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

A bicycle racer rides from a starting marker to a turnaround marker at 10 m/s. She then rides back along the same route from the
vitfil [10]

Answer:

12.31 m/s

Explanation:

If we recall from the previous knowledge we had about speed,

we will know that:

speed = distance/ time.

As such:

The average speed of the rider bicycle is

average speed = total distance/ total time

Mathematically, it can be computed as:

v_{avg} = \dfrac{d+d}{\dfrac{d}{v_1}+ \dfrac{d}{v_2}}

v_{avg} = \dfrac{2d}{\dfrac{d}{10 \ m/s}+ \dfrac{d}{16 \ m/s}}

v_{avg} = \dfrac{2}{\dfrac{1}{10 \ m/s}+ \dfrac{1}{16 \ m/s}}

v_{avg} = \dfrac{2}{\dfrac{13}{80 \ m/s}}

\mathbf{v_{avg} =12.31 \ m/s}

What are the products of a fusion reaction? Check all that apply.
Free_Kalibri [48]

Energy, heavier atoms atoms, neutron and a proton are the products of a fusion reaction.

<h3>What are the products of a fusion reaction?</h3>

Nuclear fusion is a type of reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei fuse or combine to form heavy nuclei and subatomic particles such as neutrons or protons and release of energy.

So we can conclude that Energy, heavier atoms, neutron and a proton are the products of a fusion reaction.

Starting from Newton’s law of universal gravitation, show how to find the speed of the moon in its orbit from the earth-moon dis
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: 1010.92 m/s

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}} (1)

Where:

F is the gravitational force between Earth and Moon

G=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}} is the Gravitational Constant  

M=5.972(10)^{24} kg is the mass of the Earth

m=7.349(10)^{22} kg is the mass of the Moon

r=3.9(10)^{8} m is the distance between the Earth and Moon

Asuming the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is a circular orbit, the Earth exerts a centripetal force on the moon, which is equal to F:

F=m.a_{C} (2)

Where a_{C} is the centripetal acceleration given by:

a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r} (3)  

Being V the orbital velocity of the moon

Making (1)=(2):

m.a_{C}=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}} (4)

Simplifying:

a_{C}=G\frac{M}{r^{2}} (5)

Making (5)=(3):

\frac{V^{2}}{r}=G\frac{M}{r^{2}} (6)  

Finding V:

V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}} (7)

V=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24} kg)}{3.9(10)^{8} m}} (8)

Finally:

V=1010.92 m/s
