Definition of energy: Energy is the ability of a body to do work.

EXPLANATION:

Work and energy are inter convertible in nature. When work is done on the body or by the body, some amount of energy will be utilized in that process. On the other hand, we may say that work is done in the expense of energy.

Hence, energy of a substance can be defined as the capacity of that substance to do work.

For instance, we may take an example of rubbing of hands. When we rub our two hands together, we do some amount of work. That work is equivalent to the heat produced in our hands.

When a body moves with certain velocity , it gains some kinetic energy. The work done by that body is nothing else than the change in kinetic energy of the body.

If the element gallium has an atomic number of 31 and an atomic mass of 70, how many neutrons does it have?

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The answer is 39.

Explanation:

The atomic number refers to the number of protons and the atomic mass is the sum of the protons and neutrons. So, you would just do 70 - 31 and that gets you 39.

The electric-power industry is interested in finding a way to store electric energy during times of low demand for use during pe

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: True

Explanation: Inductors are similar to resistors, due to the fact that they offer resistance to current flow, but Inductors are different from resistors in that, while resistors loss electric energy in a circuit in the form of heat, an inductor stores that energy in the form of a magnetic field.

As current passes through an inductor overtime it tends to store current in the form of magnetic field. Therefore the electric-power industry can store energy in large Inductors.

A person travels from New York to Washington at the rate of 45 km per hour and

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The average speed for the whole journey is 49.5 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Step 1 :

Here, both the ways, he covers the same distance. Then, the formula to find average speed is

= 2xy / (x+y)

Step 2 :

x ----> Rate at which he travels from New York to Washington

x = 45

y ----> Rate at which he travels from New York to Washington

y = 55

Step 3 :

So, the average speed is

= (2 ⋅ 45 ⋅ 55) / (45 + 55)

= 4950 / 100

= 49.5

to 10 Hz. Superimposed on this signal is 60-Hz noise with an amplitude of 0.1 V. It is desired to attenuate the 60-Hz signal to

givi [52]

Answer:

$G \sqrt{1 +(\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}} = 1$

If we square both sides we got:

$G^2 (1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}= 1$

We divide both sides by $G^2$ and we got:

$(1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n} = \frac{1}{G^2}$

Now we can apply log on both sides and we got:

$2n ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c}) = ln (\frac{1}{G^2})$

And solving for n we got:

$n = \frac{ ln (\frac{1}{G^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c})}$

And replacing we got:

$n = \frac{ln (\frac{1}{0.1^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{60}{10})}$

$n = \frac{4.60517}{3.8918}=1.18$

And since n needs to be an integer the correct answer would be n=2 for the filter order.

Explanation:

For this case we can use the formula for the Butterworth filter gain given by:

[tec] G = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 +(\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}}}[/tex]

Where:

G represent the transfer function and we want that G =0.1 since the desired signal is less than 10% of it's value

$f_c = 10 Hz$ represent the corner frequency

$f= 60 Hz$ represent the original frequency

n represent the filter order and that's the variable that we need to find

$G \sqrt{1 +(\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}} = 1$

If we square both sides we got:

$G^2 (1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}= 1$

We divide both sides by $G^2$ and we got:

$(1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n} = \frac{1}{G^2}$

Now we can apply log on both sides and we got:

$2n ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c}) = ln (\frac{1}{G^2})$

And solving for n we got:

$n = \frac{ ln (\frac{1}{G^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c})}$

And replacing we got:

$n = \frac{ln (\frac{1}{0.1^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{60}{10})}$

$n = \frac{4.60517}{3.8918}=1.18$

And since n needs to be an integer the correct answer would be n=2 for the filter order.
