Aforce of 2 pounds stretches a spring 1 foot. a mass weighing 3.2 pounds is attached to the spring, and the system is then immersed in a medium that offers a damping force numerically equal to 0.8 times the instantaneous velocity.(a) find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from rest from a point 1 foot above the equilibrium position.(b) find the first time at which the mass passes through the equilibrium position heading upward.

Astudent pushes on a 20.0 kg box with a force of 50 n at an angle of 30° below the horizontal. the box accelerates at a rate of 0.5 m/s2 across a horizontal floor. what is the value of the normal force on the box? 200 n 243 n 156 n 225 n

The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins. because of the enormous centripetal accelerations, the centrifuge must be carefully balanced, with each sample matched by a sample of identical mass on the opposite side. any difference in the masses of opposing samples creates a net force on the shaft of the rotor, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure of the apparatus. suppose a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation and one sample has a mass 10 mg larger than the opposing sample. if the samples are 12 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 70,000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples? ( be thorough on your answer)
