A mass of 0.75 kilograms is attached to a spring/mass oscillator. A force of 5 newtons is required to stretch the spring 0.5 met

ers. The mass is in a medium that exerts a damping force numerically equivalent to b multiplied by the instantaneous velocity. Write an inequality (using exact values) that describes the values of 'b' for which the system will be overdamped.

Answer:

b > 66.41 kg/s

Explanation:

The spring force F = -kx, where k = spring constant, the damping force f = -bv. The net force F' = F + f

F + f = ma

-kx - bv = ma

-kx -bdx/dt = md²x/dt².

Re-arranging the equation, we have

So, md²x/dt² + bdx/dt + kx = 0

Dividing through by m, we have

d²x/dt² + (b/m)dx/dt + (k/m)x = 0

This is a second-order differential equation. The characteristic equation is thus,

D² + (b/m)D + (k/m) = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we find D.

D = \frac{-(b/m) +/- \sqrt{(b/m)^{2} - 4k/m} }{2}

For an overdamped system,

(b/m)^{2} - 4k/m} >   0

(b/m)^{2} >   4k/m}\\(b/m) >   \sqrt{4k/m}} \\(b/m) >   2\sqrt{k/m}} \\b >   2\sqrt{km}}

Now, k = F/x. Since the weight of the object causes the spring to stretch a distance of 0.5 m, k = mg/x where m = mass of object = 0.75 kg, g = 9.8 m/s² and x = x₀ =0.5 m.

Substituting k = mg/x into the inequality for b, we have

b > 2√{(mg/x₀)m}

b > 2√{(m²g/x₀)}

b > 2m√{g/x₀)}

b > 2 × 0.75 kg√{9.8 m/s²/0.5 m)}

b > 1.5 kg√{19.6/s²)}

b > 1.5 kg × 4.427/s

b > 66.41 kg/s

The magnet has an unchanging magnetic field: very strong near the magnet, and weak far from the magnet. How did the magnetic fie
STatiana [176]

Answer:

<em>The magnetic field through the coil at first increases steadily up to its maximum value, and then decreases gradually to its minimum value.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

At first, the magnet fall towards the coils;  inducing a gradually increasing magnetic field through the coil as it falls into the coil. At the instance when half the magnet coincides with the coil, the magnetic field magnitude on the coil is at its maximum value. When the magnet falls pass the coil towards the floor, the magnetic field then starts to decrease gradually from a strong magnitude to a weak magnitude.

This action creates a changing magnetic flux around the coil. The result is that an induced current is induced in the coil, and the induced current in the coil will flow in such a way as to oppose the action of the falling magnet. This is based on lenz law that states that the induced current acts in such a way as to oppose the motion or the action that produces it.

An athlete in a gym applies a constant force of 50 N to the pedals of a bicycle to keep the rotation rate of the wheel at 10 rev
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Force applied to pedal F = 50N

Angular velocity ω = 10rev/s

We know that, 1rev = 2πrad

Then, ω = 10rev/s = 10×2π rad/s

ω = 20π rad/s

Length of pedal r = 30cm = 0.3m

Power?

Power is given as

P = τ×ω

We need to find the torque τ

τ = r × F

Since r is perpendicular to F

Then, τ = 0.3 × 50

τ = 15 Nm

Then,

P = τ×ω

P = 15 × 20π

P = 942.48 Watts

power delivered to the bicycle by the athlete is 942.48 W

gladu [14]

Wind Energy is the kind of energy will Cassie uses to power the boat.

What is wind energy?

The method of producing electricity using air or wind currents that naturally occur in the earth's atmosphere is known as wind energy (or wind power). Electricity is produced by modern wind turbines that harness the kinetic energy of the wind. Wind passing across the turbine's blades is the initial step.

What is the major problem with wind energy?

Wind energy has the potential to have negative environmental effects, including the possibility of reducing, fragmenting, or deteriorating habitat for wildlife, fish, and plants, as with all energy supply choices. Furthermore, flying animals like birds and bats may be harmed by turbine blades in operation.
