A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 6 ft and one leg of length 2 ft.

2 answers:

It is C , 4 root 2

If you already have the hypotenuse you can use the equation A^2 - B^2 = C^2
So 36-4 = 32
Square root of 32 is 4 root 2 if simplifying through Surds.

Answer:

The other leg is 24 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

49+x2=625. x2=576. x=±24→ Eliminate the -24 answer choice; a side length cannot be negative.

Find the length of the third side to the nearest tenth.<br> 5<br> 1

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

square root of 26 (sorry couldn't get the symbol)

Step-by-step explanation:

C^2 = A^2 + B^2 (Pythagoras Theorem)

C^2 = 5^2 + 1^2

C^2 = 26

take square root of both sides

C =

$\sqrt{26}$

A 1 newton force will stretch a spring 1 meter. The spring/mass system is damped by a force that is 8 times the instantaneous ve

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the mass is m =16kg, and 1N force will stretch the spring 1 m.

That is, F =1N,Z =1m. Now find the spring constant k:

F = kL = 1 = k(1) = k= 1N/m.

The damping force is 8times the instantaneous velocity, this means β = 8,

and the external force is f(t) = 0

Initially the object compressed 0.6m above equilibrium position,

with the downward velocity is 2m/s.

The differential equation for a spring mass system with

damping force and extemal force is: mx" + βxt + kx = f(t).

so, 16x"+ 8x' + x= 0, x(0} = -0.6, x'(0)= 2m/s.

Now solve the DE:

The auxilary equation for the homogeneous equation is 16x"+8x'+x=0

solving we get, 16r² + 8r + 1 = 0 => (4r + 1)² = 0 => r = - 1/4.

Then the general solution for the homogenous system is: $x(t)=c_1e^{-t/4} +c_2te^{-t\4}$ .

Use the initial conditions x (0) = -0.6, x'(0) = 2m/s:

$x(0)=c_1e^{0} +c_2(0)e^{0}=-0.6=c_1\\x'(t)=-\frac{1}{4}c_1e^{-t/4}+c_2e^{-t/4}-\frac{1}{4}c_2te^{-t/4}\\x'(0)=-\frac{1}{4}c_1e^0+c_2e^0-\frac{1}{4}c_2(0)e^0=2=-\frac{1}{4}(-0.6)+c_2=c_2=1.85$ .
