A mass weighing 4 pounds is attached to a spring whose constant is 2 lb/ft. The medium offers a damping force that is numericall

y equal to the instantaneous velocity. The mass is initially released from a point 1 foot above the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 6 ft/s. Determine the time at which the mass passes through the equilibrium position. (Use g = 32 ft/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)

Answer:

t = 025 s

Explanation:

We know

weight, W =  4 pounds

spring constant, k = 2 lb/ft

Positive damping, β = 1

Therefore mass,  m =  W / g

                             m = 4 / 32

                                  = 1 / 8 slug

From Newtons 2nd law

\frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}=-kx-\beta .\frac{dx}{dt}

where x(t) is the displacement from the mean or equilibrium position. The equation can be written as

\frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}+\frac{\beta }{m}.\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{k}{m}x=0

Substituting the values, the DE becomes

\frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}+8\frac{dx}{dt}+16x=0

Now the equation is

m^{2}+8m+16=0

and on solving the roots are

m_{1} = m_{2} = -4

Therefore the general solution is x(t)=e^{-4t}\left ( c_{1}+c_{2}t \right )

Now for initial condition x(0) = -1 ft

                                        x'(0)= 8 ft/s

Now we can find the equation of motion becomes,

x(t)=e^{-4t}\left ( -1+4t \right )

Therefore, the mass passes through the equilibrium when

x(t) = 0

e^{-4t}\left ( -1+4t \right ) = 0

-1+4t = 0

t = \frac{1}{4}

  = 0.25 s

Heat in the amount of 100 kJ is transferred directly from a hot reservoir at 1320 K to a cold reservoir at 600 K. Calculate the
Zinaida [17]

Answer:0.0909 kJ/K

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of hot Reservoir T_h=1320 K

Temperature of cold Reservoir T_l=600 K

Heat of 100 kJ is transferred form hot reservoir to cold reservoir

Hot Reservoir is Rejecting heat therefore Q_1=-100 kJ

Heat is added to Reservoir therefore Q_2=100 kJ

Entropy change for system

\Delta s=\frac{Q_1}{T_1}+\frac{Q_2}{T_2}

\Delta s=\frac{-100}{1320}+\frac{100}{600}

\Delta s=-0.0757+0.1666=0.0909 kJ/K

As entropy change is Positive therefore entropy Principle is satisfied

The answer is letter A. meteorite bombardment.
During the Earth's earliest beginning, it went through a period of catastrophic and intense formation. By 3-8- 4.1 billion years ago, Earth's atmosphere was never the same as today. This is because of its formation during the pre-Cambrian period whereby t<span>he Earth formed under so much heat and pressure that it formed as a molten planet.
</span>

Earth was bombarded continuously by the remnants of the dust and debris — like asteroids, meteors and comets — until it formed into a solid sphere, pulled into orbit around the sun and began to cool down during the Hellish period (4.5 to 3.8 billion years ago).

A solid sphere of weight 42.0 N rolls up an incline at an angle of 36.0°. At the bottom of the incline the center of mass of the
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Part a)

KE = 77.95 J

Part b)

L = 3.16 m

Part c)

distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that rotational kinetic energy of the sphere is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}I\omega_2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

so we will have

KE = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}mR^2)(\frac{v}{R})^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

so we will have

KE = \frac{1}{5} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

KE = \frac{7}{10} mv^2

KE = \frac{7}{10}(\frac{42}{9.81})(5.10^2)

KE = 77.95 J

Part b)

By mechanical energy conservation law we know that

Work done against gravity = initial kinetic energy of the sphere

So we will have

mgLsin\theta = KE

\frac{42}{9.81}(9.81)L sin36 = 77.95

L = 3.16 m

Part c)

by equation of energy conservation we know that

\frac{7}{10}mv^2 = mgL sin\theta

so here we can see that distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere

What is a warming sign that suggest a weight loss plan is a fad diet rather than a healthy weight loss plan?
Serga [27]

Answer:

Warming signs before fad diet includes:

1. When a special type of diet is recommended for weight loss.

2. When quick weight loss is promised instead of advice on the need to exercise, eat healthy foods including fruits and vegetables, and adopt a good feeding behavior.

3. Promises rapid weight loss in a short period of time.

After taking the fad diet the following might be experienced:

1. Constipation.

2. Weakness and fatigue.

3. More accumulation of fats in the body in the long run after a short term normal  BMI (Body mass index).

4. Lower metabolic rates over time.

Explanation:

weight loss is a practice adopted by people for various reasons ranging from the desire to stay healthy to, ability to pursue a career that requires a good Body Mass Index. For instance, A BMI (Body mass index) which is equal to a person's weight (kg) / (height(m))^2 of 30 and higher is considered obese.

Fad diet which may give a temporary result of weight loss is not considered totally healthy as it doesn't capture the need to eat a healthy balanced diet instead focuses on more routine consumption of a particular kind of diet.

A healthy weight loss plan captures the need to exercise, reduce body fats while eating healthy. Eating fruits, vegetables are also encouraged.
