A mass is hung from a spring and set in motion so that it oscillates continually up and down. The velocity v of the weight at ti

me t is given by the equation v=−2 cos(3πt) with v measured in feet per second and t measured in seconds. Determine the maximum velocity of the mass and the amount of time it takes for the mass to move from its lowest position to its highest position.

Answer:

the maximum velocity of the mass v (max) = 2 ft/s

the amount of time it takes for the mass to move from its lowest position to its highest position∆t = 1/3 seconds = 0.33 seconds

Explanation:

Given the velocity equation;

v=−2 cos(3πt)

The maximum velocity would be at cos(3πt) = 1 or cos(3πt) = -1

v (max) = -2 × -1 = 2 ft/s

The time taken for the mass to move from lowest position to highest position

At Lowest position, vertical velocity equals zero.

At highest position, vertical velocity equals zero.

The time taken for the mass to move from one v = 0 to the next v = 0

Cos(π/2) = 0 and

Cos(3π/2) = 0

For the first;

Cos(3πt) = cos(π/2)

3πt1 = π/2

t1 = π/2(3π)

t1 = 1/6 second

For the second;

Cos(3πt) = cos(3π/2)

3πt2 = 3π/2

t2 = 3π/2(3π)

t2 = 1/2 second

∆t = t2 - t1 = 1/2 - 1/6 = 3/6 - 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3 seconds

∆t = 1/3 seconds

A 330.-ohm resistor is connected to a 5.00-volt battery. What is the current through the resistor?
Gelneren [198K]

I = 0.0152 A = 15.2 mA

Explanation:

Using Ohm's law,

V = IR or

I = V/R

= (5.00 V)/(330. ohms)

= 0.0152 A

= 15.2 mA

A thermometer initially reading 212F is placed in a room where the temperature is 70F. After 2 minutes the thermometer reads 125
frez [133]

Answer:

91.3°F

Explanation:

Let T be the temperature of the thermometer at any time

T∞ be the temperature of the room = 70°F

T₀ be the initial temperature of the thermometer = 212°F

And m, c, h are all constants from the cooling law relation

From Newton's law of cooling

Rate of Heat loss by the cake = Rate of Heat gain by the environment

- mc (d/dt)(T - T∞) = h (T - T∞)

(d/dt) (T - T∞) = dT/dt (Because T∞ is a constant)

dT/dt = (-h/mc) (T - T∞)

Let (h/mc) be k

dT/(T - T∞) = -kdt

Integrating the left hand side from T₀ to T and the right hand side from 0 to t

In [(T - T∞)/(T₀ - T∞)] = -kt

(T - T∞)/(T₀ - T∞) = e⁻ᵏᵗ

(T - T∞) = (T₀ - T∞)e⁻ᵏᵗ

Inserting the known variables

(T - 70) = (212 - 70)e⁻ᵏᵗ

(T - 70) = 142 e⁻ᵏᵗ

At t = 2 minute, T = 125°F

125 - 70 = 142 e⁻ᵏᵗ

55/142 = e⁻ᵏᵗ

- kt = In (55/142) = In (0.3873)

- k(2) = - 0.9485

k = 0.4742 /min

At time t = 4 mins

kt = 0.4742 × 4 = 1.897

(T - 70) = 142 e⁻ᵏᵗ

e^(-1.897) = 0.15

T - 70 = 142 × 0.15 = 21.3

T = 91.3°F

When heather grabbed the glass of ice water, the ice cubes were floating at the top. why were the ice cubes floating in the wate
tiny-mole [99]
The ice cubes were floating in water because they are less dense than liquid water. When water is frozen, a structure that is crystalline is formed that is held by hydrogen bonding. Due to the orientation of these bonds, the moleules would push far away from each other causing it to have a bigger volume and a lower density.

Gases in the first atmosphere came from
Darya [45]

Earth's original atmosphere was probably just hydrogen and helium, because these were the main gases in the dusty, gassy disk around the Sun from which the planets formed. The Earth and its atmosphere were very hot.
