A spring attached to the ceiling is stretched 2.45 meters by a four kilogram mass. If the mass is set in motion in a medium that

imparts a damping force numerically equal to 16 times the velocity, the correct differential equation for the position x (t ), of the mass at a function of time, t is

Answer:

d²x/dt² = - 4dx/dt - 4x is the required differential equation.

Explanation:

Since the spring force F = kx where k is the spring constant and x its extension = 2.45 equals the weight of the 4 kg mass,

F = mg

kx = mg

k = mg/x

= 4 kg × 9.8 m/s²/2.45 m

= 39.2 kgm/s²/2.45 m

= 16 N/m

Now the drag force f = 16v where v is the velocity of the mass.

We now write an equation of motion for the forces on the mass. So,

F + f = ma (since both the drag force and spring force are in the same direction)where a = the acceleration of the mass

-kx - 16v = 4a

-16x - 16v = 4a

16x + 16v = -4a

4x + 4v = -a where v = dx/dt and a = d²x/dt²

4x + 4dx/dt = -d²x/dt²

d²x/dt² = - 4dx/dt - 4x which is the required differential equation

In just 0.30 s , you compress a spring (spring constant 5000 n/m ), which is initially at its equilibrium length, by 4.0 cm. par
Ierofanga [76]
The average power output is the ratio between the work done to compress the spring, W, and the time taken, t:
P= \frac{W}{t} (1)

The work done is equal to the elastic energy stored by the compressed spring:
W=U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2
where k=5000 N/m is the spring constant and x=4.0 cm=0.04 m is the compression of the spring. If we substitute the numbers, we find:
W= \frac{1}{2}(5000 N/m)(0.04 m)^2=4 J

And now we can use eq.(1) to calculate the average power output:
P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{4 J}{0.30 s}  =13.3 W

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars
VLD [36.1K]
In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

How does inertia affect someone who isn't wearing a seatbelt
Paul [167]
Basically, when someone is resting in an accelerated vehicle without restraint from a seatbelt, the force of stopping the vehicle will be when inertia occurs, and that force of the vehicle coming to a stop will affect the passenger (without a seatbelt/restraint from another force or object) greatly by throwing them.
For example;
If I were to be riding in a vehicle (without a seatbelt) that's accelerating at 40 m/s^2 and it suddenly gets slammed on the breaks, I will be thrown forward from inside the vehicle.

I hope this helps!
