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}}}

The red, yellow, and green wavelengths of sunlight are absorbed by water molecules in the ocean. ... In coastal areas, runoff from rivers, resuspension of sand and silt from the bottom by tides, waves and storms and a number of other substances can change the color of the near-shore waters.

What is the relation between force and acceleration ?​
stepladder [879]

Explanation:

Newton's second law shows that there is a direct relation ship between force and acceleration . the grater force that is applied on a object of given mass the more the accelerate. for example doubling the force in the object doubles it's acceleration.
