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)

The most common isotope of hydrogen contains a proton and an electron 'separated by about -11-27 5.0 x 10 m. The mass of proton
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A)   F_g = 4.05 10⁻⁴⁷ N, B)   F_e = 9.2 10⁻⁸N, C)    \frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.3 10³⁹

Explanation:

A) It is asked to find the force of attraction due to the masses of the particles

Let's use the law of universal attraction

            F = G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

let's calculate

            F = 6.67 \ 10^{-11} \ \frac{9.1 \ 10^{-31} \ 1.67 \ 10 ^{-27} }{(5 \ 10^{-11})^2 }

            F_g = 4.05 10⁻⁴⁷ N

B) in this part it is asked to calculate the electric force

Let's use Coulomb's law

            F = k \  \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

let's calculate

            F = 9 \ 10^9 \  \frac{(1.6 \ 10^{-19} )^2}{(5 \ 10^{-11})^2}

             F_e = 9.2 10⁻⁸N

C) It is asked to find the relationship between these forces

        \frac{F_e}{F_g} = \frac{9.2 \ 10^{-8} }{4.05 \ 10^{-47} }

        = 2.3 10³⁹

therefore the electric force is much greater than the gravitational force

Elements from opposite sides of the periodic table tend to form ________.
Ivenika [448]
Ionic compounds is your answer. What happens is one atom donates electron(s) to the other atom, making one positive and the other negative. The opposite atoms attract, forming an ionic bond. 

Hope this helps! :)

posledela

Answer:

180.4 m

Explanation:

The package in relation to the point where it was released falls a certain distance that is calculated by applying the horizontal motion formulas , as the horizontal speed of the plane and the height above the ground are known, the time that It takes the package to reach its destination and then the horizontal distance (x) is calculated from where it was dropped, as follows:    

$V_{ox}=v_x = 40 \ m/s$

   h = 100 m  

    x =?

     Height formula h:

     $h=g \times \frac{t^2}{2}$

      Time t is cleared:

     $t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

      $t = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 100}{9.8}}$

      t = 4.51 sec

 Horizontal distance formula x:

       $x=V_x \times t$

        x = 40 m / sec x 4.51 sec

        x = 180.4 m
