A brick of mass 4 kg hangs from the end of a spring. When the brick is at rest, the spring is stretched by 3 cm. The spring is t

hen stretched an additional 2 cm and released. Assume there is no air resistance. Note that the acceleration due to gravity, g, is g = 980 cm/s2. Set up a differential equation with initial conditions describing the motion and solve it for the displacement s(t) of the mass from its equilibrium position (with the spring stretched 3 cm). s(t) = cm(Note that your answer should measure t in seconds and s in centimeters.)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this system we have the force of the spring and the gravitational force. The equation that describes that is

F_{s}+F{g}=ma\\k(y_0+y)-mg=ma

where y0 is the equilibrium position when the string is free and y0+y is the new equilibrium position when the object is hanged of the string. By replacing by derivatives we have

ky_0+ky-mg=ma\\mg+ky-mg=ky=ma\\\\ky=m\frac{d^2y}{dt^2}\\\\my''+ky=0

the solution for this differential equation is (by using the characterisic polynomial)

y(x)=Acos(kt)+Bsin(kt)\\k=\omega^2m

hope this helps!!

Answer:

A) d²x/dt² = -326.67x

At time t = 0,the spring is stretched to 5cm and and released.

Thus, the initial velocity is zero. Thus, the initial condition is;

x(0) = -5 and x'(0) = 0

B) The solution to the equation is;

x(t) = -5cos 18.07t

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Due to stretching, the force due to gravity and that due to stretching of spring will be the same. Thus;

mg = -kx

m = 4kg ; x = -3cm and g=980 cm/s²

Thus,

k = mg/x = 4x980/3 = 1306.67

The motion of mass attached to a spring is given as;

d²x/dt² = -ω²x

Where, ω² = k/m = 1306.67/4 = 326.67

Thus, the differential equation for the problem would be;

d²x/dt² = -326.67x

At time t = 0,the spring is stretched to 5cm and and released.

Thus, the initial velocity is zero. Thus, the initial condition is;

x(0) = -5 and x'(0) = 0

B) The general solution would be given by;

x(t) = C1cos ωt + C2sinωt

From earlier, ω² = 326.67

So, ω = √326.67 = 18.07

Thus,

x(t) = C1cos 18.07t + C2sin 18.07t

Now, applying initial conditions ;

At x(0) = -5;

-5 = C1cos 0 + C2sin 0

C1 = -5

x'(t) = -18.07C1Sin18.07t + 18.07C2Cos18.08t

Thus, at x'(0) = 0

0 = -18.07C1Sin 0 + 18.07C2Cos0

18.07C2 = 0

So,C2 = 0

Thus,the solution to the equation is;

x(t) = -5cos 18.07t

Find three consecutive even integers, such that
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

2, 4 and 6 are consecutive even integers that fit the criterion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Model the problem as an equation

let a be first integer, b be second, c be third

8a = b+c+6

Since these are consecutive even integers:

b = a + 2

c = b + 2 = a + 4

Substitute these equivalents into the equation

8a = (a+2)+(a+4)+6

Combine like terms

8a = a+2+a+4+6

8a = 2a + 12

Isolate a

6a = 12 (divide both sides by 6)

a = 2

Sub a=2 into b=a+2 and c=a+4

b=a+2 = 2+2 = 4

b=4

c=a+4 = 2+4 = 6

c=6

Arithmetic, geometric, or neither?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

1st)  geometric

2nd)  arithmetic

3rd)  arithmetic

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric = you multiply or divide to get the next term

Arithmetic = you add or subtract to get the next term

1st)  you times by 3 to get next term = geometric

2nd)  you add one to get next terms = arithmetic

3rd) you add 4 to get next term = arithmetic

Someone please answer what this equals
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Anything to the 0th power is equal to 1. The 0th power is attached to the x, so this means that x = 1. Now you can multiply 5 and 1 together to get a final answer of 5.
