A mass of 148 g stretches a spring 13 cm. The mass is set in motion from its equlibrium position with a downward velocity of 10

cm/s and no damping is applied.
(a) Determine the position u of the mass at any time t. Use 9.8 m/s as the acceleration due to gravity. Pay close attention to the units.
(b) When does the mass first return to its equilibrium position?

Answer:

$u(t)=1.15 \sin (8.68t)cm$

0.3619sec

Explanation:

Given that

Mass,m=148 g

Length,L=13 cm

Velocity,u'(0)=10 cm/s

We have to find the position u of the mass at any time t

We know that

$\omega_0=\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{980}{13}}\\\\=8.68 rad/s$

Where $g=980 cm/s^2$

$u(t)=Acos8.68 t+Bsin 8.68t$

u(0)=0

Substitute the value

$A=0\\u'(t)=-8.68Asin8.68t+8.68 Bcos8.86 t$

Substitute u'(0)=10

$8.68B=10$

$B=\frac{10}{8.68}=1.15$

Substitute the values

$u(t)=1.15 \sin (8.68t)cm$

Period =T = 2π/8.68

After half period

π/8.68 it returns to equilibruim

π/8.68 = 0.3619sec

How much power will be required to force a current of 4.13 amps to flow through a conductor whose resistance is 113 ohms? Use tw

-Dominant- [34]

The power required to force the current of 4.13 A to flow through the conductor is 1927.43 watts

<h3>What is power? </h3>

This is defined as the rate in which energy is consumed. Electrical power is expressed mathematically as:

Power (P) = square current (I²)× resistancet (R)

P = I²R

<h3>How to determine the power</h3>

Current (I) = 4.13 A
Resistance (R) = 113 ohms
Power (P) =?

P = I²R

P = 4.13² × 113

P = 1927.43 watts

Thus, the power required is 1927.43 watts

A student tests the acidity of nitric acid (HNO3) by dissolving a sample of HNO3 in a solution of liquid methane. He then uses a

DerKrebs [107]

Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:

1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:

2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.

Does that help?

Very far from earth (at R- oo), a spacecraft has run out of fuel and its kinetic energy is zero. If only the gravitational force

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Speed of the spacecraft right before the collision: $\displaystyle \sqrt{\frac{2\, G\cdot M_\text{e}}{R\text{e}}}$ .

Assumption: the earth is exactly spherical with a uniform density.

Explanation:

This question could be solved using the conservation of energy.

The mechanical energy of this spacecraft is the sum of:

the kinetic energy of this spacecraft, and
the (gravitational) potential energy of this spacecraft.

Let $m$ denote the mass of this spacecraft. At a distance of $R$ from the center of the earth (with mass $M_\text{e}$ ), the gravitational potential energy ( $\mathrm{GPE}$ ) of this spacecraft would be:

$\displaystyle \text{GPE} = -\frac{G \cdot M_\text{e}\cdot m}{R}$ .

Initially, $R$ (the denominator of this fraction) is infinitely large. Therefore, the initial value of $\mathrm{GPE}$ will be infinitely close to zero.

On the other hand, the question states that the initial kinetic energy ( $\rm KE$ ) of this spacecraft is also zero. Therefore, the initial mechanical energy of this spacecraft would be zero.

Right before the collision, the spacecraft would be very close to the surface of the earth. The distance $R$ between the spacecraft and the center of the earth would be approximately equal to $R_\text{e}$ , the radius of the earth.

The $\mathrm{GPE}$ of the spacecraft at that moment would be:

$\displaystyle \text{GPE} = -\frac{G \cdot M_\text{e}\cdot m}{R_\text{e}}$ .

Subtract this value from zero to find the loss in the $\rm GPE$ of this spacecraft:

$\begin{aligned}\text{GPE change} &= \text{Initial GPE} - \text{Final GPE} \\ &= 0 - \left(-\frac{G \cdot M_\text{e}\cdot m}{R_\text{e}}\right) = \frac{G \cdot M_\text{e}\cdot m}{R_\text{e}} \end{aligned}$

Assume that gravitational pull is the only force on the spacecraft. The size of the loss in the $\rm GPE$ of this spacecraft would be equal to the size of the gain in its $\rm KE$ .

Therefore, right before collision, the $\rm KE$ of this spacecraft would be:

$\begin{aligned}& \text{Initial KE} + \text{KE change} \\ &= \text{Initial KE} + (-\text{GPE change}) \\ &= 0 + \frac{G \cdot M_\text{e}\cdot m}{R_\text{e}} \\ &= \frac{G \cdot M_\text{e}\cdot m}{R_\text{e}}\end{aligned}$ .

On the other hand, let $v$ denote the speed of this spacecraft. The following equation that relates $v\!$ and $m$ to $\rm KE$ :

$\displaystyle \text{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^2$ .

Rearrange this equation to find an equation for $v$ :

$\displaystyle v = \sqrt{\frac{2\, \text{KE}}{m}}$ .

It is already found that right before the collision, $\displaystyle \text{KE} = \frac{G \cdot M_\text{e}\cdot m}{R_\text{e}}$ . Make use of this equation to find $v$ at that moment:

$\begin{aligned}v &= \sqrt{\frac{2\, \text{KE}}{m}} \\ &= \sqrt{\frac{2\, G\cdot M_\text{e} \cdot m}{R_\text{e}\cdot m}} = \sqrt{\frac{2\, G\cdot M_\text{e}}{R_\text{e}}}\end{aligned}$ .
