Answer: hello question b is incomplete attached below is the missing question
a) attached below
b) V = 0.336 ft/s
Explanation:
Elongation ( Xo) = 16/ 7 feet
mass attached to 4-foot spring = 16 pounds
medium has 9/2 times instanteous velocity
<u>a) Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 2 ft/s</u>
The motion is an underdamped motion because the value of β < Wo
Wo = 3.741 s^-1
attached below is a detailed solution of the question
the answer is C
IGNORW irritating but not even on the golden bath bath and
Halflife is the time taken by a radioactive substance by half its original mass. In this case the half life of the substance is 3 hours.
Therefore; New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n where n is the number of half lives. In this case, the half life is 3 hours and therefore; the number of half lives in 6 hours will be two.
= if the original mass is 100%
new mass = 100 × (1/2)^2
= 100 × 1/4 = 25%
The remaining mass will be 1/4 of the original mass, meaning a fraction of 3/4 of the initial mass will have decayed.
Thus; the answer is 3/4
