Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

t = 4.7 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (4.7 s) + ½ (9.8 m/s²) (4.7 s)²

Δy ≈ 110 m

Assume that a resistor is connected between the 150 V terminal and the common terminal. The voltmeter is then connected to an un

Lena [83]

Answer: $316.8V$

Explanation:

given data:

metre moving current = $0.96mA$

meters voltage = $288V$

or $0.96*300V = 288V$

Solution:

$v1 = (0.96mA*150)$

$= 144V$

$i1 = \frac{144v}{750}$

$= 0.192mA$

$i2 = imovement + i1$

$i2= 0.96mA+0.192mA$

$= 1.152mA$

$Vmeasured = 144V+(150)(1.152mA)$

$=316.8V$

the unknown voltage is 316.8V

A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has 8.38 J of energy stored in it. The separation between the plates is 2.30 mm. If the separa

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

plate separation = 2.3 x 10⁻³ m

capacity C₁ = ε A / d

= ε A / 2.3 x 10⁻³

C₂ = ε A / 1.15 x 10⁻³

$\frac{C_2}{C_1}$ = $\frac{2.3}{1.15}$

a ) when charge remains constant

energy = $\frac{q^2}{2C}$

q is charge and C is capacity

energy stored initially E₁= $\frac{q^2}{2C_1}$

energy stored finally E₂ = $\frac{q^2}{2C_2}$

$\frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{C_2}{C_1}$ = $\frac{2.3}{1.15}$

$E_2$ = $\frac{1.15}{2.3 } \times E_1$

= $\frac{1.15}{2.3 } \times 8.38$

= 4.19 J

b )

In this case potential diff remains constant

energy of capacitor = 1/2 C V²

energy is proportional to capacity as V is constant .

$\frac{E_2}{E_1} = \frac{C_2}{C_1}$

$\frac{E_2}{8.38} = \frac{2.3}{1.15}$

$E_2$ = 16.76 .

A satellite orbits the earth at a speed of 8.0x 10^3m/s . Calculate the period of orbit of the satellite if the distance between

gladu [14]

Hi there!

The period of an orbit can be found by:

$T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}$

T = Period (? s)
r = radius of orbit (6400000 m)

v = speed of the satellite (8000 m/s)

This is the same as the distance = vt equation. The total distance traveled by the satellite is the circumference of its circular orbit.

Let's plug in what we know and solve.

$T = \frac{2\pi (6400000)}{8000} = \boxed{5026.55 s}$

A constant force of 11.8 N in the positive x direction acts on a 4.7-kg object as it moves from the origin to the point (1.6i –

zhenek [66]

Answer:

W = 18.88 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Constant force, F = 11.8 N (in +x direction)

Mass of an object, m = 4.7 kg

The object moves from the origin to the point (1.6i – 4.6j) m

We need to find the work is done by the given force during this displacement. The work done by an object is given by the formula as follows :

$W=F{\cdot} d\\\\W=(11.8i){\cdot} (1.6i-4.6j)\\\\=11.8\times 1.6\\\\=18.88\ J$

So, the work done by the given force is 18.88 J.

After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.3 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.3 kg

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a) 4.2m/s

b) 5.0m/s

Explanation:

This problem is solved using the principle of conservation of linear momentum which states that in a closed system of colliding bodies, the sum of the total momenta before collision is equal to the sum of the total momenta after collision.

The problem is also an illustration of elastic collision where there is no loss in kinetic energy.

Equation (1) is a mathematical representation of the the principle of conservation of linear momentum for two colliding bodies of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ whose respective velocities before collision are $u_1$ and $u_2$ ;
