I think the correct answer among the choices listed above is option B. The acceleration of gravity is a constant equal to 9.8 meters per second squared.  You can see that all things fall at this rate if there is no air resistance in a system or when in a vacuum.

A light platform is suspended from the ceiling by a spring. A student with a mass of 90 kg climbs onto the platform. When it sto
Ilya [14]
Refer to the diagram shown.

When the student climbs onto the platform, the spring stretches by 0.82 m to reach the equilibrium position.
The mass of the student is m = 90 kg, so his weight is
mg = (90 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 882 N

By definition, the spring constant is
k = (882 N)/(0.82 m) = 1075.6 N/m

When the spring is stretched by x from the equilibrium position, the restoring force is
F = - k*x.

If damping is ignored, the equation of motion is
F = m * acceleration
or
m \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} = -kx \\ \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} + \frac{k}{m} x = 0

Define ω² = k/m = 11.751 => ω = 3.457.
Then the solution of the ODE is
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt) + c₂ sin(ωt)

x'(t) = -c₁ω sin(ωwt) + c₂ω cos(ωt)
When t=0, x' =0, therefore c₂ = 0

The solution is of the form
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt)
When t = 0, x = 0.32 m. Therefore c₁ = 0.32

The motion is
x(t) = 0.32 cos(3.457t)
The single amplitude is 0.32 m, and the double amplitude is 0.64 m.

Answer: 
0.32 m (single amplitude), or
0.64 m (double amplitude)

The four terrestrial planets are so called because they ?
velikii [3]
Well, you need no look further than the word "terrestrial" If you notice the beginning of the word you notice that it consists mostly of the word "terra" Terra by definition is just land. Due to the solid land of these 4 planets, they're called terrestrial planets, the other 4 aren't made of land but of gas which is why they aren't classified as terrestrial planets.

Why is silicon needed in solar panels?
kodGreya [7K]
Hi, silicon is essential in solar panels because, silicon is a semiconductor material (meaning a solid substance that has a conductivity of an insulator and is an essential component of most electric circuits ) now, when dipped with impurities such as gallium and arsenic it has the ability to capture the suns energy and convert to electricity. hope this is helpful if it is than put a thank you plz.
