A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet.
(a) Determine the amplitude and period of motion if the mass is initially released from a point 1 foot above the equilibrium position with an upward velocity of 6 ft/s.
(b) How many complete cycles will the mass have completed at the end of 4 seconds?
Answer:
Period = seconds
8 cycles
Explanation:
A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet;
it implies that the mass (m) =
m=
= 1 slug
Also from Hooke's Law
2 k = 32
k =
k = 16 lb/ft
Using the function:
(because of the initial position being above the equilibrium position)
( as a result of upward velocity)
NOW, we have:
However;
means
also implies that:
Hence,
Period can be calculated as follows:
=
= seconds
How many complete cycles will the mass have completed at the end of 4 seconds?
At the end of 4 seconds, we have:
cycles
The car heads east at an average speed of 50 miles per hour from the intersection point towards East. The truck heads east at an average speed of 60 miles per hour from the intersection point towards South.
The distance of car from the intersection point after t hours is .
The distance of truck from the intersection point after t hours is .
Since these distances are perpendicular to each other, distance apart d (in miles) at the end of t hours is
Thus the distance apart is
