This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Write the differential equation that governs the motion of the damped mass-spring system, and find the solution that satisfies the initial conditions specified. Units are mks; γ is the damping coefficient, with units of kg/sec
m = 0.2, γ = 1.6 and k = 4
Initial displacement is 1 and initial velocity is -2
x" + _____ x' ____x = 0
x(t) =
Answer:
the solution that satisfies the initial conditions specified is;
x(t) = +
Explanation:
Given the data in the question ;
m = 0.2, γ = 1.6, k = 4
x(0) = 1, x'(0) = -2
Now, the differential equation that governs the motions of spring mass system is;
mx" + γx' + kx = 0
so we substitute
0.2x" + 1.6x' + 4x = 0
divide through by 0.2
x" + 8x' + 20x = 0
hence, characteristics equation will be;
m² + 8m + 20 = 0
we find m using; x = [ -b±√(b² - 4ac) ] / 2a
m = [ -8 ± √((8)² - 4(1 × 20 )) ] / 2(1)
m = [ -8 ± √( 64 - 80 ) ] / 2
m = [ -8 ± √-16 ) ] / 2
m = ( -8 ± 4i ) / 2
m = -4 ± 2i
Hence, the general solution of the differential equation is;
x(t) = +
From the initial conditions;
c₁ = 1, c₂ = 1
the solution that satisfies the initial conditions specified is;
x(t) = +
Answers:
a)The balloon is 68 m away of the radar station
b) The direction of the balloon is towards the radar station
Explanation:
We can solve this problem with the Doppler shift equation:
(1)
Where:
is the actual frequency of the sound wave
is the "observed" frequency
is the velocity of sound
is the velocity of the observer, which is stationary
is the velocity of the source, which is the balloon
Isolating :
(2)
(3)
(4) This is the velocity of the balloon, note the negative sign indicates the direction of motion of the balloon: It is moving towards the radar station.
Now that we have the velocity of the balloon (hence its speed, the positive value) and the time () given as data, we can find the distance:
(5)
(6)
Finally:
(8) This is the distance of the balloon from the radar station
