Answer: y = R*sin(2.75*t - δ)

Here δ is just the time offset and for our purposes is pretty irrelevant.  You can in fact set it to zero since we can say we begin timing when the mass crosses equilibrium.  So

y = R*sin(2.75*t)

We want to find a way to use the information "At the equilibrium position, it moves 2.89 m/s."  I am going to use some calculus here since it makes things so much easier.  If you haven't taken calculus yet, most likely your course has given you a formula to use instead.

We know y=0 when t=0, so y is at equilibrium when t=0.  To say it moves 2.89 m/s is then to say that

y'(0) = 2.89.

From here we can differentiate the displacement function, set t=0 and solve for R.  Using the chain rule:

y'(t) = 2.75*R*cos(2.75*t)

y'(0) = 2.75*R

2.75*R = 2.89

R = 1.051

Explanation: Since this is harmonic motion we can assume there is no damping force.  The frequency of the oscillation is given by ω=√(k/m)=√(18.9/2.5)=2.75.  Keep in mind this is angular frequency, i.e. radians per second, not wavelengths per second.

John dragged a wooden block across a table with 4 different surfaces and the results
AnnyKZ [126]

If the surface is rough then the average force needed to move the wooden block will be more as the friction between the surfaces will be more.

Hence, the least force will be required on the smoothest surface and the greatest force will be required for the roughest surface.

a) Hence, the order will be: B > D > A > C

b) When the surface is glued then the force of friction will increase. Hence, it will require more force to move the wooden block on the surface. Hence, the more required will be more than 105 N.

NemiM [27]

Answer: Machines according to Wikipedia is "a mechanical structure that uses power to apply forces and control movement to perform an intended action. Machines can be driven by animals and people, by natural forces such as wind and water, and by chemical, thermal, or electrical power, and include a system of mechanisms that shape the actuator input to achieve a specific application of output forces and movement ".

A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft that is created to support movement, it makes carry loads easier.

A pulley is a simple type of machine, which in the above explained case makes carrying a load easier.
