peed. Which of the following is true?

Answer:

A. The bus has more kinetic energy than the car.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the amount energy possessed by the body when in motion. Kinetic is given by the formula;

K.E = 1/2mv²,

where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity of the body.

Kinetic energy therefore depends on the mass and the velocity of the body. In this case, the passenger bus has more kinetic energy at constant speed than the car since it has a larger mass.

If the result of your calculation of a quantity has si units kg•m^2/s^2•C, that quantity could be
Novosadov [1.4K]
It would be Joules.
Workdone is measured in Joules.
Workdone = Force * distance
Force = mass * acceleration
          = kg      *  ms⁻²
          = kgms⁻²

Distance = m

So, Force * distance
       kgms⁻² * m

Apply laws of indices that says
x² * x³ = x²⁺³ = x⁵

Therefore, It would be kgm²s⁻²
m¹ * m¹ = m¹⁺¹ = m²
s⁻² is also = s / 2

At resonance, what is impedance of a series RLC circuit? less than R It depends on many other considerations, such as the values
denis23 [38]

Answer:

at resonance impedence is equal to resistance and quality factor is dependent on R L AND C all

Explanation:

we know that for series RLC circuit impedance is given by

Z=\sqrt{R^2+\left ( X_L-X_C \}right )^2

but we know that at resonance X_L=X_C  

putting  X_L=X_C in impedance formula , impedance will become

Z=R so at resonance impedance of series RLC is equal to resistance only

now quality factor of series resonance is given by

Q=\frac{\omega L}{R}=\frac{1}{\omega CR}=\frac{1}{R}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}  so from given expression it is clear that quality factor depends on R L and C

Calculate the magnitude of the total impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Total impulse = mv = Initial momentum of the car

Explanation:

Let the mass of the car be 'm' kg moving with a velocity 'v' m/s.

The final velocity of the car is 0 m/s as it is brought to rest.

Impulse is equal to the product of constant force applied to an object for a very small interval. Impulse is also calculated as the total change in the linear momentum of an object during the given time interval.

The magnitude of impulse is the absolute value of the change in momentum.

|J|=|p_f-p_i|

Momentum of an object is equal to the product of its mass and velocity.

So, the initial momentum of the car is given as:

p_i=mv

The final momentum of the car is given as:

p_f=m(0)=0

Therefore, the impulse is given as:

|J|=|p_f-p_i|=|0-mv|=|-mv|=mv

Hence, the magnitude of the impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest is equal to the initial momentum of the car.
