Answer:
a) t=24s
b) number of oscillations= 11
Explanation:
In case of a damped simple harmonic oscillator the equation of motion is
m(d²x/dt²)+b(dx/dt)+kx=0
Therefore on solving the above differential equation we get,
x(t)=A₀
where A(t)=A₀
A₀ is the amplitude at t=0 and
is the angular frequency of damped SHM, which is given by,

Now coming to the problem,
Given: m=1.2 kg
k=9.8 N/m
b=210 g/s= 0.21 kg/s
A₀=13 cm
a) A(t)=A₀/8
⇒A₀
=A₀/8
⇒
applying logarithm on both sides
⇒
⇒
substituting the values

b) 

, where
is time period of damped SHM
⇒
let
be number of oscillations made
then, 
⇒
The answer is 12.5 kg because 250N / 20m/s^2
I hope that helped
Answer:
B
Explanation:
<em>A. His speed is 0 m/s
</em>
<em>B. His velocity is 12 m/s
</em>
<em>C. His velocity is 0 m/s
</em>
<em>D. His acceleration is 12 m/s</em>
Total distance traveled by John = 120 + 120 = 240 meters
Total time taken by John to cover the distance = 10 + 10 = 20 s
<em>Average speed of John = total distance traveled/total time taken</em>
= 240/20 = 12 m/s
Hence, the average speed/velocity of John throughout the journey is 12 m/s.
The correct option is B.
Answer:
Heat flows from hot to cold objects. When a hot and a cold body are in thermal contact, they exchange heat energy until they reach thermal equilibrium, with the hot body cooling down and the cold body warming up. This is a natural phenomenon we experience all the time.
