A cyclist maintains a constant velocity of 4.1 m/s headed away from point A. At some initial time, the cyclist is 244 m from poi

nt A. What will be his displacement from his starting position after 60 s?

Answer:

$d=490\ m$ is his final displacement from the point A after 60 seconds.

Explanation:

Given:

Cyclist is moving away from A.

velocity of cyclist, $v=4.1\ m.s^{-1}$

displacement of the cyclist from point A at the time of observation, $d_i=244\ m$

time after which the next observation is to be recorded, $t=60\ s$

Now as the cyclist is moving away from point A his change in displacement after the mentioned time:

$\Delta d=v.t$

$\Delta d = 4.1 \times 60$

$\Delta d=246\ m$

<u>Now the the final displacement from point A after the mentioned time:</u>

$d=d_i+\Delta d$

$d=244+246$

$d=490\ m$

A 1-kilogram mass is attached to a spring whose constant is 21 N/m, and the entire system is then submerged in a liquid that imp

amm1812

Answer:

the required value is $x(t) = \frac{7}{4} e^{-3t}-\frac{3}{4} e^{-7t}$

Explanation:

Given that,

mass, m = 1kg

spring constant k = 21N/M

damping force = $-\beta\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{-10dx}{dt}$

$\beta = 10$

By Newtons second law ,

The diffrential equation of motion with damping is given by

$m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2} = -kx-\beta\frac{dx}{dt}$

substitute the value of m =1kg, k = 21N/M, and $\beta = 10$

$1\frac{d^2x}{dt^2} = -21x=10\frac{dx}{dt}$

$\frac{d^2x}{dt^2} + 10\frac{dx}{dt} + 21x = 0$

suppose the equation of the form $x =e^m^t$ ,

and the auxilliary equation is given by

$m^2 + 10m + 21 = 0\\\\m^2 + 7m+3m+21=0\\\\m(m+7)+3(m+7)=0\\\\(m+7)(m+3)=0\\\\m=-7\\m=-3$

The general solution for the above differential equation is

$x(t) =C_1e^{-3t}+C_2e^{-7t}$

Derivate with respect to t

$x'(t)=-3C_1e^{-3t}-7C_2e^{-7t}$

(a)

since time is 0 then mass is one meter below

so x(0) = 1

Also it start from rest , that implies , velocity is 0 and time is 0

$x'(0) = 0$

substitute the initial condition

$C_1 +C_2 = 1$

$-3C_1-7C_2=0$

Solve the above equation to get C₁ and C₂

$C_1 =\frac{7}{4} and C_2 = -\frac{3}{4}$

substitute for C₁ and C₂ in general solution

$x(t) = \frac{7}{4} e^{-3t}-\frac{3}{4} e^{-7t}$

Thus the required value is $x(t) = \frac{7}{4} e^{-3t}-\frac{3}{4} e^{-7t}$

Joshua was driving to a friend’s house to study. During his trip, he started on pavement. At one point, he hit an ice patch on t

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

b. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased two more times.

Explanation:

Frictional force depends on the normal force of the surface and a friction coefficient.

$F_{f} = -\mu N$

Since we're talking about the same car, the value of $N$ will remain constant whereas μ will represent the change in the frictional coefficient of the surface. Now we consider the different surfaces, cars will slide in an icy road which means that the frictional coefficient is smaller than the pavement.

After Joshua returns to the pavement road, the resulting frictional force increases and will do so one more time when he reaches the gravel road. Gravel roads have greater frictional coefficients than pavement roads which means the frictional force will increase a second time.
