Answer:

19.95 J

Explanation:

The center of mass of the ladder is initially at a height of:

h_1=\frac{L}{2}sin\theta

The center of mass of the ladder ends at a height of:

h_2= \frac{L}{2}sin90 =L/2

So, the work done is equal to the change in potential energy which is:

W = PE = mg(h_2-h_1)

now h_2-h_1= 1-sin\theta

therefore

W = [mgL/2]×[1 - sin(theta)]

W = [(7.30)(9.81)(2.50)/2]×[1-sin(51°)]

solving this we get

W = 19.95 J

A parallel RLC resonant circuit has a resistance of 200 Ω. If it is known that the bandwidth is 80 rad/s and the lower half-powe
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

L= 3.6mH

C =9.9 microfarad

Explanation:

Resonant frequency fr

fr = fl + 1/2 BW

fr = 800+ 1/2×80

=800+40

=840 rad/s

Bandwidth (BW)

BW = fr/Q

Q = quality factor

Q= fr/ BW

Q = 840/80

Q= 10.5

Quality factor = R/Xl

Xl = inductive reactance

Xl = R/Q

Xl = 200/10.5

Xl = 19.05 ohms

Xl =2πfL

L= Inductance

L = Xl /2πf

L =19.05/5278.56

L= 3.6mH

Capacitor C

1= fr^2 × 4π^2LC

C = 1/fr^24π^2L

C = 1/100307.5

C= 9.9microfarad

vichka [17]
Traveling against currents usually takes longer. Kinda like walking against the wind, you feel the heaviness against your jacket as you push through it. Where when you walking with the wind, it kind of gives your a push. Same for with currents.

When a burning stick of increase is moved fast in a circle a circle of red light is seen.​
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The impression of the image on the retina lasts for about 1/16th of a second after the removal of the object. If a burning stick of incense is revolved at a rate of more than sixteen revolutions per second, we see a circle of red light due to persistence of vision.
