If the earth had no atmosphere, would a falling object reach terminal velocity? Explain

1 answer:

5 0

Terminal velocity is the point when an accelerating object reaches a constant speed. When an object is in free fall on earth, this happens due to the drag force of the atmosphere that pushes up on the object.
If the earth had no atmosphere, the object would keep accelerating and never reach terminal velocity due to the lack of air drag.

mass weighing 16 pounds stretches a spring 8 3 feet. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 2 feet below the equi

valina [46]

Answer:

The answer is

" $x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2}((\frac{-4}{3})\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t- \frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141} \sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}(\cos(3t)+ \sin (3t))$ ".

Explanation:

Taking into consideration a volume weight = 16 pounds originally extends a springs $\frac{8}{3}$ feet but is extracted to resting at 2 feet beneath balance position.

The mass value is =

$W=mg\\m=\frac{w}{g}\\m=\frac{16}{32}\\m= \frac{1}{2} slug\\$

The source of the hooks law is stable,

$16= \frac{8}{3} k \\\\8k=16 \times 3 \\\\k=16\times \frac{3}{8} \\\\k=6 \frac{lb}{ft}\\\\$

Number $\frac{1}{2}$ times the immediate speed, i.e .. Damping force

$\frac{1}{2} \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} = -6x-\frac{1}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}+10 \cos 3t \\\\\frac{1}{2} \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2}+ \frac{1}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}+6x =10 \cos 3t \\ \\\frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} +\frac{dx}{dt}+12x=20\cos 3t \\\\$

The m^2+m+12=0 and m is an auxiliary equation,

$m=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1-4(12)}}{2}\\\\m=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{47i}}{2}\\\\\ m1= \frac{-1 + \sqrt{47i}}{2} \ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ \ m2 =\frac{-1 - \sqrt{47i}}{2}$

Therefore, additional feature

$x_c (t) = e^{\frac{-t}{2}}[C_1 \cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t+ C_2 \sin \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t]$

Use the form of uncertain coefficients to find a particular solution.

Assume that solution equation,

$x_p = Acos(3t)+B sin(3t) \\x_p'= -3A sin (3t) + 3B cos (3t)\\x_p}^{n= -9 Acos(3t) -9B sin (3t)\\$

These values are replaced by equation ( 1):

$\frac{d^2x}{dt}+\frac{dx}{dt}+ 12x=20 \cos(3t) -9 Acos(3t) -9B sin (3t) -3Asin(3t)+3B cos (3t) + 12A cos (3t) + 12B sin (3t)\\\\3Acos 3t + 3B sin 3t - 3Asin 3t + 3B cos 3t= 20cos(3t)\\(3A+3B)cos3t -(3A-3B)sin3t = 20 cos (3t)\\$

Going to compare cos3 t and sin 3 t coefficients from both sides,

The cost3 t is 3A + 3B= 20 coefficients

The sin 3 t is 3B -3A = 0 coefficient

The two equations solved:

$3A+3B = 20 \\\frac{3B -3A=0}{}\\6B=20\\B= \frac{20}{6}\\B=\frac{10}{3}\\$

Replace the very first equation with the meaning,

$3B -3A=O\\3(\frac{10}{3})-3A =0\\A= \frac{10}{3}\\$

equation is

$x_p\\\\\frac{10}{3} cos (3 t) + \frac{10}{3} sin (3t)$

The ultimate plan for both the equation is therefore

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} (c_1 cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}\cos (3t)+\frac{10}{3}\sin (3t)$

Initially, the volume of rest x(0)=2 and x'(0) is extracted by rest i.e.

Throughout the general solution, replace initial state x(0) = 2,

Replace x'(0)=0 with a general solution in the initial condition,

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} [(c_1 cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}\cos (3t)+\frac{10}{3}\sin (3t)]\\\\$

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} [(-\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}c_1\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+ (\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}c_2\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t) +c_1\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t +c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t + \frac{-1}{2}e^{\frac{-t}{2}} -10 sin(3t)+10 cos(3t) \\\\$

$c_2=\frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141}$

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2}((\frac{-4}{3})\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t- \frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141} \sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}(\cos(3t)+ \sin (3t))$

Before being engulfed, matter that is pulled into a black hole should become very hot and emit _____.

miss Akunina [59]

A black hole is a cosmological object that is created when a massive star comes to the end of its life and collapses under its own gravity. Black holes have massive gravitational fields that even light cannot escape beyond a certain distance. Before being engulfed, matter that is pulled into a black hole should become very hot and emit electromagnetic radiation.
