The motion of a simple spring hanging from the ceiling can be modeled with a cosine function. The bottom of the spring has a max

imum height of 7 feet 4 inches and a minimum height of 6 feet 2 inches from the floor. It takes 2 seconds for the spring to expand from its minimum length to its maximum length. What is a cosine function that models the spring’s length in inches above and below its average, resting position? Express the model as a function of time in seconds

The first step is to substitute the given values in this equation f(x)= A cos (W*t). It is assumed that there is no mass in the resting position. The calculated amplitude is equal to 7. The final answer is f(t) = 7cos(π/2t).

Answer:

y = 6'9" + 7"cos(\frac{\pi}{2} t)

Explanation:

As we know that the distance between maximum and minimum distance of the position will be equal to double of the amplitude.

So here we can say that

2 \times Amplitude = maximum\: distance - minimum \:distance

2A = 7'4" - 6'2"

2A = 1'2"

A = 7 inch

Since it took 2 second to reach the position of maximum length from its position of minimum length so here time period of motion will be

T = 4 seconds

so here angular frequency is given as

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

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{4}

now the equation of motion will be

y = 6'9" + 7"cos(\frac{\pi}{2} t)

here its mean position from ground is at 6 ft 9 inch above and it will oscillate about it with an amplitude of 7 inch with time period of 4 s

A small electric motor produces a force of 5 N that moves a remote-control car 5 m every second. How much power does the motor p
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Force, f = 5 N

Velocity, v = 5 m/s

Power, p = energy/time

Energy = mass × acceleration × distance

Poer, p = force × velocity

= 5 × 5

= 25 W.

Note 1 watt = 0.00134 horsepower

But 25 watt,

0.00134 hp/1 watt × 25 watt

= 0.0335 hp.

You paddle a conoe with a force of 325 N. You and the canoe have a combined mass of 250 kg. What is the acceleration of the cano
Brums [2.3K]

f = ma

Rearranging it, we get;

a =  \frac{f}{m}
Where a is the acceleration, f is the force, and m is the mass

a =  \frac{325}{250}
a = 1.3 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }

What is the weight of a dog with a mass of 12 kg? Explain how you obtained your answer.
butalik [34]

Answer: 117.60N

Explanation:

Weight is a force. Therefore, we can use the force formula to find weight.

Formula: W=m*g

W = weight

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)

W=(12kg)(9.8m/s^2)\\W=117.60N

A book is launched up along the rough incline. Kinetic energy given to a book at initial point is 100 J. Book comes to stop at s
den301095 [7]

Answer:

(A) 60 J

Explanation:

At state 1

KE₁=100 J

At state 2

KE₂ = 0

U₂=80 J

Given that surface is rough so friction force will act in opposite to the direction of motion

Lets take work done by friction = Wfr

From work power energy

Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic energy

Wfr + U₂=ΔKE

Wfr+80 = 100

Wfr= 20 J

Now when book slides from top position then

Wfr+ U = KEf - KEi

-20 + 80 = KEf-0

KEf= 60 J

(A) 60 J
