Answer: the amount of mass is oscillating is 34.8 kg

Explanation:

Given that;

amplitude A = 20.0 cm

time t = 10 s

amplitude decreases x = 15.0 cm

damping coefficient b = 2.00 N.s/m

amount of mass is oscillating = ?

we know that; amplitude can be expressed as;

x = Ae^-(∝t)

we substitute

15 = 20e^-∝(10)

∝ = 0.02877 s⁻¹

Hence mass m will be;

m = b/2∝

we substitute

m = (2 N.s/m) / ( 2 × 0.02877 s⁻¹)

m = 34.8 kg

Therefore the amount of mass is oscillating is 34.8 kg

A hot air balloon is hovering in the air when it drops a 40 Kg food package to some lost golfers. If the package is dropped from
UNO [17]
We can calculate this with the law of conservation of energy. Here we have a food package with a mass m=40 kg, that is in the height h=500 m and all of it's energy is potential. When it is dropped, it's potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. So we can say that its kinetic and potential energy are equal, because we are neglecting air resistance:

Ek=Ep, where Ek=(1/2)*m*v² and Ep=m*g*h, where m is the mass of the body, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the body.

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out and we get:

(1/2)*v²=g*h, and we multiply by 2 both sides of the equation

v²=2*g*h, and we take the square root to get v:

v=√(2*g*h)

v=99.04 m/s

So the package is moving with the speed of v= 99.04 m/s when it hits the ground.

A truck traveling with an initial velocity of 22m/s comes to a stop in 17.32 secs. What is the acceleration of the truck?
Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 22 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 17.32 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

(0 m/s) = a (17.32 s) + (22 m/s)

a = -1.270 m/s²

Round as needed.
