A mass weighting 48 lbs stretches a spring 6 inches. The mass is in a medium that exerts a viscous resistance of 27 lbs when the

mass has a velocity of 6 ft/sec. Suppose the object is displaced an additional 6 inches and released.
Required:
a. Find an equation for the object's displacement, u(t), in feet after t seconds.
b. What is the mass of the object?
c. What is the damping coefficient?
d. What is the spring constant?

Answer:

a)

u(t)=0.499ft.e^{-\frac{144.76lb/s}{2(48lb)}t}cos(\omega t)\\\\u(t)=0.499ft.e^{-1.5t}cos(\omega t)

b)

m = 48lb

c)

b = 144.76lb

Explanation:

The general equation of a damping oscillate motion is given by:

u(t)=u_oe^{-\frac{b}{2m}t}cos(\omega t-\alpha)    (1)

uo: initial position

m: mass of the block

b: damping coefficient

w: angular frequency

α: initial phase

a. With the information given in the statement you replace the values of the parameters in (1). But first, you calculate the constant b by using the information about the viscous resistance force:

|F_{vis}|=bv\\\\b=\frac{|F_{vis}|}{v}\\\\|F_{vis}|=27lbs=27*32.17ft.lb/s^2=868.59ft.lb/s^2\\\\b=\frac{868.59}{6}lb/s=144.76lb/s

Then, you obtain by replacing in (1):

6in = 0.499 ft

u(t)=0.499ft.e^{-\frac{144.76lb/s}{2(48lb)}t}cos(\omega t)\\\\u(t)=0.499ft.e^{-1.5t}cos(\omega t)

b.

mass, m = 48lb

c.

b = 144.76 lb/s

Describe the transformation of mechanical energy in a ball when it is thrown straight up and then comes back down
zhenek [66]
I believe that the mechanical energy would transform from starting out as kinetic, the reaching the top it would be potential, then go back to kinetic as it is falling back down.


I'm not 100% sure that this is right but if I had to take a guess this is what I would say.

Which planet orbits in a different plane than all of the others?
coldgirl [10]

Although they're all 'close', none of the planets orbits in the same plane as any other planet.  They're all in slightly different planes.

The farthest out compared to all the others is Pluto, with an orbit inclined about 17 degrees compared to the ecliptic plane (Earth's orbit).  But Pluto is officially not a planet, so I don't think it's a good answer.

The next greatest inclination compared to Earth's orbit is <em>Mercury</em>.  That one is about 7 degrees.

The other six planets are all in different orbital planes inclined less than 7 degrees compared to Earth's orbit.

An 8.0-ohm resistor and a 6.0-ohm resistor are connected in series with a battery. The potential difference across the 6.0-ohm r
ipn [44]

Answer:

a) 14 Ω

b) 2.0 A

c) 28 V

Explanation:

a) The total resistance of resistors in series is the sum:

R = R₁ + R₂

R = 8.0 Ω + 6.0 Ω

R = 14 Ω

b) The current in the 6.0 Ω resistor can be found with Ohm's law:

V = IR

12 V = I (6.0 Ω)

I = 2.0 A

c) Since the resistors are in series, they have the same current.  So the total voltage is:

V = IR

V = (2.0 A) (14 Ω)

V = 28 V

The brick wall (of thermal conductivity 1.12 W/m · ◦ C) of a building has dimensions of 2.8 m by 5 m and is 8 cm thick. How much
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

If H be the heat flowing in time t through an area of A having thickness d

H = k A x ( θ₂ - θ₁ ) t / d  , k is thermal conductivity , ( θ₂ - θ₁ ) is temperature difference of walls

putting the given values

= (1.12 x 2.8x 5 x 9 x 16.7 x 60 x 60) / .08

= 1.06 x 10⁸ J .

A glass of root beer with a scoop of ice cream floating on top and a straw sticking out.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

These forces are all equal and cancel each other out. Gravity pushes downward on the ice cream. This can also be called the weight of the ice cream. Buoyant force pushes the ice cream upward
