}

a = -6\ m/s^2

From the graph it is clear that, from 30 s to 40 s the car is decelerating. So, at every second within this time the value of acceleration will be same i.e. -6\ m/s^2.

2. What is the kinetic energy of a 7.26 kg bowling ball that is rolling at a speed of 2 m/s?
telo118 [61]

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object when that object is moving in space. The higher the mass of an object or higher the speed of an object the higher the kinetic energy will be.

So to calculate the Kinetic Energy we can use the following formula

K.E=(1/2)*m*v^2

Inserting the values in formula gives:

K.E=1/2*7.26*2^2

14.52J

This is the final answer which gives the kinetic energy of the ball.

When a 0.622 kg basketball hits the floor, its velocity changes from 4.23 m/s down to 3.85 m/s up. If the ball was in contact wi
SVEN [57.7K]

when the ball hits the floor and bounces back the momentum of the ball changes.

the rate of change of momentum is the force exerted by the floor on it.

the equation for the force exerted is

f = rate of change of momentum

f = \frac{mv - mu}{t}

v is the final velocity which is - 3.85 m/s

u is initial velocity - 4.23 m/s

m = 0.622 kg

time is the impact time of the ball in contact with the floor - 0.0266 s

substituting the values

f = \frac{0.622 kg (3.85 m/s - (-)4.23 m/s)}{0.0266}

since the ball is going down, we take that as negative and ball going upwards as positive.

f = 189 N

the force exerted from the floor is 189 N

Why are infrared waves located between microwaves and visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum?
dangina [55]

Answer: The infra red waves is located between microwave and visible light based on their WAVELENGTH and FREQUENCY of occurrence.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are those waves that do not require or need a material medium for its propagation, but they are able to travel through a vacuum. They exhibit or show all properties associated or connected with light. They are undeflected in electric and magnetic fields. These electromagnetic waves are arranged in order of their FREQUENCY and WAVELENGTHS which is known as ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM.

FREQUENCY is defined as the number of cycles which the wave completes in one second and is measured in Hertz(Hz). While WAVELENGTH is defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of waves which is measured in meter (m).

The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of the following rays which is arranged from the biggest wavelengths to the smallest:

--> Radiowaves

--> microwave :

--> infrared rays:

--> visible light:

--> ultraviolet rays

--> x-rays and

--> Gamma rays.

According to the arrangement of the spectrum above, the microwave has a higher wavelength and frequency than the infrared rays, while the visible light has a lower wavelength and frequency than the infrared rays.
