A spring with spring constant 11.5 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A 490 g ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to res

t. It is then pulled down 6.70 cm and released.
What is the time constant if the ball's amplitude has decreased to 2.20 cm after 30.0 oscillations?

Answer:

The time constant is \tau = 17.5 \ s    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The spring constant is  k = 11.5 \  N/m

   The mass  of the ball is  m_b  = 490 \ g  = 0.49 \ kg

   The amplitude of the  oscillation t the beginning is x =  6.70 cm = 0.067 \  m

    The amplitude after time t is  x_t = 2.20 cm = 0.022 \  m

    The number of oscillation is N  = 30

Generally the time taken to attain the second amplitude is mathematically represented as

       t  = N  *  T                                            Here  T is the period of oscillation

         t = N * 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

=>     t = 30 * 2 * 3.142 *  \sqrt{\frac{ 0.490}{11.5} }

=>     t = 38.88 \  s

Generally the amplitude at time t is mathematically represented as

         x(t) = x e^{-\frac{at}{2m} }

Here a is the damping  constant so

 at  t = 38.88 \  s ,  x_t = 2.20 cm = 0.022 \  m

So  

     0.022 = 0.067 e^{-\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }

=>  0.3284 = e^{-\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }

taking natural log of both sides

=>  ln(0.3284 ) = -\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }    

=>   a = 0.028

Generally the time constant is mathematically represented as

    \tau = \frac{m}{a}      

=> \tau = \frac{0.490}{  0.028}    

=> \tau = 17.5 \ s

Describe what happens to the particles of water when it boils.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The liquid turns to a gas.

Explanation:

If a liquid is heated the particles are given more energy and move faster and faster expanding the liquid. Particles in the middle of the liquid form bubbles of gas in the liquid.

_________ changes from day to day, while ____________ changes from region to region. A) climate, weather B) weather, climate C)
vladimir2022 [97]

B) Weather changes day to day, while climate changes region to region.

Climate is the weather in a certain area. It's usually the average weather over a long period of time

Weather is in shorter terms then climate

Hope this helped!

A miniature quadcopter is located at x = -2.25 m and y, - 5.70 matt - 0 and moves with an average velocity having components Vv,
kupik [55]

Recall that average velocity is equal to change in position over a given time interval,

\vec v_{\rm ave} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec r}{\Delta t}

so that the <em>x</em>-component of \vec v_{\rm ave} is

\dfrac{x_2 - (-2.25\,\mathrm m)}{1.60\,\mathrm s} = 2.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

and its <em>y</em>-component is

\dfrac{y_2 - 5.70\,\mathrm m}{1.60\,\mathrm s} = -2.50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

Solve for x_2 and y_2, which are the <em>x</em>- and <em>y</em>-components of the copter's position vector after <em>t</em> = 1.60 s.

x_2 = -2.25\,\mathrm m + \left(2.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(1.60\,\mathrm s) \implies \boxed{x_2 = 2.07\,\mathrm m}

y_2 = 5.70\,\mathrm m + \left(-2.50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(1.60\,\mathrm s) \implies \boxed{y_2 = 1.70\,\mathrm m}

Note that I'm reading the given details as

x_1 = -2.25\,\mathrm m \\\\ y_1 = -5.70\,\mathrm m \\\\ v_x = 2.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\\\\ v_y=-2.50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

so if any of these are incorrect, you should make the appropriate adjustments to the work above.
