a) 5.0 m/s
This first part of the problem can be solved by using the conservation of energy. In fact, the mechanical energy of the girl just after she jumps is equal to her kinetic energy:
where m1 = 60 kg is the girl's mass and v1 = 8.0 m/s is her initial velocity.
When she reaches the height of h = 2.0 m, her mechanical energy is sum of kinetic energy and potential energy:
where v2 is the new speed of the girl (before grabbing the box), and h = 2.0m. Equalizing the two equations (because the mechanical energy is conserved), we find
b) 4.0 m/s
After the girl grab the box, the total momentum of the system must be conserved. This means that the initial momentum of the girl must be equal to the total momentum of the girl+box after the girl catches the box:
where m2 = 15 kg is the mass of the box. Solving the equation for v3, the combined velocity of the girl+box, we find
c) 2.8 m
We can use again the law of conservation of energy. The total mechanical energy of the girl after she catches the box is sum of kinetic energy and potential energy:
While at the maximum height, the speed is zero, so all the mechanical energy is just potential energy:
where h_max is the maximum height. Equalizing the two expressions (because the mechanical energy must be conserved) and solving for h_max, we find
Answer:
CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF
Explanation:
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the following formula:
C = ε₀A/d
where,
C = Capacitance
ε₀ = Permeability of free space
A = Area of plates
d = Distance between plates
FOR CAPACITOR A:
C = CA = 17.8 nF = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F
A = A₁
d = d₁
Therefore,
CA = ε₀A₁/d₁ = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F ----------------- equation 1
FOR CAPACITOR B:
C = CB = ?
A = A₁/2
d = 2 d₁
Therefore,
CB = ε₀(A₁/2)/2d₁
CB = (1/4)(ε₀A₁/d₁)
using equation 1:
CB = (1/4)(17.8 X 10⁻⁹ F)
<u>CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF</u>
Answer:
95 J
Explanation:
You can calculate efficiency by dividing useful output by total input, then multiplying it to 100.
So the foumula goes like:
Efficiency= (Useful output/Total input)x100
In this question,
Efficiency= 95%
Useful output= x
Total input= 200
Therefore;
95=(x/200)x100
0.95=x/100
x=0.95x100
x=95 Joules
Answer:
acceleration 8 km/h/s south
Explanation:
First of all, let's remind that a vector quantity is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction.
Based on this definition, we can already rule out the following two choices:
distance: 40 km
speed: 40 km/h
Since they only have magnitude, they are not vectors.
Then, the following option:
velocity: 5 km/h north
is wrong, because the car is moving south, not north.
So, the correct choice is
acceleration 8 km/h/s south
In fact, the acceleration can be calculated as
where
v = 40 km/h is the final velocity
u = 0 is the initial velocity
t = 5 s is the time
Substituting,
And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the velocity (south).
