Correct question is;

A 4-foot spring measures 8 feet long after a mass weighing 8 pounds is attached to it. The medium through which the mass moves offers a damping force numerically equal to √2 times the instantaneous velocity. Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 7 ft/s. (Use g = 32 ft/s²)

Answer:

x(t) = 7te^(-2t√2)

Explanation:

We are given;

Weight; W = 8 lbs

mass; m = W/g

g = 32 ft/s²

Thus;

m = 8/32

m = ¼ slugs

From Newton's second law we can write the equation as;

m(d²x/dt²) = -kx - β(dx/dt)

Rearranging this, we have;

(d²x/dt²) + (β/m)(dx/dt) + (k/m)x = 0

Where;

β is damping constant = √2

k is spring constant = W/s

Where s = 8ft - 4ft = 4ft

k = 8/4

k = 2

Thus,we now have;

(d²x/dt²) + (√2/(¼))(dx/dt) + (2/(¼))x = 0

>> (d²x/dt²) + (4√2)dx/dt + 8x = 0

The auxiliary equation of this is;

m² + (4√2)m + 8 = 0

Using quadratic formula, we have;

m1 = m2 = -2√2

The general solution will be gotten from;

x_t = c1•e^(mt) + c2•t•e^(mt)

Plugging in the relevant values gives;

x_t = c1•e^(mt) + c2•t•e^(mt)

At initial condition of t = 0, x_t = 0 and thus; c1 = 0

Also at initial condition of t = 0, x'(0) = 7 and thus;

Since c1 = 0, then c2 = 7

Thus,equation of motion is;

x(t) = 7te^(-2t√2)

To date, Saturn is known to have 13 rings made from which of the following?
ankoles [38]

I think the answer is Dust. Moons and stars definitely don't seem likely and dark particles, I am not even sure what those are. But I have seen rings on other planets before. Hope this helps. :)

If light has a speed of 122,000 mps in a transparent medium, what is the index of refraction of the medium? A. n = 1.52
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

A.\hspace{3}n=1.52

Explanation:

The refractive index of a medium is a measure to know how much the speed of light within the medium is reduced. It can be calculated with the next equation:

n=\frac{c}{v}   (1)

Where:

c=Speed\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}light\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}vacuum\\n=Refractive\hspace{3}index\\

v=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}light\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}medium

The speed of light in the vacuum is approximately 300,000 km/s. In order to work with the same units let's do the proper conversion with the velocity of the medium:

122,000\frac{mi}{s} *\frac{1.60934km}{1mi}=196339.48\frac{km}{s}

Finally, replacing the data in (1):

n=\frac{300,000}{196339.48} =1.527965746\approx1.52

A bike with 15cm diameter wheels accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 7.1m/s over a distance of 35.4m. Determine the an
Finger [1]

Answer:

9.47 rad/s^2

Explanation:

Diameter = 15 cm, radius, r = diameter / 2 = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m, u = 0, v = 7.1 m/s,

s = 35.4 m

let a be the linear acceleration.

Use III equation of motion.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 a s

7.1 x 7.1 = 0 + 2 x a x 35.4

a = 0.71 m/s^2

Now the relation between linear acceleration and angular acceleration is

a = r x α

where,  α is angular acceleration

α = 0.71 / 0.075 = 9.47 rad/s^2
