Although a zig zag pattern going up a mountain means you walk further, the incline of the slope is a lot less so you don't have to work as hard.

Explain the law of conservation of momentum.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

It says that momentum cannot be created or destroyed. Momentum just passes through systems as opposed to just disappearing in thin air. Momentum can be changed to heat or energy.

Measurements of acceleration are given in units of ?
Lady_Fox [76]
Meters per second squared: \frac{m}{s^{2}}

If you think about it, acceleration is about how fast speed changes. Speed is measured in meters per second: \frac{m}{s}

So if you take that and just measure it over time, you get meters per second squared.

A mass weighing pounds is attached to a spring whose constant is lb/ft. The medium offers a damping force that is numerically eq
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

hello your question has some missing values attached below is the complete question with the missing values

answer :

a) 0.083 secs

b) 0.33 secs

c)  3e^-4/3

Explanation:

Given that

g = 32 ft/s^2 ,  spring constant ( k ) = 2 Ib/ft

initial displacement = 1 ft above equilibrium

mass = weight / g = 4/32 = 1/8

damping force = instanteous velocity  hence  β = 1

a<u>)Calculate the time at which the mass passes through the equilibrium position.</u>

time mass passes through equilibrium = 1/12 seconds = 0.083

<u>b) Calculate the time at which the mass attains its extreme displacement </u>

time when mass attains extreme displacement = 1/3 seconds = 0.33 secs

<u>c) What is the position of the mass at this instant</u>

position = 3e^-4/3

attached below is the detailed solution to the given problem
