An object is released from rest at time t = 0 and falls through the air, which exerts a resistive force such that the accelerati

on a of the object is given by a = g bv, where v is the object's speed and b is a constant. If limiting cases for large and small values of t are considered, which of the following is a possible expression for the speed of the object as an explicit function of time? A) v = g(1-e^-bt)/b B) v = (ge^bt)/b C) v = (g+a)t/b

Answer:

A) \frac{g}{b}(1-e^{-bt})

Explanation:

Since a = g - bv,

We can substitute a = dv/dt into the equation.

Then, the equation will be like dv/dt = g - bv.

So we got first order differential equation.

As known, v = 0 at t = 0, and v = g/b at t = ∞.

Since \frac{dv}{dt}= g - bv = b( \frac{g}{b} - v) ⇒ \frac{dv}{ \frac{g}{b} - v}= bdt

So take the integral of both side.

- ln (\frac{g}{b} - v) = bt + C

Since for t=0, v = 0 ⇒ C =- ln (\frac{g}{b})

v = \frac{g}{b} + e^{-bt-ln(\frac{g}{b})} = \frac{g}{b}- \frac{g}{b}e^{-bt} = \frac{g}{b}(1-e^{-bt})

A train travels 99 kilometers in 2 hours, and then 90 kilometers in 3 hours. What is its average speed?
Agata [3.3K]

Average speed =

(total distance)/(total time)

Average speed = (99+90)/(2+3)

That's (189 km) / (5 hr)

Average speed = 37.8 km/hr

Suppose (for this statement only), that q is moved from the origin but is still within both the surfaces. The flux through both
o-na [289]

Answer:

-True  - True  - true   - false -false - false

Explanation:

  • True The flow depends only on the charge into the surface, not on the relative position
  • True The two vectors are radial, so their relative direction  do not changes
  • True It just depends on the charge inside
  • False, it only depends on the charge, not on the form from the integration surface
  • False, because if it has a load inside it can be considered in the center, but if the load is outside the flow lines change direction with respect to the surface
  • False The flow depends only on the load inside, not on its position

When the displacement of a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion is A/2 from the equilibrium position, what fraction of the
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The ratio is  KE : TM  =  0.75

Explanation:

from the question we are told that

  The displacement of a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion is A/2 from the equilibrium position

Generally the total mechanical  energy of the mass is mathematically represented as

        TM  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  A^2

Here  k is the spring constant  ,  A is the total displacement of the  the mass  from maximum  compression to maximum extension of the spring

Generally this total mechanical energy is mathematically represented as

        TM  =  KE  + PE

=>     KE = TM  - PE

Here the potential  energy of the mass is mathematically represented as

     PE   = \frac{1}{ 2}  *  k *  [ x ]^2

Here x is the displacement of the mass from maximum compression or extension of the spring to equilibrium position and the value is  

      x = \frac{A}{2}

So

     PE   = \frac{1}{ 2}  *  k *  [ \frac{A}{2}  ]^2

So

      KE =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  A^2 - \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  [\frac{A}{2} ]^2

=>    KE =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  A^2 - \frac{1}{8}  *  k  *  A ^2

=>    KE =  0.375  *  k  *  A^2

So the ratio of  KE :  TM is  mathematically represented as

       \frac{KE}{TM} =  \frac{0.375  k A^2 }{0.5 k A^2}

=>    \frac{KE}{TM} = 0.75

Suppose the earth is shaped as a sphere with radius 4,0004,000 miles and suppose it rotates once every 24 hours. How many miles
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

1047 miles

Explanation:

The radius of the Earth is

r = 4000 (miles)

So its circumference, which is the total length of the equator, is given by

L=2\pi r= 2\pi(4000)=25133 mi

Now we know that the Earth rotates once every 24 hours. So the distance through which the equator moves in one hour is equal to its total length divided by the number of hours, 24:

L' = \frac{25133 mi}{24h}=1047 mi
