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))

Impact of Synthetic Materials Discussion
Wittaler [7]

With the below stated fact  I think that  the pros of using synthetic materials outweighs the cons.

Before we answer the question

If the pros of using synthetic materials outweigh the cons or otherwise, let us first establish the what a synthetic material is and its pros and cons

Synthetic material

Synthetic material is a material in which a substances are changed chemically to produce a material with different characteristics.

Types of Synthetic material

  •    Plastic bag  
  •    Synthetic fiber/cloth  
  •    Artificial sweetener
  •    Synthetic fuel      
  •    Aspirin

Pros of Synthetic materials

  • They are used in construction because of there strong bonding
  • They can be molded
  • They can be colored into any shade
  • They are cheap

Cons of Synthetic materials

  • Sometimes none degradable
  • They do not absorb water.
  • They are highly flammable
  • Melts easily

In conclusion

Although Synthetic materials has so very pressing disadvantages to human kind it is unrefusable the importance of Synthetic materials to the day to day live of all humans

Therefore, I think that  the pros of using synthetic materials outweighs the cons

Hypothesis:
posledela
They are formed when two plates collide, either crumpling up and forming mountains or pushing one of the plates under the other and back into the mantle to melt. Convergent boundaries form strong earthquakes, as well as volcanic mountains or islands, when the sinking oceanic plate melts.

You are observing traffic in a single lane of a highway at a specific location. You measure the average headway and average spac
HACTEHA [7]

Answers:

1) flow of traffic =   1198.8 veh/h

2) average speed = 34.09 mi/h

3)density of traffic = 34.34 veh/mi

Explanation:

1) to find flow of traffic

we use the relation

q=1/h

where q is the traffic flow and h is average time headway.

h= 3s       (given)

insert the value

q=1/3=0.333veh/s=1198.8veh/h

2) to find average traffic speed

use the relation

u=S/h

where u is average speed S is average spacing and h average time

S= 150 ft   (given)

so inserting the values

u= 150/3*3600/5280=34.09 mi/h

3) density of traffic

K=q/u

where K is density of traffic q is flow of traffic and u is average speed

inserting values from above solved parts

K=1198.8/34.09=34.34 veh/mi
