D. Redefine the machine’s system boundaries.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can't be created not destroyed. Energy, however, can be changed from one form to another. The law applies to isolated systems only. By redefining and expanding the system (including all factors affecting it) , the machine's ability to do work should improve.

Friction causes energy loss. By conservation of energy, reducing friction will increase work. So ans is C.

What is the natural frequency (wo) of a circuit that has an inductor of 0.048 henery's, and a capacitor of 0.0004 farads?

adell [148]

Answer:

The natural frequency will be 228.11 rad/sec

Explanation:

We have given Inductance L = 0.048 Henry

And the capacitance C = 0.0004 farad

We have to find natural frequency

When only inductor and capacitor is present in the circuit then it is known as LC circuit and Natural frequency of LC circuit is given by $\omega _0=\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{0.048\times 0.0004}}=228.21\ rad/sec$

So the natural frequency will be 228.21

Before the fission process takes place, lead-207 is bombarded with neutrons, it can change into

Oduvanchick [21]

Lead-207 can change into Lead-208.

When Lead-207 is bombarded with neutrons, the atom acquires the neutron. Adding a neutron only changes the mass number of the atom. This does not involve change in the identity of the atom. So, Lead-207 can change into Lead-208 without change in its chemical properties.

The cheetah is considered the fastest running animal in the world. Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 21.7 m/s in 2.50 s and

viktelen [127]

Answer:

1) 64.2 mi/h

2) 3.31 seconds

3) 47.5 m

4) 5.26 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2.5 s

u = Initial velocity = 0 m/s

v = Final velocity = 21.7 m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

1) Top speed = 28.7 m/s

1 mile = 1609.344 m

$1\ m=\frac{1}{1609.344}\ miles$

1 hour = 60×60 seconds

$1\ s=\frac{1}{3600}\ hours$

$28.7\ m/s=\frac{\frac{28.7}{1609.344}}{\frac{1}{3600}}=64.2\ mi/h$

Top speed of the cheetah is 64.2 mi/h

Equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{21.7-0}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow a=8.68\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of the cheetah is 8.68 m/s²

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{28.7-0}{8.68}\\\Rightarrow t=3.31\ s$

It takes a cheetah 3.31 seconds to reach its top speed.

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{28.7^2-0^2}{2\times 8.68}\\\Rightarrow s=47.5\ m$

It travels 47.5 m in that time

4) When s = 120 m

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 120=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 8.68\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{120\times 2}{8.68}}\\\Rightarrow t=5.26\ s$

The time it takes the cheetah to reach a rabbit is 120 m is 5.26 seconds
