The gravitational force is acting downward as the spring is held vertically. Therefore, spring is stretched downward and the force is directly proportional to the stretched distance. The product of the mass and the gravitational acceleration gives gravitational force.

What happens to the position of an object as an unbalanced force acts on?

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Unbalanced forces change the motion of an object. If an object is at rest and an unbalanced force pushes or pulls the object, it will move. Unbalanced forces can also change the speed or direction of an object that is already in motion.

f your risk-aversion coefficient is A = 4 and you believe that the entire 1926–2015 period is representative of future expected

siniylev [52]

Answer:

The portfolio should invest 48.94% in equity while 51.05% in the T-bills.

Explanation:

As the complete question is not given here ,the table of data is missing which is as attached herewith.

From the maximized equation of the utility function it is evident that

$Weight=\frac{E_M-r_f}{A\sigma_M^2}$

For the equity, here as

$Weight$ is percentage of the equity which is to be calculated
${E_M-r_f}$ is the Risk premium whose value as seen from the attached data for the period 1926-2015 is 8.30%
$A$ is the risk aversion factor which is given as 4.
$\sigma_M$ is the standard deviation of the portfolio which from the data for the period 1926-2015 is 20.59

By substituting values.

$Weight=\frac{E_M-r_f}{A\sigma_M^2}\\Weight=\frac{8.30\%}{4(20.59\%)^2}\\Weight=0.4894 =48.94\%$

So the weight of equity is 48.94%.

Now the weight of T bills is given as

$Weight_{T-Bills}=1-Weight_{equity}\\Weight_{T-Bills}=1-0.4894\\Weight_{T-Bills}=0.5105=51.05\%\\$

So the weight of T-bills is 51.05%.

The portfolio should invest 48.94% in equity while 51.05% in the T-bills.

Which energy output objects work with the turbine

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The energy output object that works with the turbine is the alternator (generator)

Explanation:

In energy generation the turbine receives input energy from high pressured steam, high energy water etc. Which impinges and turn the blades of the turbine, this turbine is connected by means of a shaft to the alternator that converts the rotational motion of the shaft to electrical energy through Electro magnetic induction principles and also outputs the energy for consumption.

Block A has a mass of 0.5kg, and block B has a mass of 2kg. Block is is released at a height of 0.75 meters above B. The coeffic

VikaD [51]

Answer:

0.075 m

Explanation:

The picture of the problem is missing: find it in attachment.

At first, block A is released at a distance of

h = 0.75 m

above block B. According to the law of conservation of energy, its initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, so we can write:

$m_Agh=\frac{1}{2}m_Av_A^2$

where

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

$m_A=0.5 kg$ is the mass of the block

$v_A$ is the speed of the block A just before touching block B

Solving for the speed,

$v_A=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(0.75)}=3.83 m/s$

Then, block A collides with block B. The coefficient of restitution in the collision is given by:

$e=\frac{v'_B-v'_A}{v_A-v_B}$

where:

e = 0.7 is the coefficient of restitution in this case

$v_B'$ is the final velocity of block B

$v_A'$ is the final velocity of block A

$v_A=3.83 m/s$

$v_B=0$ is the initial velocity of block B

Solving,

$v_B'-v_A'=e(v_A-v_B)=0.7(3.83)=2.68 m/s$

Re-arranging it,

$v_A'=v_B'-2.68$ (1)

Also, the total momentum must be conserved, so we can write:

$m_A v_A + m_B v_B = m_A v'_A + m_B v'_B$

where

$m_B=2 kg$

And substituting (1) and all the other values,

$m_A v_A = m_A (v_B'-2.68) + m_B v_B'\\v_B' = \frac{m_A v_A +2.68 m_A}{m_A + m_B}=1.30 m/s$

This is the velocity of block B after the collision. Then, its kinetic energy is converted into elastic potential energy of the spring when it comes to rest, according to

$\frac{1}{2}m_B v_B'^2 = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where

k = 600 N/m is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

And solving for x,

$x=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(2)(1.30)^2}{600}}=0.075 m$

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

A) Energy is dissipated into heat and sound energy due to Friction

B) The energy goes into heat and sound energy due to friction again, otherwise the cart would accelerate due to an unbalanced force. Therefore, we know there's friction, and the friction causes energy loss.
