Answer:

∆ = 14°

Explanation:

Let the angle be ∆

Opposite = 2.07 m/s

Adjacent = 8.3 m/s

Tan ∆ = opposite / adjacent

Tan ∆ = 2.07 / 8.3

Tan ∆ = 0.2494

∆ = ArcTan (0.2494)

∆ = 14°

The angle from vertical the raindrops make for a person jogging is 14°

If you had an unlimited amount of mass to hang, what would be the range of possible accelerations for the system?

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The entire cart/hanging mass system follows the same law, ΣF = ma. This means that plotting force vs. acceleration yields a linear relationship (of the form y = mx).

At t = 0, a battery is connected to a series arrangement of a resistor and an inductor. If the inductive time constant is 43.4 m

Sauron [17]

Answer:30.08 ms

Explanation:

Given

time Constant $\tau =43.4 ms =\frac{L}{R}$

Also rate at which energy is dissipated in the resistor equal to the rate at which energy is stored in inductor's magnetic Field

Energy stored in Inductor is $U_L=\frac{1}{2}Li^2$

rate of Energy storing $\frac{dU_L}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}L\cdot 2i\times \frac{di}{dt}----1$

Rate of Energy dissipation from resistor i.e. Power is given by

$\frac{dU_R}{dt}=i^2R-----2$

Equating 1 and 2

$Li\cdot \frac{di}{dt}=i^2R$

$L(\frac{di}{dt})=R(i)-----3$

i is given by $i=\frac{V}{R}(1-e^{-\frac{t}{\tau }})$

$\frac{di}{dt}=\frac{V}{L}e^{-\frac{t}{\tau }}$

substitute the value of $\frac{di}{dt}$ in 3

$L(\frac{V}{L}e^{-\frac{t}{\tau }})=R\cdot \frac{V}{R}(1-e^{-\frac{t}{\tau }})$

$e^{-\frac{t}{\tau }}=1-e^{-\frac{t}{\tau }}$

$2e^{-\frac{t}{\tau }}=1$

$e^{-\frac{t}{\tau }}=0.5$

$e^{-\frac{t}{43.4\times 10^{-3}}}=0.5$

$\frac{t}{43.4\times 10^{-3}}=0.693$

$t=30.08 ms$

What type of energy is related to kinetic energy of all the particles in a sample of matter

pshichka [43]

The kinetic molecular theory of matter offers a description of the microscopic properties of atoms (or molecules) and their interactions, leading to observable macroscopic properties (such as pressure, volume, temperature). An application of the theory is that it helps to explain why matter exists in different phases (solid, liquid, and gas) and how matter can change from one phase to the next.
