A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet.

(a) Determine the amplitude and period of motion if the mass is initially released from a point 1 foot above the equilibrium position with an upward velocity of 6 ft/s.

(b) How many complete cycles will the mass have completed at the end of 4 seconds?

Answer:

A = 1.803 ft

Period = \frac{\pi}{2} seconds

8 cycles

Explanation:

A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet;

it implies that the mass (m) = \frac{w}{g}

m= \frac{32}{32}

= 1 slug

Also from Hooke's Law

2 k = 32

k = \frac{32}{2}

k = 16 lb/ft

Using the function:

\frac{d^2x}{dt} = - 16x\\\frac{d^2x}{dt} + 16x =0

x(0) = -1        (because of the initial position being above the equilibrium position)

x(0) = -6          ( as a result of upward velocity)

NOW, we have:

x(t)=c_1cos4t+c_2sin4t\\x^{'}(t) = 4(-c_1sin4t+c_2cos4t)

However;

x(0) = -1 means

-1 =c_1\\c_1 = -1

x(0) =-6 also implies that:

-6 =4(c_2)\\c_2 = - \frac{6}{4}

c_2 = -\frac{3}{2}

Hence, x(t) =-cos4t-\frac{3}{2} sin 4t

A = \sqrt{C_1^2+C_2^2}

A = \sqrt{(-1)^2+(\frac{3}{2})^2 }

A=\sqrt{\frac{13}{4} }

A= \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{13}

A = 1.803 ft

Period can be calculated as follows:

= \frac{2 \pi}{4}

= \frac{\pi}{2} seconds

How many complete cycles will the mass have completed at the end of 4 seconds?

At the end of 4 seconds, we have:

x* \frac{\pi}{2} = 4 \pi

x \pi = 8 \pi

x=8 cycles

Why is it impossible to create a perpetual motion machine?
enyata [817]

Answer:

The first law of thermodynamics is the law of conservation of energy. It states that energy is always conserved. ... To keep a machine moving, the energy applied should stay with the machine without any losses. Because of this fact alone, it is impossible to build perpetual motion machines.

A ball rolls up a ramp with a velocity of 8.0 m/s. How high up the ramp does it travel?
Flura [38]

The greatest height the ball will attain is 3.27 m

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Initial velocity (u) = 8 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (at maximum height)
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Maximum height (h) =?

The maximum height to which the ball can attain can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = 8² – (2 × 9.8 × h)

0 = 64 – 19.6h

Collect like terms

0 – 64 = –19.6h

–64 = –19.6h

Divide both side by –19.6

h = –64 / –19.6h

h = 3.27 m

Thus, the greatest height the ball can attain is 3.27 m

The coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends upon
zzz [600]
<span>I think that the coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends on THE CHANGE IN VOLUME.

Cubical expansion, also known as, volumetric expansion has the following formula:

</span>Δ V = β V₁ ΔT

V₁ = initial volume of the body
ΔT = change in temperature of the body
β = coefficient of volumetric expansion.

β is defined as the <span>increase in volume per unit original volume per Kelvin rise in temperature.
</span>
With the above definition, it is safe to assume that the <span>coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends on the change in volume, which also changes in response to the change in temperature. </span>

A child is holding a wagon from rolling straight back down in a driveway that inclined at 20 degree horizontal. if the wagon wei
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

F = 51.3°

Explanation:

The component of weight parallel to the inclined plane must be responsible for the rolling back motion of the car. Hence, the force required to be applied by the child must also be equal to that component of weight:

F = Parallel\ Component\ of\ Weight\ of\ Wagon= WSin\theta\\

where,

W = Weight of Wagon = 150 N

θ = Angle of Inclinition = 20°

Therefore,

F = (150\ N)Sin\ 20^o

<u>F = 51.3°</u>

the height of seven falls in colorado is 5/2 the height of twin falls in idahi. the sum of the two heights is 420 ft. find the h
Masja [62]
Let height of twin falls = x
height of seven falls = 2.5x

x + 2.5x = 420
3.5x = 420
x = 420/3.5 = 120

so twin falls = x = 120 ft
seven falls = 2.5x = 300 ft
