A room has dimensions 3.00 m (height) 3.70 m 4.30 m. A fly starting at one corner flies around, ending up at the diagonally oppo

site corner. (a) What is the magnitude of its displacement? (b) Could the length of its path be less than this magnitude? (c) Greater? (d) Equal? (e) Choose a suitable coordinate system and express the components of the displacement vector in that system in unit-vector notation. (f) If the fly walks, what is the length of the shortest path? (Hint: This can be answered without calculus. The room is like a box. Unfold its walls to flatten them into a plane.)

The displacement is the straight-line distance it flew when everything is over.  We don't count all of the turns that it made in the displacement.  So if it's in an opposite corner we just need to know how far it is from one corner of a box to the opposite corner with the given dimensions.  We use the Pythagorean Theorem for part a):
d= \sqrt{3.00^{2}+3.70^{2}+4.30^{2}}=6.42m
b).  Since the displacement is the straight line path, there are no shorter paths that this.
c)All other paths are greater
d) if the fly flies this path, then they would be equal
in cartesian coordinates, the vector is the sum of the 3 components whose magnitudes are the wall lengths and whose directions are parallel to that wall:
D=a_x3.70+a_y4.30+a_z3.00

The shortest walking path is 7.96m.

A typical mattress has a network of springs that provide support. If you sit on a mattress, the springs compress. A heavier pers
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Explanation:

Spring has a tendency to store energy in them and deform its shape when force is applied on it. Once the applied force is removed it regains its original shape and size.

It is in helical shape and is used in mattress to give structure and support. Spring have elastic nature and follows spring forces, F = k * x

where is the applied force, k is the spring constant and x is the amount of extension.

When a heavier person sits on a mattress, more weight is applied on springs and they form coils, as weight is removed they regains its shape again.

A series circuit has a capacitor of 0.25 × 10−6 F, a resistor of 5 × 103 Ω, and an inductor of 1 H. The initial charge on the ca
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

q=10^{-6}(e^{-4000t}-4e^{-1000t}+3)C

Explanation:

Given that L=1H, R=5000\Omega, \ C=0.25\times10^{-6}F, \ \ E(t)=12V, we use Kirchhoff's 2nd Law to determine the sum of voltage drop as:

E(t)=\sum{Voltage \ Drop}\\\\L\frac{d^2q}{dt^2}+R\frac{dq}{dt}+\frac{1}{C}q=E(t)\\\\\\\frac{d^2q}{dt^2}+5000\frac{dq}{dt}+\frac{1}{0.25\times10^{-6}}q=12\\\\\frac{d^2q}{dt^2}+5000\frac{dq}{dt}+4000000q=12\\\\m^2+5000m+4000000=0\\\\(m+4000)(m+1000)=0\\\\m=-4000  \ or \ m=-1000\\\\q_c=c_1e^{-4000t}+c_2e^{-1000t}

#To find the particular solution:

Q(t)=A,\ Q\prime(t)=0,Q\prime \prime(t)=0\\\\0+0+4000000A=12\\\\A=3\times10^{-6}\\\\Q(t)=3\times10^{-6},\\\\q=q_c+Q(t)\\\\q=c_1e^{-4000t}+c_2e^{-1000t}+3\times10^{-6}\\\\q\prime=-4000c_1e^{-4000t}-1000c_2e^{-1000t}\\q\prime(0)=0\\\\-4000c_1-1000c_2=0\\c_1+c_2+3\times10^{-6}=0\\\\#solving \ simultaneously\\\\c_1=10^{-6},c_2=-4\times10^{-6}\\\\q=10^{-6}e^{-4000t}-4\times10^{-6}e^{-1000t}+3\times10^{-6}\\\\q=10^{-6}(e^{-4000t}-4e^{-1000t}+3)C

Hence the charge at any time, t is q=10^{-6}(e^{-4000t}-4e^{-1000t}+3)C
