B.absorb neutrons to prevent chain reactions which become uncontrollable
Answer:
b) a = -k / m x
, c) d²x / dt² = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)
, d) and e) T = 2π √m / k
h) a = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)
Explanation:
a) see free body diagram in the attachment
b) We write Newton's second law
Fe = m a
-k x = ma
a = -k / m x
c) the acceleration is
a = d²x / dt²
If x = A cos wt
v = dx / dt = -A w sin (wt
+Ф)
a = d²x / dt² = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)
d) we substitute in Newton's second law
d²x / dt² = -k / m x
We call
w² = k / m
e) substitute to find w
-A w² cos (wt+Ф) = -k / m A cos (wt+Ф)
w² = k / m
Angular velocity and frequency are related
w = 2π f
f = 1 / T
We substitute
T = 2π / w
T = 2π √m / k
g) v= - A w sin (wt+Ф)
h) acceleration is
a = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)
Answer:
The pickup truck and hatchback will meet again at 440.896 m
Explanation:
Let us assume that both vehicles are at origin at the start means initial position is zero i.e.
= 0. Both the vehicles will cross each other at same time so we will make equations for both and will solve for time.
Truck:
= 33.2 m/s, a = 0 (since the velocity is constant),
= 0
Using 
s = 33.2t .......... eq (1)
Hatchback:
,
= 0 m/s (since initial velocity is zero),
= 0
Using 
putting in the data we will get

now putting 's' value from eq (1)

which will give,
t = 13.28 s
so both vehicles will meet up gain after 13.28 sec.
putting t = 13.28 in eq (1) will give
s = 440.896 m
So, both vehicles will meet up again at 440.896 m.
