A 50-Kg Block Is Attached to an Ideal Massless Spring Whose

question 15

Short Answer

A 5.0-kg block is attached to an ideal massless spring whose spring constant is 125 N/m.The block is pulled from its equilibrium position at x = 0.00 m to a position at x = +0.687 m and is released from rest.The block then executes lightly damped oscillation along the x-axis,and the damping force is proportional to the velocity.When the block first returns to x = 0.00 m,its x component of velocity is -2.0 m/s and its x component of acceleration is +5.6 m/s².
(a)What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block upon release at x = +0.687 m.
(b)Find the damping constant b.

Bipolar Cell

A type of neuron found in the retina that acts as an intermediary between photoreceptors and ganglion cells, transmitting visual information.

Rods

Photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that are highly sensitive to light and enable vision in low-light conditions but do not mediate color vision.

Cone

A photoreceptor cell in the retina that is responsible for color vision and functions best in relatively bright light.

Color-Deficient Vision

A condition where an individual's ability to see one or more colors is impaired, commonly referred to as color blindness.
