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

Two cars collide and come to a complete stop. where did all of their energy go?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Most of the energy will be absorbed by the materials that make up the cars, causing them to deform. The energy will also be converted into sound energy, causing a loud bang upon collision. Also, some energy will be converted to thermal energy, which will cause the cars to heat up slightly.

What is the speed of a car that traveled 500 meter in 30 seconds?
GenaCL600 [577]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

To find speed, you need to remember the formula:

Speed = distance ÷ time

So plug the given values in:

500 ÷ 30 = 16.66

<h3>So the speed is 16.66m/s (metres per second)</h3>
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

8. What is the frequency of green light waves that have a wavelength of 5.2 x 10-7 m.? The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s
o-na [289]

Answer:

f=5.76\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Explanation:

We need to find the frequency of green light having wavelength o5.2\times 10^{-7}\ m. It can be calculated as follows :

c=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{5.2\times 10^{-7}}\\\\f=5.76\times 10^{14}\ Hz

So, the required frequency of green light is equal to 5.76\times 10^{14}\ Hz.
