A student thinks that any real vibration must be damped. Is the student correct? If so, give convincing reasoning. If not, give

an example of a real vibration that keeps constant amplitude forever if the system is isolated.

Stels [109]3 years ago

Answer:

Yes the student is correct

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy (disorderliness) of an isolated system always increases

Therefore, whereby energy is not supplied to maintain the orderly oscillatory motion with constant amplitude, the amplitude of the system is bound to reduce with time that is the vibration of the system must be damped

Two boxes sit side by side on a smooth horizontal surface. The lighter box 5.2 kg, the heavier box has a mass of 7.4kg (a) find
Paladinen [302]

OK.  So you're pushing on the small box, and on the other side of it, the small
box is pushing on the big box. So you're actually pushing both of them.

-- The total mass that you're pushing is (5.2 + 7.4) = 12.6 kg.

-- You're pushing it with 5.0N of force.

-- Acceleration of the whole thing = (force)/(mass) = 5/12.6 = <em>0.397 m/s²</em> (rounded)

-- Both boxes accelerate at the same rate. So the box farther away from you ...
the big one, with 7.4 kg of mass, accelerates at the same rate.

The force on it to make it accelerate is (mass) x (acceleration) =

                                                              (7.4 kg) x (5/12.6 m/s²) =  <em>2.936 N.</em>

The only force on the big box comes from the small box, pushing it from behind. 
So that same  <em>2.936N</em>  must be the contact force between the boxes.

A piece of wire length 30cm and cross sectional area of 0.5mm^2 has a resistance of 5ohms at 20°c. It is then heated to a temper
Grace [21]

Answer:

8.333*10^-6 ohms

Explanation:

Resistivity of a material is expressed as;

p = RA/l

R is the resistance of the material

A is the cross sectional area

l is the length of the material

Given

R = 5 ohms

A = 0.5mm^2

A = 5 * 10^-7m^2

l = 30cm  = 0.3m

Substitute into the formula;

p = (5 *  5 * 10^-7m^2)/0.3

p = 25 * 10^-7/0.3

p = 0.0000025/0.3

p = 8.333*10^-6

Hence its resistivity at 20 degrees Celsius is 8.333*10^-6 ohms
