sonic is sliding down a frictionless 15m tall hill. He starts at the top with a velocity of 10m/s. At the bottom of the hill he

Answer:

The maximum speed of sonic at the bottom of the hill is equal to 19.85m/s and the spring constant of the spring is equal to (497.4xmass of sonic) N/m

Energy approach has been used to sole the problem.

The points of interest for the analysis of the problem are point 1 the top of the hill and point 2 the bottom of the hill just before hitting the spring

The maximum velocity of sonic is independent of the his mass or the geometry. It is only depends on the vertical distance involved

Explanation:

The step by step solution to the problem can be found in the attachment below. The principle of energy conservation has been applied to solve the problem. This means that if energy disappears in one form it will appear in another.

As in this problem, the potential and kinetic energy at the top of the hill were converted to only kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill. This kinetic energy too got converted into elastic potential energy .

x = compression of the spring = 0.89

What is the answer I’m stuck on this one it’s a screenshot for the question
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

deceleration is the opposite of acceleration

Explanation:

We know that acceleration is the increase of speed with respect to time. So deceleration must be represented on the graph as a decrease in speed over time.a

In Figure 10-1, if the force exerted on a 3.0-kg backpack that is initally at rest is 20.0 N and the distance it acts over is 0.
pshichka [43]
I'm going to assume this is over a horizontal distance. You know from Newton's Laws that F=ma --> a = F/m. You also know from your equations of linear motion that v^2=v0^2+2ad. Combining these two equations gives you v^2=v0^2+2(F/m)d. We can plug in the given values to get v^2=0^2+2(20/3)0.25. Solving for v we get v=1.82 m/s!

A thin spherical spherical shell of radius R which carried a uniform surface charge density σ. Write an expression for the volum
ozzi

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

We know that the thin spherical shell is on a uniform surface which implies that both the inside and outside the charge of the sphere are equal, Then

The volume charge distribution relates to the radial direction at r = R

∴

\rho (r) \  \alpha  \  \delta (r -R)

\rho (r) = k \  \delta (r -R) \ \  at \ \  (r = R)

\rho (r) = 0\ \ since \ r< R  \ \ or  \ \ r>R---- (1)

To find the constant k, we  examine the total charge Q which is:

Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV = \int \sigma \times dA

Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV = \sigma \times4 \pi R^2

∴

\int ^{2 \pi}_{0} \int ^{\pi}_{0} \int ^{R}_{0} \rho (r) r^2sin \theta  \ dr \ d\theta \ d\phi = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2

\int^{2 \pi}_{0} d \phi* \int ^{\pi}_{0} \ sin \theta d \theta * \int ^{R}_{0} k \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2

(2 \pi)(2) * \int ^{R}_{0} k \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2

Thus;

k * 4 \pi  \int ^{R}_{0}  \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times  R^2

k * \int ^{R}_{0}  \delta (r -R)  r^2dr = \sigma \times  R^2

k * R^2= \sigma \times  R^2

k  =   R^2 --- (2)

Hence, from equation (1), if k = \sigma

\mathbf{\rho (r) = \delta* \delta (r -R)  \ \  at   \ \  (r=R)}

\mathbf{\rho (r) =0 \ \  at   \ \  rR}

To verify the units:

\mathbf{\rho (r) =\sigma \ *  \ \delta (r-R)}

↓         ↓            ↓

c/m³    c/m³  ×   1/m            

Thus, the units are verified.

The integrated charge Q

Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV \\ \\ Q = \int ^{2 \ \pi}_{0} \int ^{\pi}_{0} \int ^R_0 \rho (r) \ \ r^2 \ \  sin \theta  \ dr \ d\theta \  d \phi  \\ \\  Q = \int ^{2 \pi}_{0} \  d \phi  \int ^{\pi}_{0} \ sin \theta  \int ^R_{0} \rho (r) r^2 \ dr

Q = (2 \pi) (2) \int ^R_0 \sigma * \delta (r-R) r^2 \ dr

Q = 4 \pi  \sigma  \int ^R_0  * \delta (r-R) r^2 \ dr

Q = 4 \pi  \sigma  *R^2    since  ( \int ^{xo}_{0} (x -x_o) f(x) \ dx = f(x_o) )

\mathbf{Q = 4 \pi R^2  \sigma  }

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?
Wewaii [24]
The correct option is A.
Fluorescent lamps have many advantages over incandescent lamps and the options given in B, C and D are part of these advantages. The option given in A is a disadvantage and not an advantage. This is because, as a result of operating at an higher temperature, it will gives out and radiate more heat.
