Answer:

  • v_{top} = 61.96 \frac{mi}{h}

Explanation:

To express the cheetah's top speed in miles per hour, we just need to find the conversion factor.

We know that the top speed is

v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s}

So, we want to obtain miles from meters and hours from seconds.

<h3>miles from meters</h3>

First we write the equivalence:

1609.34 \ m = 1 \ mi

Now, we can divide by 1609.34 meters on both sides:

\frac{1609.34 \ m}{ 1609.34 \ m} = \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

The left sides equals 1, so

1 = \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

And this is our conversion factor from meters to miles. Now, we can multiply our top speed by this conversion factor, as the conversion factor equals one, and is dimensionless, the physical meaning will be the same.

v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s} * \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s} * \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

v_{top} = 0.0172120 \frac{mi}{s}

This is the top speed in miles per second, now, for obtaining miles per hour:

<h3>hours from seconds</h3>

We can do pretty much the same, first, the equivalence:

1 \ h = 3600 \ s

as the seconds are dividing in the velocity, we know divide by 1 hour.

\frac{1 \ h}{ 1 \ h} = \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}

1 = \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}

and know we just multiply our top speed by this conversion factor

v_{top} = 0.0172120 \frac{mi}{s}  \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}

v_{top} = 61.96 \frac{mi}{h}

trapecia [35]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. From this conservation we will find the magnitude of the amplitude. Later for the second part, we will need to find the period, from which it will be possible to obtain the speed of the body.

A) Conservation of Energy,

KE = PE

\frac{1}{2} mv ^2 = \frac{1}{2} k A^2

Here,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

k = Spring constant

A = Amplitude

Rearranging to find the Amplitude we have,

A = \sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}

Replacing,

A = \sqrt{\frac{(0.750)(31*10^{-2})^2}{13}}

A = 0.0744m

(B) For this part we will begin by applying the concept of Period, this in order to find the speed defined in the mass-spring systems.

The Period is defined as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

Replacing,

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.750}{13}}

T= 1.509s

Now the velocity is described as,

v = \frac{2\pi}{T} * \sqrt{A^2-x^2}

v = \frac{2\pi}{T} * \sqrt{A^2-0.75A^2}

We have all the values, then replacing,

v = \frac{2\pi}{1.509}\sqrt{(0.0744)^2-(0.750(0.0744))^2}

v = 0.2049m/s

fgiga [73]

Answer:

the final energy of the system is 35.5 kJ.

Explanation:

Given;

initial energy of the system, E₁ = 10 kJ

heat transferred to the system, q₁  30 kJ

Heat lost to the surrounding, q₂ = 5kJ

heat gained by the system, Q = q₁ - q₂ = 30 kJ - 5kJ = 25 kJ

work done on the system, W = 500 J = 0.5 kJ

Apply first law of thermodynamic,

ΔU = Q + W

where;

ΔU  is change in internal energy

Q is the heat gained by the system

W is work done on the system

ΔU = 25kJ + 0.5 kJ

ΔU = 25.5 kJ

The final energy of the system is calculated as;

E₂ = E₁ + ΔU

E₂ = 10 kJ + 25.5 kJ

E₂ =  35.5 kJ.

Therefore, the final energy of the system is 35.5 kJ.

As the scattering angle of the photon increases, what happens to the wavelength associated with the photon?
frez [133]

As the scattering angle of the photon increases, the wavelength associated with the photon increases.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The particle with quantum mechanical property is known as Compton wavelength. The wavelength of a photon increases during collision. When the scattering angle of the photon is 0 degree then the photon's wavelength increases by 0 and when the scattering angle  is 180 degree then the wavelength of  the photon will become double. This is known as Compton wavelength.

When a photon undergoes collision process, the photo loses its energy and this energy is transferred to the electrons. This causes energy of the photon to decrease and thus the frequency also decreases. Thus, the wavelength of the photon will increase.

In a certain process, the energy of the system decreases by 250 kJ. The process involves 480 kJ of work done on the system. Find
gregori [183]

Answer:

Q = - 730 KJ

730 KJ is transferred out of the system

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be transformed from one form to another.

For a particular process/system, the first law is interpreted as

ΔU = Q + W (depending on convention, some textbooks give this relation as ΔU = Q - W)

ΔU is the change in internal energy of the system, in my convention, it is positive if the internal energy increases and negative otherwise.

Q = Heat transferred into or out of the system. Q is positive for heat transferred into the system and negative for heat transferred out of the system.

W = workdone by the system or work done on the system. W is positive for workdone on the system and W is negative for when work is done by the system.

ΔU decreases by 250 KJ, that is, ΔU = - 250 KJ

Q = ?

W = 480 KJ (Work is done on the system)

- 250 = Q + 480

Q = - 250 - 480 = - 730 KJ

The heat is transferred out of the system.
