Given that,

Weight = 4 pound

W=4\ lb

Stretch = 2 feet

Let the force be F.

The elongation of the spring after the mass attached is

x=2-1=1\ feet

(a). We need to calculate the value of spring constant

Using Hooke's law

F=kx

k=\dfrac{F}{x}

Where, F = force

k = spring constant

x = elongation

Put the value into the formula

k=\dfrac{4}{1}

k=4

(b). We need to calculate the mass

Using the formula

F=mg

m=\dfrac{F}{g}

Where, F = force

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

m=\dfrac{4}{32}

m=\dfrac{1}{8}\ lb

We need to calculate the natural frequency

Using formula of natural frequency

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

Where, k = spring constant

m = mass

Put the value into the formula

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{\dfrac{1}{8}}}

\omega=\sqrt{32}

\omega=4\sqrt{2}

(c). We need to write the differential equation

Using differential equation

m\dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}+kx=0

Put the value in the equation

\dfrac{1}{8}\dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}+4x=0

\dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}+32x=0

(d). We need to find the solution for the position

Using auxiliary equation

m^2+32=0

m=\pm i\sqrt{32}

We know that,

The general equation is

x(t)=A\cos(\sqrt{32t})+B\sin(\sqrt{32t})

Using initial conditions

(I). x(0)=2

Then, x(0)=A\cos(\sqrt{32\times0})+B\sin(\sqrt{32\times0})

Put the value in equation

2=A+0

A=2.....(I)

Now, on differentiating of general equation

x'(t)=-\sqrt{32}A\sin(\sqrt{32t})+\sqrt{32}B\cos(\sqrt{32t})

Using condition

(II). x'(0)=0

Then, x'(0)=-\sqrt{32}A\sin(\sqrt{32\times0})+\sqrt{32}B\cos(\sqrt{32\times0})

Put the value in the equation

0=0+\sqrt{32}B

So, B = 0

Now, put the value in general equation from equation (I) and (II)

So, The general solution is

x(t)=2\cos\sqrt{32t}

(e). We need to calculate the  time

Using formula of time

T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}

Put the value into the formula

T=\dfrac{2\pi}{4\sqrt{2}}

T=1.11\ sec

Hence, (a). The value of spring constant is 4.

(b). The natural frequency is 4√2.

(c). The differential equation is \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}+32x=0

(d). The solution for the position is x(t)=2\cos\sqrt{32t}

(e). The time period is 1.11 sec.

At an instant when a soccer ball is in contact with the foot of the player kicking it, the horizontal or x component of the ball
Ymorist [56]

Answer:440.03 N

Explanation:

Given

horizontal component of acceleration (a_x)=800 m/s^2

vertical component of acceleration (a_y)=880 m/s^2

mass of ball =0.37 kg

Force in horizontal direction=m\times a_x=0.37\times 800=296 N

Force in vertical direction =m\times a_y=0.37\times 880=325.6 N

Therefore net force is

F=F_x+F_y

|F|=\sqrt{296^2+325.6^2}

|F|=440.03 N

Design an experimental set up to show that white light is made up of different colours of light​
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Issac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight. He tried to split the colours of the spectrum of white light further by using another similar prism. However, he could not get any more colours. He then placed a second identical prism in an inverted position with respect to the first as shown.

This allowed all the colours of the spectrum to pass through the second prism. He found a beam of white light emerging from the other side of the second prism. This observation gave Newton the idea that the sunlight is made-up of seven colours.

The weight of a standard object defined as having a mass of exactly 2.9 kg is measured to be 28.449 n. in the same laboratory, a
PtichkaEL [24]
Mass of the object m = 2.9 kg 
Force F1 = 28.449 N 
F1 = m1 x a => a = F / m => 28.449 / 2.9 => a = 9.81, which is gravitational acceleration. 
In the same lab, a = g = 9.81, second object F2 = 48.7N = m2 x a 
m2 = F2 / a => 48.7 / 9.81 => m2 = 4.96 kg 
Mass of the second object m2 = 4.96 kg
