(a)
To find: The length of the arc of the 10th swing.
(a)

Answer to Problem 85AYU
Explanation of Solution
Given: Initially, a pendulum swings through an arc of 2 feet. On each successive, the length of the arc is 0.9 of the previous length.
Initial length of the pendulum = 2 feet.
After each swing loose 0.1 length of the previous length.
After 1 swing length of arc
After 2 bounce height of ball
After 10 bounce height of ball
(b)
To find: The length of arc less than 1 foot.
(b)

Answer to Problem 85AYU
Explanation of Solution
Given: Initially, a pendulum swings through an arc of 2 feet. On each successive, the length of the arc is 0.9 of the previous length.
Initial height of the ball,
After each bounces up loose one-fourth height of the previous one.
Length of arc after nth swung
Length is less than 1 foot.
Before 7 swung length of arc less than 1 foot.
(c)
To find: The number of bounce when height is less than 6 inches.
(c)

Answer to Problem 85AYU
Explanation of Solution
Given: Initially, a pendulum swings through an arc of 2 feet. On each successive, the length of the arc is 0.9 of the previous length.
Initial height of the ball,
Length of arc after nth swung
Put n=15
Length of arc after 15th swung
(d)
To find: The total length when stops swung.
(d)

Answer to Problem 85AYU
Explanation of Solution
Given: Initially, a pendulum swings through an arc of 2 feet. On each successive, the length of the arc is 0.9 of the previous length.
Initial height of the ball,

Find the velocity of the hockey puck at any time t. v(t) ===== b. Find the acceleration of the puck at any time t. -1 a (t) = (t) where s is in meters. c. Evaluate v(t) and a (t) for t = 1, 4, and 5 seconds. Round to 4 decimal places, if necessary. v (1) v (4) v (5) a (1) = = = = a (4) = a (5) = d. What conclusion can be drawn from the results in the previous part? ○ The hockey puck is decelerating/slowing down at 1, 4, and 5 seconds ○ The hockey puck has a constant velocity/speed at 1, 4, and 5 seconds ○ The hockey puck is accelerating/speeding up at 1, 4, and 5 secondsarrow_forward

Assume that the air resistance FD acting on the body is proportional to the velocity V, so that FD=kV. Taking g = 9.75 m/s2 and k/m = 5 s, determine: a) what height the body will reach at the top of the tower, b) how long it will take the body to touch the ground, and c) the velocity of the body when it touches the ground.arrow_forwardA chemical reaction involving the interaction of two substances A and B to form a new compound X is called a second order reaction. In such cases it is observed that the rate of reaction (or the rate at which the new compound is formed) is proportional to the product of the remaining amounts of the two original substances. If a molecule of A and a molecule of B combine to form a molecule of X (i.e., the reaction equation is A + B ⮕ X), then the differential equation describing this specific reaction can be expressed as: dx/dt = k(a-x)(b-x) where k is a positive constant, a and b are the initial concentrations of the reactants A and B, respectively, and x(t) is the concentration of the new compound at any time t. Assuming that no amount of compound X is present at the start, obtain a relationship for x(t). What happens when t ⮕∞?arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_ios
