Answer:

a change of position in relation to another object.

Explanation:

Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point.

This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.

A reference point refers to a location or physical object from which the motion (movement) of another physical object or body can be determined.

Mathematically, the motion of an object is described in terms of acceleration, time, distance, speed, velocity, displacement, position, etc.

Hence, motion is a change of position in relation to another object.

A force of 9 pounds stretches a spring 1 foot. A mass weighing 6.4 pounds is attached to the spring, and the system is then imme

mart [117]

Answer:

$\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{\beta}{m}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{k}{m}x=0$

Explanation:

let $m$ be the mass attached, let $k$ be the spring constant and let $\beta$ be the positive damping constant.

-By Newton's second law:

$m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-kx-\beta \frac{dx}{dt}$

where $x(t)$ is the displacement from equilibrium position. The equation can be transformed into:

$\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{\beta}{m}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{k}{m}x=0$ shich is the equation of motion.

If a 60-watt bulb is used to light a room, how much current is flowing through the bulb given that the voltage is 120 volts?

Pavel [41]

Well, if I understand correctly, I think it'd be 60, because 60+60= 120, but I may be wrong. It's not my best subject, but why not try to help even though I suck lol.

2. Below what depth would a submarine have to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves with a wavelength of 24 m

Travka [436]

<u>Answer:</u> Below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves

<u>Explanation:</u>

To avoid the surface waves, a submarine has to submerge below the wave base. It is the position below which the motion of the waves is negligible.

This wave base is equal to half of the wavelength. The equation becomes:

Wave base = $\frac{\text{Wavelength}}{2}$
