Answer:

-8

Explanation:

Given data:

Weight W = 16 lb

length l = 6/12 = 0.5 ft

hence, spring constant  k = W/l = 16/0.5 = 32 lb/ft

The equation of motion of spring is

mx''+cx+kx=0\\0.5x''+cx'+32x=0

the auxiliary equation can be written as

0.5r^2+cr+32=0\\r^2+2cr+64=0

The discriminate of equation is

D =(2c)^2+-4(1)(64)\\=4(c^2-64)

To get the value of the damping constant,

D

What does the scientific method help test in environmental science?
horsena [70]

Answer:

The scientific method is a method of research with defined steps that include experiments and careful observation. One of the most important aspects of this method is the testing of hypotheses by means of repeatable experiments. A hypothesis is a suggested explanation for an event, which can be tested.

An elevator held by a single cable is ascending but slowing down. Is the work done by tension positive, negative, or zero? What
inessss [21]

Explanation:

1.) Work = Force*Distance

2.) The direction of motion lies in the same direction as the tension in the cable. So the work done by tension would be positive.

3.) The direction of the weight (due to gravity) would act opposite to the direction of motion of the elevator, so work done by gravity becomes negative.
