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

A hydrogen fuel cell supplies power for a small motor. the fuel cell delivers a current of 0.5 a and a voltage of 0.43 v. what i
gogolik [260]
We want to know what is the power supplied by the power cell if the current I=0.5 A and the voltage V=0.43 V. The equation for power P is P= I*V, so:

P=I*V=0.5*0.43=0.215 W

So the correct answer is that the power cell is supplying the motor with P=0.215 W of power.

Tectonic plates move due to _____ forces.
wel
<span>Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle. The mantle itself moves due to convection currents: hot rock rises, gives off some heat, then falls. This creates vast swirls of moving liquid rock under the crust of the earth, which jostles the plates of crust on top.

An athlete jumping vertically on a trampoline leaves the surface with a velocity of 8.5 m/s upward. what maximum height does she
Mumz [18]
<span>Her center of mass will rise 3.7 meters. First, let's calculate how long it takes to reach the peak. Just divide by the local gravitational acceleration, so 8.5 m / 9.8 m/s^2 = 0.867346939 s And the distance a object under constant acceleration travels is d = 0.5 A T^2 Substituting known values, gives d = 0.5 9.8 m/s^2 (0.867346939 s)^2 d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 0.752290712 s^2 d = 3.68622449 m Rounded to 2 significant figures gives 3.7 meters. Note, that 3.7 meters is how much higher her center of mass will rise after leaving the trampoline. It does not specify how far above the trampoline the lowest part of her body will reach. For instance, she could be in an upright position upon leaving the trampoline with her feet about 1 meter below her center of mass. And during the accent, she could tuck, roll, or otherwise change her orientation so she's horizontal at her peak altitude and the lowest part of her body being a decimeter or so below her center of mass. So it would look like she jumped almost a meter higher than 3.7 meters.</span>
