Answer:

the equation of motion is

x(t) =-\frac{1}{6} \cos4\sqrt{6} t

Explanation:

Given that,

The weight attached to the spring is 24pounds

Acceleration due to gravity is 32ft/s²

Assume x is the string length, 4inches

convert the length inches to to feet = 4/12 = 1/3feet

From Hookes law , we calculate the spring constant k

k = W / x

k = 24 / (1/3)

k = 24 / 0.33

k = 72lb/ft

If the mass is displace from its equilibrium position by amount x

the differential equation is

m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2} + kx=0\\\\\frac{3}{4 } \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+72x=0\\

\frac{d^2x}{dt^2} +96x=0

Auxiliary equation is

m^2+96=0\\m=\sqrt{-96} \\m=\_ ^+4\sqrt{6}

Thus the solution is,

x(t) =  c_1cos4\sqrt{6t} +c_2sin\sqrt{6t}

x'(t) =-4\sqrt{6c_1} sin4\sqrt{6t} +c_24\sqrt{6} cos4\sqrt{6t}

The mass is release from rest

x'(0) = 0

-4\sqrt{6c_1 }  \sin4\sqrt{6} (0)+c_24\sqrt{6} \cos4\sqrt{6} (0)=0\\c_24\sqrt{6} =0\\\\c_2=0

Therefore

x(t) = c₁ cos4 √6t

x(0) = -2inches

c₁ cos4 √6(0) = 2/12feet

c₁= 1/6feet

There fore, the equation of motion is

x(t) =-\frac{1}{6} \cos4\sqrt{6} t

Why are there two fluoride ions in magnesium fluoride but only one fluoride ion in lithium fluoride
postnew [5]
This would be more of a chemistry question. Remember magnesium has a charge of 2+, and would need to hand off its two extra electrons. Fluorine can only take one electron at a time, so there needs to be two fluorines to take one magnesium's 2 electrons. 

With lithium, it has a +1 charge, so it has one extra electron, which it can hand off to just 1 fluorine atom. 

Another way of looking at this is: Mg^{2+} + 2F^{-} = MgF2  (the charges must balance out to zero)

Li^{+} + F^{-} = LiF (the charges balance out to zero)

A turntable must spin at 33.4 rpm (3.50 rad/s) to play an old-fashioned vinyl record. how much torque must the motor deliver if
Westkost [7]
In order to compute the torque required, we may apply Newton's second law for circular motion:
Torque = moment of inertia * angular acceleration

For this, we require the angular acceleration, α. We may calculate this using:
α = Δω/Δt
The time taken to achieve rotational speed may be calculated using:
time = 1 revolution * 2π radians per revolution / 3.5 radians per second
time = 1.80 seconds

α = (3.5 - 0) / 1.8
α = 1.94 rad/s²

The moment of inertia of a thin disc is given by:
I = MR²/2
I = (0.21*0.1525²)/2
I = 0.002

τ = 1.94 * 0.002
τ = 0.004

The torque is 0.004

A(n) 131 g ball is dropped from a height
larisa [96]

Answer:

26.59 N/m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 131 g

Extention (e) = 4.82755 cm

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Spring constant (K) =?

Next, we shall convert 131 g to Kg. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 g = 1 Kg

Therefore,

131 g = 131 g × 1 Kg / 1000 g

131 g = 0.131 Kg

Thus, 131 g is equivalent to 0.131 Kg.

Next, we shall the force exerted by the ball on the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.131 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 0.131 × 9.8

F = 1.2838 N

Next, we shall convert 4.82755 cm to metre (m)

This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

4.82755 cm = 4.82755 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

4.82755 cm = 0.0482755 m

Thus, 4.82755 cm is equivalent to 0.0482755 m

Finally, we shall determine the spring constant as follow:

Force (F) = 1.2838 N

Extention (e) = 0.0482755 m

Spring constant (K) =?

F = Ke

1.2838 = K × 0.0482755

Divide both side by 0.0482755

K = 1.2838 / 0.0482755

K = 26.59 N/m

Thus the spring constant is 26.59 N/m

A car drives for 30 km with a speed of 30m/s. How much time does it take the car to travel this distance?
Artist 52 [7]

                   Time  =  (distance)  /  (speed)

                           =  (30 km)  /  (30 m/s)

                           =  (30,000 m)  /  (30 m/s)

                           =  (30,000 / 30)  sec

                           =      1,000 seconds

                           =      16 minutes  40 seconds
