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

What is the potential energy of a puppy that weighs 18 N istting in a high chair 2 m high?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Potential energy =mass* acceleration due to gravity * height

mass*acceleration due to gravity =weight

hence potential energy of the puppy= weight * height

=18*2

=36 joule

What is the acceleration of a car that goes from 0 to 20m/s in 7 seconds?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

2m/s^2

Explanation:

Clculate the acceleration:

V = u +at

20m/s = 0 + a*10s

a = 20m//10s

a = 2m/s²

From the data given , it is not possible to calculate the displacement , because no direction of motion is given

But it is possible to calculate the distance travelled

Distance = ut + ½ *a*t²

distance = 0 + ½ * 2m/s * 10²s

distance = 100m

Tectonic plates are large segments of the earth's crust that move slowly. suppose one such plate has an average speed of 4.8 cm
user100 [1]
<span>one year is 365, 1 day is 24 hours, 1 hour is 60 minutes, 60 minutes is 60 seconds, thus (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 31,536,000 one year is equal to 31,536,000 seconds. the plate has a speed of 4.8 cm every 31,536,000 seconds. lets find out how far it goes in 40 seconds. (4.8/31,536,000)*40 = 0.00000608828 The plate moves 0.00000608828 cm every 40 seconds</span>
