Consider a block of mass m attached to two springs, one on the left with spring constant k1 and one on the right with spring con

stant k2. Each spring is attached on the other side to a wall, and the block slides without friction on a horizontal surface. When the block is sitting at x = 0, both springs are relaxed. Write Newton’s second law, F = ma, as a differential equation for an arbitrary position x of the block. What is the period of oscillation of this system?

Answer:

T= 2\pi\times sqrt(m/(k1+k2))

Explanation:

When the block is displaced by x units

F= spring force

two springs are connected parallel

F =-k_1x - k_2x

Writing Newtons second law, F = ma

-k_1x - k_2x =ma

-k_1x - k_2x = mx''

a= x" ( differentiating x w.r.t time twice)

x''+(k_1/m + k_2/m) x=0

this the standard form of equation of oscillation spring mass system

This is the differential equation, x'' means that double differentiation of x , i.e, x'' is acceleration

since,  Period T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{K_{eq.}} }

therefore,

T= 2\pi\times sqrt(m/(k1+k2))

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Cuanto más fuerte es el ácido, más rápido se disocia para generar H +start superscript, plus, end superscript. Por ejemplo, el ácido clorhídrico (HCl) se disocia completamente en iones hidrógeno y cloruro cuando se mezcla con agua, por lo que se considera un ácido fuerte.

Why do the magnetic forces acting on the coil change as the current running through the coil changes?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: The changing magnetic field caused by the material's motion induces a current in the coil of wire proportional to the change in field. If a 0 is represented, the magnetic field does not change between the two domains of a bit, so no current is induced as the magnetic material passes the coil.

The ratio of the focal length of a lens to it's diameter is the​
user100 [1]

Answer:

The f-ratio describes the relationship between the lens diameter and the focal length and is calculated by dividing the focal length by the diameter of the lens. For example, if a lens were to have a focal length of 50mm and a diameter of 10mm, then the f-ratio would be 50mm/10mm=5 or otherwise referred to as f5.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

density of galaxies would be \frac{1}{0.27^3} times higher which is equal to 50.81.

It means  in a cube that today contains one galaxy the size of the Milky Way, we would instead find 50.81 galaxies this size.

You can round this off to 52
