X=r-p. Maybe I don't understand, but I am assuming that you need to isolate for X? you simply subtract p from both sides.<span />

Find the volume of a box with length 25 cm, height 25 cm and width 1.0 m.

emmasim [6.3K]

Before finding the volume, it is always good to change the units as same.
length 25cm
height 25cm
width 100cm

volume
length * height * width
25 * 25 * 100
62500 cm^3

A mass weighing 4 lb stretches a spring 2 in. Suppose that the mass is given an additional 6-in displacement in the positive dir

givi [52]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{8} y'' + 2y' + 24y=0$

Explanation:

The standard form of the 2nd order differential equation governing the motion of mass-spring system is given by

$my'' + \zeta y' + ky=0$

Where m is the mass, ζ is the damping constant, and k is the spring constant.

The spring constant k can be found by

$w - kL=0$

$mg - kL=0$

$4 - k\frac{1}{6}=0$

$k = 4\times 6 =24$

The damping constant can be found by

$F = -\zeta y'$

$6 = 3\zeta$

$\zeta = \frac{6}{3} = 2$

Finally, the mass m can be found by

$w = 4$

$mg=4$

$m = \frac{4}{g}$

Where g is approximately 32 ft/s²

$m = \frac{4}{32} = \frac{1}{8}$

Therefore, the required differential equation is

$my'' + \zeta y' + ky=0$

$\frac{1}{8} y'' + 2y' + 24y=0$

The initial position is

$y(0) = \frac{1}{2}$

The initial velocity is

$y'(0) = 0$

On the way to the moon, the Apollo astronauts reach a point where the Moon’s gravitational pull is stronger than that of Earth’s

Drupady [299]

Answer:

rm = 38280860.6[m]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's universal gravitation law.

In the attached image we can find a schematic of the locations of the Earth and the moon and that the sum of the distances re plus rm will be equal to the distance given as initial data in the problem rt = 3.84 × 108 m

$r_{e} = distance earth to the astronaut [m].\\r_{m} = distance moon to the astronaut [m]\\r_{t} = total distance = 3.84*10^8[m]$

Now the key to solving this problem is to establish a point of equalisation of both forces, i.e. the point where the Earth pulls the astronaut with the same force as the moon pulls the astronaut.

Mathematically this equals:

$F_{e} = F_{m}\\F_{e} =G*\frac{m_{e} *m_{a}}{r_{e}^{2} } \\$

$F_{m} =G*\frac{m_{m}*m_{a} }{r_{m} ^{2} } \\where:\\G = gravity constant = 6.67*10^{-11}[\frac{N*m^{2} }{kg^{2} } ] \\m_{e}= earth's mass = 5.98*10^{24}[kg]\\ m_{a}= astronaut mass = 100[kg]\\m_{m}= moon's mass = 7.36*10^{22}[kg]$

When we match these equations the masses cancel out as the universal gravitational constant

$G*\frac{m_{e} *m_{a} }{r_{e}^{2} } = G*\frac{m_{m} *m_{a} }{r_{m}^{2} }\\\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e}^{2} } = \frac{m_{m} }{r_{m}^{2} }$

To solve this equation we have to replace the first equation of related with the distances.

$\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e}^{2} } = \frac{m_{m} }{r_{m}^{2} } \\\frac{5.98*10^{24} }{(3.84*10^{8}-r_{m} )^{2} } = \frac{7.36*10^{22} }{r_{m}^{2} }\\81.25*r_{m}^{2}=r_{m}^{2}-768*10^{6}* r_{m}+1.47*10^{17} \\80.25*r_{m}^{2}+768*10^{6}* r_{m}-1.47*10^{17} =0$

Now, we have a second-degree equation, the only way to solve it is by using the formula of the quadratic equation.

$r_{m1,2}=\frac{-b+- \sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2*a}\\ where:\\a=80.25\\b=768*10^{6} \\c = -1.47*10^{17} \\replacing:\\r_{m1,2}=\frac{-768*10^{6}+- \sqrt{(768*10^{6})^{2}-4*80.25*(-1.47*10^{17}) } }{2*80.25}\\\\r_{m1}= 38280860.6[m] \\r_{m2}=-2.97*10^{17} [m]$

We work with positive value

rm = 38280860.6[m] = 38280.86[km]

How much power is used if a force of 54 newtons is used to pull a wagon a distance of 10 meters in 6 seconds?

AnnZ [28]

First, calculate the work done: 54 x 10 = 540J.
Now calculate power: 540 / 6 = 90.
The answer is 90W.

Hope this helps.
