Dependent variable is time

Explanation:

The dependent variable is the variable that is affected by a change in parameters or the condition. It is usually the effect of some experimental process.

Here, the time at which the ball comes to halt depends on the nature of the surface.

The surface is the independent variable, it more like the cause.

In this experiment different surfaces would be used in order to find the time at which the ball comes to a stop.

A mass weighing 24 pounds, attached to the end of a spring, stretches it 4 inches. Initially, the mass is released from rest fro

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The equation of motion is $x(t)=-$ $\frac{1}{3} cos4\sqrt{6t}$

Explanation:

Lets calculate

The weight attached to the spring is 24 pounds

Acceleration due to gravity is $32ft/s^2$

Assume x , is spring stretched length is ,4 inches

Converting the length inches into feet $x=\frac{4}{12} =\frac{1}{3}feet$

The weight (W=mg) is balanced by restoring force ks at equilibrium position

mg=kx

$W=kx$ ⇒ $k=\frac{W}{x}$

The spring constant , $k=\frac{24}{1/3}$

= 72

If the mass is displaced from its equilibrium position by an amount x, then the differential equation is

$m\frac{d^2x}{dt} +kx=0$

$\frac{3}{4} \frac{d^2x}{dt} +72x=0$

$\frac{d^2x}{dt} +96x=0$

Auxiliary equation is, $m^2+96=0$

$m=\sqrt{-96}$

= $\frac{+}{} i4\sqrt{6}$

Thus , the solution is $x(t)=c_1cos4\sqrt{6t}+c_2sin4\sqrt{6t}$

$x'(t)=-4\sqrt{6c_1} sin4\sqrt{6t}+c_2$ $4\sqrt{6}$ $cos4\sqrt{6t}$

The mass is released from the rest x'(0) = 0

$=-4\sqrt{6c_1} sin4\sqrt{6(0)}+c_2$ $4\sqrt{6}$ $cos4\sqrt{6(0)}$ =0

$c_2$ $4\sqrt{6} =0$

$c_2=0$

Therefore , $x(t)=c_1$ $cos 4\sqrt{6t}$

Since , the mass is released from the rest from 4 inches

$x(0)= -4$ inches

$c_1 cos 4\sqrt{6(0)} =-\frac{4}{12}$ feet

$c_1=-\frac{1}{3}$ feet

Therefore , the equation of motion is $-\frac{1}{3} cos4\sqrt{6t}$

The property of matter that determines the direction of heat flow is the

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Temperature

Explanation:

The heat flows from high temperature to low temperature.So we can say that temperature is the property that decide the direction of heat flow.Like in the electric system current flow high voltage to low voltage ,so we can say that voltage is the property which determine the direction of current flow.

So the answer is Temperature.

Dependent variable and the independent variable is ?

koban [17]

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable. An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific
