<u>Answer:</u>

a) Minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp = 39.78 m/s

b) Minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp with 7° above the horizontal = 23.93 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

a) The height of ramp = 1.5 meter

Horizontal distance he must clear = 22 meter

The car is having horizontal motion and vertical motion. In case of vertical motion the acceleration on the car is acceleration due to gravity.

We have equation of motion, $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In case of vertical motion initial velocity = 0 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ , we need to calculate time when displacement = 1.5 meter.

$1.5=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 0.553 seconds$

So the car has to cover a distance of 22 meter in 2.119 seconds.

So minimum speed required = 22/0.553 = 39.78 m/s

Minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp = 39.78 m/s

b) When the take of angle is 7⁰ the vertical speed of car is not zero = V sin 7 = 0.122 V

So the in case of vertical motion we have initial velocity = 0.122 V, S = -1.5 meter( below ramp), acceleration = -9.8 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$-1.5=0.122V*t-\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ 4.9t^2-0.122Vt-1.5=0$

In case of horizontal motion

Horizontal speed of car = V cos 7 = 0.993V

So it has to travel 22 meter in t seconds

0.993Vt = 22, Vt = 22.155 m

Substituting in the equation $4.9t^2-0.122Vt-1.5=0$

We will get $4.9t^2-0.122*22.155-1.5=0\\ \\ t = 0.926 seconds$

Speed required = 22.155/0.926 = 23.93 m/s

Minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp with 7° above the horizontal = 23.93 m/s

Answer: You do not specify what is being asked for. ∆E? ∆H?

∆E = (430 - 238) J = 192 J

∆H = 430 J

Explanation:

If asked for the value of ∆H the answer is simply the change in heat, and in the question, it states introduction of 430 J of heat is causing the system to expand.

Therefore ∆H = 430 J

If asked for ∆E, we know that ∆E = ±q (heat) + work (-P∆V) = ±q + w

The question states that 238 J of work are done AND the system expanded

(work is negative because expansion means work is done BY the system, releasing energy/heat... Conversely, if the system were compressed, work is done ON the system, absorbing heat/energy)

Therefore, ∆E = (430 - 238) J = 192 J

I need help answering 30A and B. Help a guy out?

dmitriy555 [2]

Uh so I'm no master at this subject, but all stuffs accelerate at 9.8 m/s squared. So you multiply the 9.8 and the 0.20 it's given for reasons unknown other than that's what I see in my notes... and that gives you 1.96 m/s squared.

As for B, I have no idea. I think you may multiply the 1.96 by 4. Tell me your thoughts and maybe we can work it out together

Elenna [48]

Answer:

$\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}$

Explanation:

The period of the simple pendulum is:

$T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }$

Where:

$l$ - Cord length, in m.

$g$ - Gravity constant, in $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

Given that the same pendulum is test on each planet, the following relation is formed:

$T_{1}^{2}\cdot g_{1} = T_{2}^{2}\cdot g_{2}$

The ratio of the gravitational constant on planet CornTeen to the gravitational constant on planet Earth is:

$\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} \right)^{2}$

$\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{2\,s}{4\,s} \right)^{2}$

$\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}$

nekit [7.7K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

In circuits, the average power is defined as the average of the instantaneous power over one period. The instantaneous power can be found as:

$p(t)=v(t)i(t)$

So the average power is:

$P=\frac{1}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}p(t)dt$

But:

$v(t)=v_{m}cos(\omega t) \\ \\ i(t)=i_{m}cos(\omega t)$

So:

$P=\frac{1}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}v_{m}cos(\omega t)i_{m}cos(\omega t)dt \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}cos^{2}(\omega t)dt \\ \\ But: cos^{2}(\omega t)=\frac{1+cos(2\omega t)}{2}$

$P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}(\frac{1+cos(2\omega t)}{2} )dt \\\\P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{cos(2\omega t)}{2}]dt \\\\P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}[\frac{1}{2}(t)\right|_0^T +\frac{sin(2\omega t)}{4\omega} \right|_0^T] \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{2T}[(t)\right|_0^T +\frac{sin(2\omega t)}{2\omega} \right|_0^T] \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{2}$

In terms of RMS values:

$V_{RMS}=V=\frac{v_{m}}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \\ I_{RMS}=I=\frac{i_{m}}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ P=VI$
