A spring with a spring constant kk of 100 pounds per foot is loaded with 1-pound weight and brought to equilibrium. it is then s
tino4ka555 [31]

Given:

k = 100 lb/ft, m = 1 lb / (32.2 ft/s) = 0.03106 slugs 

Solution:


F = -kx 
mx" = -kx 
x" + (k/m)x = 0 

characteristic equation: 
r^2 + k/m = 0 
r = i*sqrt(k/m) 

x = Asin(sqrt(k/m)t) + Bcos(sqrt(k/m)t) 

ω = sqrt(k/m) 
2π/T = sqrt(k/m) 
T = 2π*sqrt(m/k) 
T = 2π*sqrt(0.03106 slugs / 100 lb/ft) 
T = 0.1107 s (period) 

x(0) = 1/12 ft = 0.08333 ft 
x'(0) = 0 

1/12 = Asin(0) + Bcos(0) 
B = 1/12 = 0.08333 ft 

x' = Aω*cos(ωt) - Bω*sin(ωt) 
0 = Aω*cos(0) - (1/12)ω*sin(0) 
0 = Aω 
A = 0 

So B would be the amplitude. Therefore, the equation of motion would be x = 0.08333*cos[(2π/0.1107)t]

A 3.0 g bullet traveling at a speed of 400 m/s enters a tree and exits the other side with a speed of 200 m/s. Where did the bul
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

1800J

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass of bullet m= 3g= 0.03kg

initial velocity u = 400m/s

final velocity v= 200 m/s

Step two:

1.The bullet's lost kinetic energy went inside the tree.

2. The energy transferred is computed as

= initial KE- KE final

Initial KE= 1/2mu^2

Initial KE= 1/2*0.03*400^2

Initial KE= 1/2*0.03*160000

Initial KE= 1/2*4800

Initial KE= 2400J

KE final= 1/2mv^2

KE final= 1/2*0.03*200^2

KE final= 1/2*0.03*40000

KE final= 1/2*1200

KE final= 600J

KE transferred = 2400-600

KE transferred= 1800J

A resistor is connected to a 36v power supply. An ammeter measures a current of 2.0 A going through it. Determine the resistance
m_a_m_a [10]

R = 18 ohms

Explanation:

Given:

V = 36 volts

I = 2.0 A

R = ?

Use Ohm's law to solve for the resistance:

V = IR

or

R = V/I

= (36 volts)/(2.0 A)

= 18 ohms

What is the difference between a neutralization reaction and a double-displacement reaction? (1 point) Double-displacement react
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Neutralization reactions always produce water and a salt.

Explanation:

There are different types of chemical reactions that occurs. Two of them are neutralization and double-displacement reaction. Neutralization reaction is the reaction between an acid and a base to give an acid salt and water as products. For example:

2NaOH (base) + H2SO4 (acid) → Na2SO4 (salt) + 2H2O (water)

On the other hand, Double displacement reaction is the reaction that involves an ion exchange between the reactants to form new products. This ionic exchange occurs in such a way that two reactants form two new products. For example:

2NaCl + Ca(NO3)2 → CaCl2 + 2NaNO3

Therefore, the major difference between these two types of reactions is that: NEUTRALIZATION MUST ALWAYS PRODUCE WATER AND SALT AS PRODUCTS.
