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

As the yeast feeds on sugar it creates carbon dioxide, and as the gas has no place to go it slowly fills the balloon up.

Two carts, one of mass 2m and one of mass m, approach each other with the same speed, v. When the carts collide, they
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: Graph C is the correct option

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, please remember to submit the whole question :)

However, the rest of the question with its corresponding figures is below:

Assume that positive momentum is to the right, which of the following best represents the momentum of the cart of mass m as a function of time before and after the collision?

The initial momentum p_{o} of the cart with mass m (before the collision) is:

p_{o}=-mV (1) Note the negative sign indicates the direction of cart's velocity (to the left, as seen in the first image attached)

On the other hand, the final momentum p_{f} of both carts (after the inelastic collision) is:

p_{f}=(2m+m) V_{f}=3m V_{f} (2)

So, according to this, the correct graph tha best represents the situation is C. Since before the collision the momentum is negative, then both carts slow down after the collision (V_{f}), and taking into account the linear momentum is directly proportional to the velocity p_{f} (although is in the positive direction) is less than p_{o}.

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other wor
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Part a)

v = 16.52 m/s

Part b)

v = 7.47 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

(a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially

So here we can use momentum conservation as the net force on the system of two masses will be zero

so here we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = (m_1 + m_2)v

since this is a perfect inelastic collision so after collision both balls will move together with same speed

so here we can say

v = \frac{(m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i})}{(m_1 + m_2)}

v = \frac{(8.4\times 24 + 3.8\times 0)}{3.8 + 8.4}

v = 16.52 m/s

Part b)

(b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially

here also we can use momentum conservation as the net force on the system of two masses will be zero

so here we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = (m_1 + m_2)v

Again this is a perfect inelastic collision so after collision both balls will move together with same speed

so here we can say

v = \frac{(m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i})}{(m_1 + m_2)}

v = \frac{(8.4\times 0 + 3.8\times 24)}{3.8 + 8.4}

v = 7.47 m/s

Describe the differences between a plum pudding model and a nuclear model.
sleet_krkn [62]
The plum pudding model, which has been abandoned since the discovery of the nucleus, stated that electrons were embedded in a "mush" of positive material. The nuclear model says they are placed around a central nucleus.
