A hollow steel ball weighing 4 pounds is suspended from a spring. This stretches the spring 1515 feet. The ball is started in mo

tion from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 88 feet per second. The air resistance (in pounds) of the moving ball numerically equals 4 times its velocity (in feet per second) . Suppose that after t seconds the ball is y feet below its rest position. Find y in terms of t. (Note that the positive direction is down.) Take as the gravitational acceleration 32 feet per second per second.

Answer:

\mathbf{y(t) =0.408e^{-6.20t }-0.408e^{-25.80t}}}

Explanation:

Given that:

The weight of ball = 4 pounds

The spring stretch  x = 1/15 feet

Using the relation of weight on an object:

W = mg

m = W/g

m = 4 / 32

m = 1/8

Now, from Hooke's law:

F = kx

4 =k(1/5)

k = 20 lb/ft

However, since the air resistance is 4 times the velocity;

Then, we can say:

C = 4

Now, for the damped vibration in the spring-mass system, we have:

m\dfrac{d^2 y}{dx^2}+ c\dfrac{dy}{dt}+ky = 0

(\dfrac{1}{8})\dfrac{d^2 y}{dx^2}+ 4\dfrac{dy}{dt}+20y = 0

\dfrac{d^2 y}{dx^2}+ 32\dfrac{dy}{dt}+160y = 0

Solving the differential equation:

m² + 32m + 160 = 0

Solving the equation:

m = -25.80 or m = -6.20

So, the general solution for the equation is:

y (t)= c_1 e^{-6.20t}+c_2e^{-25.80t}

y '(t)=-6.20 c_1 e^{-6.20t}-25.80c_2e^{-25.80t}

y(0) = 0   ;  y'(0) = 8

y (0)= c_1 e^{-6.20(0)}+c_2e^{-25.80(0)}

c_1 +c_2 = 0 ---(1)

At y'(0) = 8

y '(0)=-6.20 c_1 e^{-6.20(0)}-25.80c_2e^{-25.80(0)} \\ \\ 8=-6.20 c_1 e^{0}-25.80c_2e^{0} \\ \\ 8=-6.20 c_1 -25.80c_2--- (2)

From (1), let c_1 = -c_2, then replace the value of c_1 into equation (2)

8=-6.20 (-c_2)-25.80c_2

8=6.20c_2-25.80c_2

8=-19.60c_2

c_2=\dfrac{ 8}{-19.60}

c_2 = -0.408

From c_1 = -c_2

c_1 = -(-0.408)

c_1 = 0.408

∴

The required solution in terms of t is:

\mathbf{y(t) =0.408e^{-6.20t }-0.408e^{-25.80t}}}

Valentin [98]

Answer:

mass conservation is valid for all closed system where the mass will remain in the system always

Explanation:

Conservation of mass is applicable everywhere in classical physics

Here we can also apply mass conservation as we know that the initially the beaker and its water content is having total mass of 109.44 g

m_1 = 109.44 g

now when we heated it to higher temperature then its total mass will be lesser than the initial mass this is because some of the water may evaporate from the system.

Here if we repeat the same experiment with closed boundary then we can see that total mass will be conserved

So here mass conservation is valid for all closed system where the mass will remain in the system always

What should be the spring constant k of a spring designed to bring a 1200 kg car to rest from a speed of 85 km/h so that the occ
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

k = 5178.8 N/m

Explanation:

As we know that spring mass system will oscillate at angular frequency given as

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

now we have

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{1200}}

now the maximum acceleration of the spring block system is at its maximum compression state which is given as

a = \omega^2 A

here A= maximum compression of the spring

so here in order to find maximum compression of the spring we will use energy conservation as we know that initial total kinetic energy of the car will convert into spring potential energy

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}kA^2

here we know that

v = 85 km/h

v = 85 \times\frac{1000}{3600} = 23.61 m/s

now we have

(1200)(23.61^2) = kA^2

A^2 = \frac{6.68 \times 10^5}{k}

now from above equation of acceleration we have

5.0 g = (\frac{k}{m})\sqrt{\frac{6.68 \times 10^5}{k}}

5.0(9.81) = \sqrt{k}(0.68)

k = 5178.8 N/m

Wo siblings are arguing over what way to pull a 10 kg wagon. Boris wants to pull it to the right. Boris puts 220 N of force on t
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

a) Then net force acting on the wagon  30 [N] in a negative direction to the left

b)Acceleration of the wagon 3 m/s² in a negative direction to the left

Explanation:

The coordinates x and y show the positive direction in x-axis ( to the right) and negative direction to the left. In north-south direction positive y values are to the north and negative values to the south

The free-body diagram shows 4 forces acting

In y-axis:

The weight ( P = m*g =  10 [kg]*9,8 [m/s²] = 98 [N] negative

Normal reaction force  Fn = P = 98 [N]  positive ( surface is frictionless)

∑Fy = 0     P - Fn = 0     P = Fn  = 98 [N]

In x-axis:

Boris pulling force to the right (positive ) 220 [N]

Natasha pulling force to the left ( negative) 250 [N]

∑Fx = m*a

220 [N] - 250 [N]  = 10 Kg * a                      [N] = Kg * m /s²

-30 [kg*m/s²]  = 10 * Kg * a

-30/10  =  - 3  m/s²  = a

Sign (-) means the direction of acceleration vector is to the left (the same direction of the movement )

Then net force acting on the wagon  30 [N] in negative direction to the left

Acceleration of the wagon 3 m/s² in negative direction to the left
