When they meet the 40-kg boy will have moved a distance of 6 m.

Displacement of the 40 kg boy

The displacement of the 40 kg boy is calculated from the principle of center mass.

X(40 kg) = (60 x 10 m    +  40 x 0)/(40 kg + 60 kg)

X(40 kg) = (600)/(100) = 6 m

X(60 kg) = (60 x 0    +  40 x 10 m)/(40 kg + 60 kg)

X(60 kg) = (400)/(100) = 4 m

Thus, when they meet the 40-kg boy will have moved a distance of 6 m.

Sav [38]

Answer:

1. They both uses same energy

2. The 6 kg ball requires more power than 3kg ball

Explanation:

Sample 1

m = 3kg

g= 10m/s^2

h = 2m

t = 2secs

W = mgh = 3 x 10 x 2 = 60J

P= w/t = 60/2 = 30watts

Sample 2

m = 6kg

g= 10m/s^2

h = 1m

t = 1sec

W = mgh = 6 x 10 x 1 = 60J

P= w/t = 60/1 = 60watts

They both uses same energy but different power. The 6 kg ball requires more power than 3kg ball

How is the q of an rlc parallel resonant circuit calculated?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

It is calculated by dividing Resistance, R, by Inductive reactance, XL.

Explanation:

Q is called the Q factor of a resonance circuit. In a parallel resonance circuit, it is calculated by finding the ratio of the power stored in the circuit to the power distributed in the circuit. It is a way of measuring the quality of a circuit or how effective the circuit is.

Q factor is the inverse in the resonance series circuit.

Q factor of a resonance parallel circuit,

<h3>Q = R/XL</h3>

R = Resistance

XL = Inductive reactance

Name one advantage and one disadvantage of the prepaid electricity system.​
Doss [256]

Answer:

The system prevents a consumer from accruing debt via electricity use, as it only allows the customer to use electricity which has been paid for upfront.

this gives the advantage of not allowing the consumer to rack up debt

the disadvantage for the consumer comes when they cannot afford to prepay in a time of financial difficulty - as the system now renders them as having no electricity as well as no money

A pulsed proton beam is fired at a target. Each pulse lasts 45.0 ns, and there are protons in each pulse, each proton having a s
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

P = n P₀ 4.9 10¹⁴  Pa

Explanation:

The radiation pressure for full absorption is

        P = S / c

Where S the pointing vector, which is equal to the intensity of the beam that is defined as the energy per unit area per unit time

The energy of the protons can be calculated

       Em = K = ½ m v²

Area

          A = π r²

Intensity is

          I = n ½ m v² / π r²

          I = ½ n m /π v² / r²

We replace

         S = U / t A

          S = ½ n m /π v² / r² Δt

The pressure is

           P = 1/c   (½ n m /π (v / r Δt)²2

           Δt = 45 10⁻⁹ s

           P = n [½ m /πc  (v/r)²] 4.9 10¹⁴

The amount in square brackets is the pressure that a proton creates, which is why it is useful

         P = n P₀ 4.9 10¹⁴  Pa

Where Po is the pressure created by a proton
