A force of 960 newtons stretches a spring 4 meters. A mass of 60 kilograms is attached to the end of the spring and is initially

released from the equilibrium position with an upward velocity of 6 m/s. Find the equation of motion.

Answer:

x(t) = - 6 cos 2t

Explanation:

Force of spring = - kx

k= spring constant

x= distance traveled by compressing

But force = mass × acceleration

==> Force = m × d²x/dt²

===> md²x/dt² = -kx

==> md²x/dt² + kx=0 ------------------------(1)

Now Again, by Hook's law

Force = -kx

==> 960=-k × 400

==> -k =960 /4 =240 N/m

ignoring -ve sign k= 240 N/m

Put given data in eq (1)

We get

60d²x/dt² + 240x=0

==> d²x/dt² + 4x=0

General solution for this differential eq is;

x(t) = A cos 2t + B sin 2t ------------------------(2)

Now initially

position of mass spring

at time = 0 sec

x (0) = 0 m

initial velocity v= = dx/dt= 6m/s

from (2) we have;

dx/dt= -2Asin 2t +2B cost 2t = v(t) --- (3)

put t =0 and dx/dt = v(0) = -6 we get;

-2A sin 2(0)+2Bcos(0) =-6

==> 2B = -6

B= -3

Putting B = 3 in eq (2) and ignoring first term (because it is not possible to find value of A with given initial conditions) - we get

x(t) = - 6 cos 2t

A ball is thrown straight upward and rises to a maximum

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we know that the ball is projected upwards so that it will reach to maximum height of 16 m

so we have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

here we know that

$v_f = 0$

also we have

$a = -9.81 m/s^2$

so we have

$0 - v_i^2 = 2(-9.81)(16)$

$v_i = 17.72 m/s$

Now we need to find the height where its speed becomes half of initial value

so we have

$v_f = 0.5 v_i$

now we have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$(0.5v_i)^2 - v_i^2 = 2(-9.81)h$

$-0.75v_i^2 = -19.62 h$

$0.75(17.72)^2 = 19.62 h$

$h = 12 m$

A garden hose attached with a nozzle is used to fill a 10‐ gal bucket. The inner diameter of the hose is 2 cm, and it reduces to

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Volume of bucket $V=10\ gallon$

Time taken to fill the bucket $t=50\ s$

so volume flow rate is $\dot{V}=\frac{10}{50}=0.2\ gal/s$

1 gal is equivalent to $0.133\ ft^3$

$\dot{V}=0.0267\ ft^3/s$

mass flow rate $\dot{m}=\rho \times \dot{V}$

$\dot{m}=62.4\times 0.0267$

$\dot{m}=1.668\ lbs$

(b)Average velocity through nozzle exit

$\dot{V}=Av_{avg}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{0.0267}{\frac{\pi}{4}\times (0.0262)^2}$

$v_{avg}=49.51\ ft/s$

Current is produced when charges are accelerated by an electric field to move to a position of lower

Vaselesa [24]

Current is created when charges are quickened by an electric field to move where the position of lower temperature. An electric current is a stream of electric charge. In electric circuits, this charge is regularly conveyed by moving electrons in a wire.

A very small sphere with positive charge 5.00uC is released from rest at a point 1.20cm from a very long line of uniform linear

JulijaS [17]

Let us situate this on the x axis, and let our uniform line of charge be positioned on the interval <span>(−L,0]</span> for some large number L. The voltage V as a function of x on the interval <span>(0,∞)</span> is given by integrating the contributions from each bit of charge. Let the charge density be λ. Thus, for an infinitesimal length element <span>d<span>x′</span></span>, we have <span>λ=<span><span>dq</span><span>d<span>x′</span></span></span></span>.<span>V(x)=<span>1/<span>4π<span>ϵ0</span></span></span><span>∫line</span><span><span>dq/</span>r</span>=<span>λ/<span>4π<span>ϵ0</span></span></span><span>∫<span>−L</span>0</span><span><span>d<span>x/</span></span><span>x−<span>x′</span></span></span>=<span>λ/<span>4π<span>ϵ0</span></span></span><span>(ln|x+L|−ln|x|)</span></span>

Explain<br> (0) what is meant by regeneration,<br> (ii) why an analogue signal cannot be regenerated

Kamila [148]

Explanation:

<h3>1.) Regeneration is the natural process of replacing or restoring damaged or missing cells, tissues, organs, and even entire body parts to full function in plants and animals.</h3>

2.) When noise is added to analogue signals, it usually sounds like background hiss. Such noise can not be removed so the original clean signal can not be re-created or re-generated.
