A mass of 150 g stretches a spring 1.568 cm. If the mass is set in motion from its equilibrium position with a downward velocity

of 20 cms, and if there is no damping, determine the position u of the mass at any time t. Enclose arguments of functions in parentheses. For example, sin(2x).

Answer:

u(t)=\frac{1}{5} sin\ (25t)

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of the body stretching the spring, m=150\ g
  • extension in spring, \Delta x=1.568\ cm
  • velocity of oscillation, u'(0)=20\ cm.s^{-1}
  • initial displacement position of equilibrium, u(0)=0

<u>According to given:</u>

m.g=k.\Delta x

150\times 980=k\times 1.568

k=93750\ dyne.cm^{-1}

<u>we know frequency:</u>

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{93750}{150} }

\omega=25

Now, for position of mass in oscillation:

u= A.sin\ (\omega.t)+B.cos\ (\omega.t)

u= A.sin\ (25.t)+B.cos\ (25.t)

at t=0;\ u(0)=0\ \Rightarrow A=0

∴u(t)=B.sin\ (25.t)

∵ at t=0;\ u'(0)=20\ cm.s^{-1}\ \Rightarrow B=\frac{1}{5}

u(t)=\frac{1}{5} sin\ (25t)

What is the average velocity of a dragster that starts from rest at the starting line and finishes a race at 2600 m/s in 12 seco
xxMikexx [17]
Using the equation v(avg)=distance/time 
and the equation v=v(original)+a(t)
solve for acceleration
2600=0+a(12)
a=216.66666 m/s^2

Then, you use the equation
v^2=v(original)+2a*(change in x)
2600^2=2(216.666666)*change in x
6760000/2/216.666666 = 15600 meters which is the length of the race

Then using v(avg)=x/t
15600/12= 1300 m/s

An 8 kilogram bowling ball is rolling in a straight line toward you. if its momentum is 16 kg* m/s, how fast is it traveling ?
morpeh [17]
From the information given, The mass of the bowling ball is 8 Kilograms and the momentum with which it is moving is 16 kg m/s. We use the formula p = m × v Where p is the momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity. We need velocity so we rewrite the equation thus: P = mv, therefore p/m = v or v = p/m In our case p = 16 and m = 8 v = p/m v = 16/8 v = 2 Therefore the bowling ball is travelling at 2m/s
