Answer:

the spring constant k = 5.409*10^4 \ N/m

the value for the damping constant \\ \\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s

Explanation:

From Hooke's Law

F = kx\\\\k =\frac{F}{x}\\\\where \ F = mg\\\\k = \frac{mg}{x}\\\\given \ that:\\\\mass \ of \ each \ wheel = 425 \ kg\\\\x = 7.7cm = 0.077 m\\\\g = 9.8 \ m/s^2\\\\Then;\\\\k = \frac{425 \ kg * 9.8 \ m/s^2}{0.077 \ m}\\\\k = 5.409*10^4 \ N/m

Thus; the spring constant k = 5.409*10^4 \ N/m

The amplitude is decreasing 37% during one period of the motion

e^{\frac{-bT}{2m}}= \frac{37}{100}\\\\e^{\frac{-bT}{2m}}= 0.37\\\\\frac{-bT}{2m} = In(0.37)\\\\\frac{-bT}{2m} = -0.9943\\\\b = \frac{2m(0.9943)}{T}\\\\b = \frac{2m(0.9943)}{\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}}\\\\b = \frac{m(0.9943) \ ( \omega) )}{ \pi}

b = \frac{m(0.9943)(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m})}}{\pi}\\\\b = \frac{425*(0.9943)(\sqrt{\frac{5.409*10^4}{425}) }    }{3.14}\\\\b = 1518.24 \ kg/s\\\\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s

Therefore; the value for the damping constant \\ \\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s

In what climates would you expect soil to form fastest? Why?
enyata [817]

Answer:

Soils develop faster in warm, moist climates and slowest in cold or arid ones. Rainfall is one of the most important climate factors in soil formation.

Why are collisions between galaxies more likely than collisions between stars within a galaxy?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

stars share a gravitational force with the galaxy while nearby galaxies do not share a gravitational field.

Explanation:

stars will not collide because they are bound by a gravitational orbit around the galaxy

Volcanic eruption affects water drainage but what may that result in​
dmitriy555 [2]
Explosive eruptions can severely disturb landscapes downwind or downstream of volcanoes by damaging vegetation and depositing large volumes of erodible fragmental material. As a result, fluxes of water and sediment in affected drainage basins can increase dramatically.
