A 2kg mass is attached to a spring with stiffness k = 8π2N/m. The mass is displaced 1m to the right of the equilibrium and given a velocity of 2π m/sec to the right. No damping and no external for are assumed. (a) Find the period and the frequency of the motion (with appropriate units). (b) Write the displacement y(t) of the mass in phase-amplitude form (every computation must be shown). (c) What is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium...

1) In a car collision, the driver's body must change speed from a high value to zero. This is true whether or not an airbag is used, so why use an airbag? How does it reduce injuries? Answer needs to include a discussion of impulse (force and time). 2) Two playground balls, the type used in the game of dodge ball, are inflated to different levels. One is fully inflated and the other is flat. Neglecting air resistance, which one...

Diffusion of gases across a permeable membrane 1. How long did it take the O2 levels to become about equal outside and inside the cell? What happened to those levels after they became about equal over the additional 10 seconds? Why did this happen? My answer: It took 6 seconds to become equal. After they became about equal over the additional 10 seconds they fluctuate back and forth as equal equilibrium is achieved. 2.Cell use O2 and produce CO2 as...

A spring of negligble mass has force constant k = 1600 N/m. a) How far must the spring be compressed for 3.2 J of potential energy to be stored in it? b) You place the spring vetically with one end on the floor. You then drop a 1.2 kg book onto it from a height of 0.80 m above the top of the spring. Find the maximum distance the spring will be compressed. I looked at the textbook solution for...

All questions must be answered in details ELASTICITY 3. How responsive are your grades to a change in the amount of studying you do? For example, if you increased your study time by 25%, how would your grades respond? State these estimates as elasticities. Are your estimates high or low? Would it be worth your while to study more for each class? Explain. 4. Jumping Joe’s Night Club has found that when they offer half price admission to the club...
