A 77.8 kg basketball player is running in the positive direction at 8.1 m/s. She is met head-on by a 99.8 kg player traveling at

6.9 m/s toward her. If the 99.8 kg player is knocked backwards at 3.5 m/s, what is the resulting velocity of the 77.8 kg player?

Answer:

-5.24 m/s

** The minus sign indicates that the velocity vector points in the opposite direction with respect to the initial direction of the 77.8 kg player **

Explanation:

Hi!

We can solve this problem considering each player as a point particle and taking into account the conservation of linear momentum.

Since the 99.8 kg player is moving towards the 77.8kg, the initial total momentum is:

m1*v1_i + m2*v2_i = (77.8kg)(8.1 m/s) - (99.8kg)(6.9 m/s)

** The minus sign indicates that the velocity vector points in the opposite direction with respect to the initial direction of the 77.8 kg player **

The final total momentum is equal to:

m1*v1_f + m2*v2_f = (77.8 kg)v1_f + (99.8 kg)(3.5 m/s)

The conservation of momentu tell us that:

m1v1_i + m2v2_i = m1v1_f + m2v2_f

Therefore:

v1_f =v1_i + (m2/m1)*(v2_i-v2_f)

v1_f = 8.1 m/s  + (99.8 / 77.8) * (-6.9 - 3.5 m/s)

<u>v1_f = -5.24 m/s</u>

g determine what frequency is required of a source powering a 100 uf capacitor a 500 ohm resistor and a s50 mH inductor in serie
polet [3.4K]

Answer: 71.16\ Hz

Explanation:

Given

Capacitance C=100\ \mu F

Resistance R=500\ \Omega

Inductance L=50\ mH

In LCR circuit, current is maximum at resonance frequency i.e.

X_L=X_C\ \text{and}\ \omega_o=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}

Insert the values

\Rightarrow \omega_o=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{50\times 10^{-3}\times 100\times 10^{-6}}}\\\\\Rightarrow \omega_o=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}\times 10^{-3}}\\\\\Rightarrow \omega_o=0.447\times 10^{3}

Also, frequency is given by

\Rightarrow 2\pi f=\omega_o\\\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{\omega_o}{2\pi}

\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\times 0.447\times 10^3\\\\\Rightarrow f=71.16\ Hz

The drawing shows three particles far away from any other objects and located on a straight line. The masses of these particles
belka [17]

Answer:

F_a=5.67\times 10^{-5}\ N

<u />F_b=3.49\times 10^{-5}\ N

F_c=9.16\times 10^{-5}\ N

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of particle A, m_a=363\ kg
  • mass of particle B, m_b=517\ kg
  • mass of particle C, m_c=154\ kg
  • All the three particles lie on a straight line.
  • Distance between particle A and B, x_{ab}=0.5\ m
  • Distance between particle B and C, x_{bc}=0.25\ m

Since the gravitational force is attractive in nature it will add up when enacted from the same direction.

<u>Force on particle A due to particles B & C:</u>

F_a=G. \frac{m_a.m_b}{x_{ab}^2} +G. \frac{m_a.m_c}{(x_{ab}+x_{bc})^2}

F_a=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (\frac{363\times 517}{0.5^2}+\frac{363\times 154}{(0.5+0.25)^2})

F_a=5.67\times 10^{-5}\ N

<u>Force on particle C due to particles B & A:</u>

<u />F_c=G.\frac{m_c.m_b}{x_{bc}^2} +G.\frac{m_c.m_a}{(x_{ab}+x_{bc})^2}<u />

F_c=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (\frac{154\times 517}{0.25^2}+\frac{154\times 363}{(0.25+0.5)^2} )

F_c=9.16\times 10^{-5}\ N

<u>Force on particle B due to particles C & A:</u>

<u />F_b=G.\frac{m_b.m_c}{x_{bc}^2} -G.\frac{m_b.m_a}{x_{ab}^2}<u />

<u />F_b=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (\frac{517\times 154}{0.25^2}-\frac{517\times 363}{0.5^2}  )<u />

<u />F_b=3.49\times 10^{-5}\ N<u />

A laser source has a bandwidth of 30GHz (a) Calculate the coherence length of the source b) What is the time separation of secti
abruzzese [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Bandwidth of a laser source, f=30\ GHz=30\times 10^9\ Hz

(b) Let t is the time separation of sections of sections of the light wave that can still interfere. The time period is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}

T=\dfrac{1}{30\times 10^9}

T=3.33\times 10^{-11}\ s

(a) Let h is the coherence length of the source. It is given by :

l=c\times T

c is the speed of light

l=3\times 10^8\times 3.33\times 10^{-11}

l = 0.0099 m

Hence, this is the required solution.
