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))

g Suppose that you charge a 3 F capacitor in a circuit containing eight 3.0 V batteries, so the final potential difference acros
Vladimir79 [104]

The complex, highly technical formula for capacitors is

<em>Q = C V</em>

Charge = (capacitance) (voltage)

Charge = (3 F) (24 V)

<em>Charge = 72 Coulombs</em>

The positive plate of the capacitor is missing 72 coulombs worth of electrons.  They were sucked into positive terminal of the battery stack.

The negative plate of the capacitor has 72 coulombs worth of extra electrons.  They came from the negative terminal of the battery stack.

You should be aware that this is a humongous amount of charge !  An average <u><em>lightning bolt</em></u>, where electrons flow between a cloud and the ground for a short time, is estimated to transfer around <u><em>15 coulombs</em></u> of charge !

The scenario in the question involves a "supercapacitor".  3 F is is no ordinary component ... One distributor I checked lists one of these that's able to stand 24 volts on it, but that product costs $35 apiece, you have to order at least 100 of them at a time, and they take 2 weeks to get.  

Also, IF you can charge this animal to 24 volts, it will hold 864J of energy.  You'd probably have a hard time accomplishing this task with a bag of leftover AA batteries.

propane, the gas used in barbeque grills, is made of carbon and hydrogen. Will the atoms that make up propane form covalent bond
nirvana33 [79]
<span>Hydrocarbons are molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen.</span> Due to carbon's unique bonding patterns, hydrocarbons can have single, double, or triple bonds between the carbon atoms. The names of hydrocarbons with single bonds end in "-ane," those with double bonds end in "-ene," and those with triple bonds end in "-yne". The bonding of hydrocarbons allows them to form rings or chains.
