Answer:

x(t) = d*cos ( wt )

w = √(k/m)

Explanation:

Given:-

- The mass of block = m

- The spring constant = k

- The initial displacement = xi = d

Find:-

- The expression for displacement (x) as function of time (t).

Solution:-

- Consider the block as system which is initially displaced with amount (x = d) to left and then released from rest over a frictionless surface and undergoes SHM. There is only one force acting on the block i.e restoring force of the spring F = -kx in opposite direction to the motion.

- We apply the Newton's equation of motion in horizontal direction.

                             F = ma

                             -kx = ma

                             -kx = mx''

                              mx'' + kx = 0

- Solve the Auxiliary equation for the ODE above:

                              ms^2 + k = 0

                              s^2 + (k/m) = 0

                              s = +/- √(k/m) i = +/- w i

- The complementary solution for complex roots is:

                              x(t) = [ A*cos ( wt ) + B*sin ( wt ) ]

- The given initial conditions are:

                              x(0) = d

                              d = [ A*cos ( 0 ) + B*sin ( 0 ) ]

                              d = A

                              x'(0) = 0

                              x'(t) = -Aw*sin (wt) + Bw*cos(wt)

                              0 = -Aw*sin (0) + Bw*cos(0)

                              B = 0

- The required displacement-time relationship for SHM:

                               x(t) = d*cos ( wt )

                               w = √(k/m)

A 0.046 kg golf ball hit by a driver can accelerate from rest to 67 m/s in 1 ms while the driver is in contact with the ball. Ho
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Average force = 67 mn

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity u = 0 m/s

Final velocity v = 67 m/s

Time t = 1 ms = 0.001 sec.

Computation:

Using Momentum theory

Change in momentum  = F × Δt

 (v-u)/t =  F × Δt

F × 0.001 = (67 - 0)/0.001

F= 67,000,000

Average force = 67 mn

Be sure to answer all parts. Assume the diameter of a neutral helium atom is 1.40 × 102 pm. Suppose that we could line up helium
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The number of atoms are 1.86\times10^{8}.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter D = 1.40\times10^{2}\ pm

D=1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}\ m

Distance = 2.60 cm

We calculate the number of atoms

Using formula of numbers of atoms

Number\ of\ atoms =\dfrac{2.60\times10^{-2}}{1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}}

Number\of\atoms =1.86\times10^{8}

Hence, The number of atoms are 1.86\times10^{8}.

If you pull horizontally on a desk with a force of 150 N and the desk doesn't move, the friction force must be 150 N. Now if you
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The friction force is 250 N

Explanation:

The desk is moving at constant velocity. This means that its acceleration is zero: a = 0. Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on the desk is equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

\sum F=ma

In this case, we know that the acceleration is zero: a = 0, so also the resultant of the forces must be zero:

\sum F = 0 (1)

We are only interested in the forces acting along the horizontal direction, since it is the direction of motion. There are two forces acting in this direction:

- the pull, forward, F = 250 N

- the friction force, backward, F_f

Given (1), we have

F-F_f = 0

So the force of friction must be equal to the pull:

F=F_f = 250 N
