D = distance between th two trains at the start of the motion = 100 miles
V = speed of the faster train towards slower train = 60 mph
v = speed of the slower train towards faster train = 40 mph
t = time taken by the two trains to collide = ?
time taken by the two trains to collide is given as
t = D/(V + v)
t = 100/(60 + 40) = 1 h
v' = speed of the bird = 90 mph
d = distance traveled by the bird
distance traveled by the bird is given as
d = v' t
d = 90 x 1
d = 90 miles
Answer:
The time constant is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The spring constant is 
The mass of the ball is 
The amplitude of the oscillation t the beginning is 
The amplitude after time t is 
The number of oscillation is 
Generally the time taken to attain the second amplitude is mathematically represented as
Here T is the period of oscillation

=> 
=> 
Generally the amplitude at time t is mathematically represented as

Here a is the damping constant so
at
, 
So

=> 
taking natural log of both sides
=>
=> 
Generally the time constant is mathematically represented as
=>
=>
I would think that you would have to do 42/2=21Hz, but I'm not sure...
