PLEASE HELP

 

[arildno]

1. You must state the problem
Yes, that means posting the problem here. At Pf.

2. You must show your own work.

[harmonicmotion]

its the first question

 

[harmonicmotion]

the second link works i think

 

[harmonicmotion]

can you try it and let me know if i should type it

 

[arildno]

Okay second link works, so what have you done so far?

 

[harmonicmotion]

are you still there

 

[arildno]

Indeed, what have you done so far?

 

[harmonicmotion]

i did a) and got 500 kg

This isn't a chat room, it takes a few minutes before you get responses.

 

[harmonicmotion]

on b i am trying to integrate and got x=(8/5)ln{1+5t}

 

[harmonicmotion]

i really do not think that is correct though

 

[arildno]

on a)+b), you are correct.

 

[arildno]

i really do not think that is correct though

But it is.

 

[harmonicmotion]

is integration the wrong method?

 

[harmonicmotion]

oh ok thank you, I am having trouble with c and d though

 

[arildno]

is integration the wrong method?

Eeh, do you even take time to read the replies you get??

Slow down a bit, will you?

 

[harmonicmotion]

what is the best method to use

 

[arildno]

oh ok thank you, I am having trouble with c and d though

Ok, now, is there some other quantity you can calculate by means of which you can calculate the force acting upon the object?

 

[harmonicmotion]

I'm sorry i think my computer is on delay because the messages dont come up until after i send something else

 

[harmonicmotion]

mass times acceleration?

 

[arildno]

mass times acceleration?

Agreed!

So, how can you find acceleration? (you already know mass)

[harmonicmotion]

dv/dt? could that be used?

 

[raman911]

use
Fnet=ma

 

[arildno]

dv/dt? could that be used?

Sure!
Isn't that what acceleration is, after all?

[harmonicmotion]

sorry for the random letters your responses dont come up on my comp otherwise

 

[harmonicmotion]

wait so would dv/dt just be 8/(1+5t)

[arildno]

sorry for the random letters your responses dont come up on my comp otherwise

I understand.

Now, as for d) assuming you manage c), it is perhaps simplest to remember that the impulse over a time interval equals the change in momentum over that interval.
