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

A donkey starts from rest and accelerates for 6.7 s at a rate of 1.6 m/s².
vitfil [10]

The maximum speed of the donkey is 10.72m/s

The question is based on the principle of motion in one dimension and hence formulas of motion in one dimension can be applied.

It is given that donkey attains an acceleration of 1.6 m/s^2

The time taken to accelerate  to given speed is 6.7 seconds

We use the formula v=u + at to find the fastest speed

v is the final or maximum speed

u is the initial speed which in this case is 0 as the donkey is at rest

a is the acceleration of the donkey

t is  the time taken in seconds

v = u + at

v= 0 + 1.6 x 6.7

 = 10.72 m/s

Hence the donkey obtains the speed of 10.72 m/s

2. What is the kinetic energy of a 7.26 kg bowling ball that is rolling at a speed of 2 m/s?
telo118 [61]

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object when that object is moving in space. The higher the mass of an object or higher the speed of an object the higher the kinetic energy will be.

So to calculate the Kinetic Energy we can use the following formula

K.E=(1/2)*m*v^2

Inserting the values in formula gives:

K.E=1/2*7.26*2^2

14.52J

This is the final answer which gives the kinetic energy of the ball.

a ball is dropped from rest at a height of 89m above the ground. (a)what is it's speed just before it hits the ground? (b) how l
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

(a) 41.75m/s

(b) 4.26s

Explanation:

Let:

 Distance, D = 89m

 Gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

Initial Velocity, u = 0m/s

Final Velocity, v = ?

Time Taken, t = ?

With the distance formula, which is

D = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2

and by substituting what we already know, we have:

89 = \frac{1}{2}×9.8×t^{2}

With the equation above, we can solve for t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{89(2)}{9.8}} \\t=\sqrt{\frac{178}{9.8} } \\t=\sqrt{18.16} \\t=4.26 seconds

Now that we have solved t, we can use the following velocity formula to solve for v:

v = u + at, where a is also equals to g, so we have

v = u + gt

By substituting u = 0, g = 9.8, and t = 4.26,

We have:

v = 0 + 9.8(4.26)\\v = 41.75m/s

A person wearing a shoulder harness can survive a car crash if the acceleration is smaller than -300 m/s . assuming constant acc
mars1129 [50]

To solve this problem, we use the equation:

<span>d = (v^2  - v0^2) / 2a</span>

 

where,

d = distance of collapse

v0 = initial velocity = 101 km / h = 28.06 m / s

v = final velocity = 0

a = acceleration = - 300 m / s^2

 

d = (-28.06 m / s)^2 / (2 * - 300 m / s^2)

<span>d = 1.31 m</span>
