A mass of 3 slugs (this is the English unit of mass, a pound is a force) is attached to a vertical spring with a spring constant

k = 9 lbs/ft. The spring has a dampening constant of Beta = 6lbs * s/ft. The mass is pulled 1 ft below its equilibrium position and released. Determine the equation of motion for the mass.

Answer:

equation of motion for the mass is x(t) = e^αt ( C1 cos √{α² - ω²} t + C2 sin  √{α² - ω²} t )

Explanation:

Given data

mass = 3 slugs = 3 * 32.14 = 96.52 lbs

constant k = 9 lbs/ft

Beta = 6lbs * s/ft

mass is pulled =  1 ft below

to find out

equation of motion for the mass

solution

we know that The mass is pulled 1 ft below so

we will apply here differential equation of free motion i.e

dx²/dt² + 2 α dx/dt + ω² x =0     ........................1

here 2 α  =  Beta / mass

so 2 α  = 6 / 96.52

α  = 0.031

α²  = 0.000961         ...............2

and

ω² = k/mass

ω² = 9 /96.52

ω² = 0.093     ..................3

we can say that from equation 2 and 3 that α² - ω²  = -0.092239

this is less than zero

so differential equation is

x(t) = e^αt ( C1 cos √{α² - ω²} t + C2 sin  √{α² - ω²} t )

equation of motion for the mass is x(t) = e^αt ( C1 cos √{α² - ω²} t + C2 sin  √{α² - ω²} t )

As part of previous adventures, formerly conjoined identical twin, Sue, is now 13.4 years younger than her identical twin Lou. (
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Difference in Twin's Ages = 12.68 years

Explanation:

Using special theory of relativity's time dilation phenomenon, we first find the time that is passed on earth during Lou's trip.

t = t₀/[√(1 - v²/c²)]

where,

t = time measured by the person in relative motion = 1 year

t₀ = time measured by the person at rest = ?

v = speed of relative motion = 0.96 c

c = speed of light  

Therefore,

1 year = t₀/[√(1 - 0.96² c²/c²)]

1 year = t₀/[√(1 - 0.9216)]

(1 year)(0.28 year) = t₀

t₀ = 0.28 year

Let,

y = Sue's age

x = Lou's age

so,

x - y = 13.4 years

but, after this trip Lou has aged 1 year, and on earth only 0.28 years passed so, Sue has aged only 0.28 years. Therefore,

x = x + 1

y = y + 0.28

Therefore,

(x + 1 year) - (y + 0.28 year) = 13.4 years

x - y = 13.4 years - 0.72 year

x - y = 12.68 years

<u>Difference in Twin's Ages = 12.68 years</u>

Why do people make this to the seashore?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Protecting the Seashore

Seashore Conservation Code

When investigating a seashore it is important to remember that the welfare of the plants and animals must come first. If seaweeds are attached to rocks do not try to pull them off, just examine them where they are growing. Handle animals with great care, returning them to the place where they were found. Anemones and limpets are normally firmly stuck to rocks and any attempt to remove them may result in their death. Replace any large stones that are removed – animals that live on the underside soon die if left exposed.

Pollution Problems

Seas and seashores are under continual threat from pollution. Here are some examples:-

oil rigOil spills, either accidental or deliberate, have a devastating effect on marine life, especially seabirds. Black tar-like oil washed up on a rocky shore would obviously completely destroy the entire community of living things. Chemicals used to disperse oil spills on a shore may effectively clean up the oil, but they can also cleanse the shore of life! The best policy for marine life is to physically remove as much oil as possible and leave the rest to degrade naturally. A rocky shore will recover much more quickly if chemicals are not used.

Sewage and litter also upsets seashore ecosystem, making them unsightly and perhaps contaminated. Some litter can be dangerous to wildlife.

Toxic chemicals and radioactive waste - a cocktail of toxic chemicals have found their way into the sea over the years, affecting both marine and human life. For many years potentially deadly radioactive waste from nuclear power stations and other sources was disposed of in the sea, and beaches have been contaminated by accidental leakages from nuclear power stations.

Difference between boyles law, charles law, and gay-lussacs law​
lesya [120]

Answer:

All these laws give the relationship between two quantities of the gas among V (volume), p (pressure) and T (temperature), keeping the third one constant - however the two quantities change for each law

Explanation:

Calling:

p = gas pressure

V = gas volume

T = gas temperature (in Kelvin)

We have:

- Boyle's law: the pressure and the volume of a gas kept at constant temperature are inversely proportional. Mathematically,

pV=const.

- Charles's law: the temperature and the volume of a gas kept at constant pressure are directly proportional. Mathematically,

\frac{V}{T}=const.

- Gay Lussac's law: the temperature and the pressure of a gas kept at constant volume are directly proportional. Mathematically,

\frac{p}{T}=const.

According to Lenz's law, the current is induced in the closed conducting loop in such a direction that the magnetic field induce
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

It is true that the real definition of lenz's law in magnetism is the current is induced in the closed conducting loop in such a direction that the magnetic field induced by this current opposes the change in the flux through the loop.

This means that induced current opposes the very cause that produces it.
