Answer:

2d

Explanation:

For any instance equivalent force acting on the body is

mg-kd= m\frac{d}{dt}\frac{dx}{dt}

Where

m is the mass of the object

k is the force constant of the spring

d is the extension in the spring

and

d/dt(dx/dt)=  is the acceleration of the object

solving the above equation we get

x= Asin\omega t +d

where

\omega= \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } = \frac{2\pi}{T}

A is the amplitude of oscillation from the mean position.

k= spring constant , T= time period

Here  we are assuming  that at t=T/4

x= 0   since, no extension in the spring

then

A=- d

Hence

x=- d sin wt + d

now, x is maximum when sin wt=- 1

Therefore,

x(maximum)=2d

an eco friendly hotel is under construction. Which strategies will help hotel management reach its goal of being eco friendly
uysha [10]

Answer:

To reach the goal to be Eco friendly, the designer must not harm the ecosystem of surrounding in any ways.

Explanation:

  • Friendly design means that the hotel must not harm the surrounding ecosystem in any way.
  • The hotels' energy consumption shall be fulfilled by the use of renewable resources like solar, wind energy, etc.
  • Proper disposal of wastage is the most important term.
  • No, chemicals are used inside the premises of the hotel for any purpose of cleaning, washing, etc.
  • The designer must place a garden with grass, trees, and flowers for the fresh air of the hotel.

significant figures are digits read directly from measuring instrument plus one more digit, which is ______ by the observer
Kay [80]
Estimated by the observer.

Take a buret, you can read to the 0.1 mL directly from the device, but the amount may lie between the 0.1 marks so you can estimate how far between the marks the fluid lies.

A proposed space elevator would consist of a cable stretching from the earth's surface to a satellite, orbiting far in space, th
NISA [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. Here we will use the conservation between the potential gravitational energy and the kinetic energy to determine the velocity of this escape. The gravitational potential energy can be expressed as,

PE= \frac{GMm}{d}

The kinetic energy can be written as,

KE= \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where,

G = 6.67*10^{-11}m^3/kg\cdot s^2Gravitational Universal Constant

m = 5.972*10^{24}kg Mass of Earth

h = 56*10^6m  Height

r = 6.378*10^6m Radius of Earth

From the conservation of energy:

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{GMm}{d}

Rearranging to find the velocity,

v = \sqrt{\frac{2Gm}{d}} \rightarrow  Escape velocity at a certain height from the earth

If the height of the satellite from the earth is h, then the total distance would be the radius of the earth and the eight,

d = r+h

v = \sqrt{\frac{2Gm}{r+h}}

Replacing the values we have that

v = \frac{2(6.67*10^{-11})(5.972*10^{24})}{6.378*10^6+56*10^6}

v = 3.6km/s

Therefore the escape velocity is 3.6km/s

ollegr [7]

Answer:

a. L =3.465 J.s

b. 3.186 rad/s

c. T =  1.972 s

d. Lp = 0.022 J.s; up or down, depending on the direction of L

Explanation:

(a)We have the formula for angular momentum as

L = I*w where I = moment of inertia = M*R^2

L = (23/9.81) * 0.14^2* (24*pi) J.s = 3.465 J.s

(b) ω = M*g*D/L

where D = L/2 = 0.96/2 = 0.48m

ω = (23* 0.48/3.465) rad/s = 3.186 rad/s

(c) T = 2π/ω

T = 2*π/3.186 s = 1.972 s

(d) Lp = M*D^(2*w)

Solving with mass M, D and angular velocity ω

Lp = 0.022 J.s; up or down, depending on the direction of L

What is the difference between uniform and non-uniform magnetic field lines?
timurjin [86]
Uniform magnetic lines as the name suggests are composed of lines that point to the same direction and of the same magnitude. This means all of these lines exert the same force. Non-uniform relates to different directions of the lines and a varied magnitude.
