Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

When you are saying "damped harmonic oscillator" it basically implies the motion of the oscillator will be damped, so the oscillation should decay with time.

For example, consider a harmonic oscillator inside water. so here the motion of the oscillator will be damped due to the friction with the water.

So, yes energy will be lost to friction in the motion.

Ok, now for your case, you are giving an external harmonic force, that will keep the oscillator moving. Also, it maintains a steady oscillatory motion, implies that whatever damping is causing because of the friction, is exactly nullified by the external harmonic force.  Hence you get the steady oscillation.

What happens to a wave when it is reflected?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Reflection involves a change in direction of waves when they bounce off a barrier. Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another. Refraction, or the bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves.

Positive charge Q is placed on a conducting spherical shell with inner radius R1 and outer radius R2. A particle with charge q i
sergejj [24]

Answer: in this question, the only charge in the cavity is Q. Inside the conducting spherical shell, the electric field is zero.

While outside the shell, the electric field is given by: k(q + Q)/r²

Where;

K= is a constant which is given as, 8.99 x 10^9 N m² / C².

Q= source charge which creates the electric field

q= is the test charge which is used to measure the strength of the electric field at a given location.

r= is the radius

Explanation: Inside the conducting spherical shell, the electric field is zero since the Electric field vanishes everywhere inside the volume of a good conductor.

A 45 g bullet strikes and becomes embedded in a 1.55 kg block of wood placed on a horizontal surface just in front of the gun. I
zimovet [89]

Answer:

299.51 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass of the bullet = 45 g = 0.045 kg

M = mass of the block = 1.55 kg

v = muzzle speed of the bullet

V = speed of bullet-block combination after the collision

μ = Coefficient of friction between the block and the surface = 0.28

d = distance traveled by the block = 13 m

V' = final speed of the bullet-block combination = 0 m/s

acceleration of the bullet-block combination due to frictional force is given as

a = - μg

using the kinematics equation

V'² = V² + 2 a d

0² = V² + 2 (- μg) d

0 = V² - 2 (μg) d

0 = V² - 2 (0.28) (9.8) (13)

V = 8.45 m/s

Using conservation of momentum for collision between bullet and block

mv = (M + m) V

(0.045) v = (1.55 + 0.045) (8.45)

v = 299.51 m/s
