Only one of the following is possible for a moving object. Which one? The velocity is directed eastward and is decreasing, while
1 answer:
Answer:
The velocity is zero at one instant, and the acceleration is not zero at that instant.
Explanation:
We know that
Where
a is the acceleration of moving object
V is the velocity.
When velocity of object is increasing with time then it means that object is accelerated.
When velocity of object is decreasing with time then it means that object is de-accelerated.
When velocity is constant it means that acceleration of object is zero.
So at particular position the instant velocity of block is zero but acceleration is not zero at that instant.

Refer to the diagram shown.
When the student climbs onto the platform, the spring stretches by 0.82 m to reach the equilibrium position.
The mass of the student is m = 90 kg, so his weight is
mg = (90 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 882 N
By definition, the spring constant is
k = (882 N)/(0.82 m) = 1075.6 N/m
When the spring is stretched by x from the equilibrium position, the restoring force is
F = - k*x.
If damping is ignored, the equation of motion is
F = m * acceleration
or
Define ω² = k/m = 11.751 => ω = 3.457.
Then the solution of the ODE is
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt) + c₂ sin(ωt)
x'(t) = -c₁ω sin(ωwt) + c₂ω cos(ωt)
When t=0, x' =0, therefore c₂ = 0
The solution is of the form
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt)
When t = 0, x = 0.32 m. Therefore c₁ = 0.32
The motion is
x(t) = 0.32 cos(3.457t)
The single amplitude is 0.32 m, and the double amplitude is 0.64 m.
Answer:
0.32 m (single amplitude), or
0.64 m (double amplitude)
