If a 20 gram bird and a 0.001 gram mosquito are moving at the same speed, which has the higher kinetic energy?why?

Physics

MissTica3 years ago

Answer:

The bird has 20,000 times higher kinetic energy than the mosquito.

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy shows that the amount of energy is proportional to the mass:

E_k=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

The velocity of both objects being the same, the mass is the determiner. The ratio of the kinetic energy of the bird and the mosquito then becomes the ratio of their masses, i.e., 0.02kg/0.00001kg. The bird's energy is 20,000 times higher than that of the mosquito. This proportion becomes more believable if you imagine the event of a distracted errant bird colliding with your head, versus a confused mosquito colliding with your head.

If the voltage across the first capacitor (the one with capacitance
RoseWind [281]
The answer to this question is: it depends. It depends on the arrangement of the capacitors in a circuit: it can be either in series or in parallel. The difference is shown in the picture. 

Capacitors are like batteries in a way that they store power from the source. It has some rules depending on the type of circuit. For parallel circuits, the voltage across each capacitor is equal. Therefore, V₁=V₂=V₃.

On the other hand, if the capacitors are arranged in series, the voltage across each capacitor should add up to the total voltage of the source. Therefore, V₁+V₂+V₃ = Total Voltage.

Satellite A has an orbital radius 3.00 times greater than that of satellite B. Satellite B's orbital period around Earth is 120
igomit [66]

Answer:

To find the circumference (orbit) of an object, you use Pi x Diameter. 

As you have the circumference of B, you divide it by Pi to get the Diameter. 

So 120 divided by 3.141592654 = 38.2 minutes for the Diameter. 

As' radius and Diameter will be 3x greater than B. 

38.2 x 3 = 114.6 

To get back to the orbital period, times 114.6 by Pi, and you will get 360 minutes

If the angular frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the maximum acceleration
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

When we double the angular velocity the maximum acceleration (a_{max}) will changes by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

Given the angular frequency (\omega) of the simple harmonic oscillator is doubled.

We need to find the change in the maximum acceleration of the oscillator.

a_{max}=A\omega^2

Now, according to the problem, the angular frequency (\omega) got doubled.

Let us plug \omega=2\times \omega. Then the maximum acceleration will be a_{max'}

a_{max}=A\omega^2

a_{max'}=A(2\times \omega)^2\\a_{max'}=A\times 4\omega\\a_{max'}=4A\omega

a_{max'}=4a_{max}

We can see, when we double the angular velocity the maximum acceleration will changes by a factor of 4.
