Answer:

(I) The momentum of the system is greatest at the point midway between the points X1 and X2; that is X = 20cm. This is because the velocity is maximum at this point. This point is the equilibrium point of the system.

(II) The Kinetic energy of the system is also great at the point midway between the points X1 and X2; X = 20cm

(III) The total energy is greatest at multiple points.

Explanation:

The velocity is greatest at the equilibrium position of the system because the forces responsible for the to and fro movement of the system cancel out of balance up at this point. At any point where there is no net force acting, the acceleration is zero. So at this point the velocity of the body is not changing and has a maximum value. As a result the momentum and kinetic energy of the system will be maximum here too since moment = mv and kinetic energy = ½MV²

The total energy is always the sum of the kinetic and potential energy and at various points the values of the potential and kinetic energies vary from zero to maximum but the total energy is always constant. A simple diagramatic illustration will help to understand this concept. Check the attachment below.

Suppose electric power is supplied from two independent sources which work with probabilities 0.4, 0.5, respectively. if both so
sattari [20]

Answer:

The answers to the questions are as follows

a)  k = 0, P = 0.3

k = 1, P = 0.5

k = 0, P = 0.2

b) The probability that enough power will be available is 0.5.

Explanation:

To solve the question we write the parameters as follows

Probability that the first power source works = P(A) = 0.4

Probability that the second power source works = P(B) = 0.5

When both sources are supplying power  we have the probability = 1

If non of them is producing the probability = 0

a) The probability that exactly k sources work for k=0,1,2 is given by

For k = 0, probability = (1- P(A))× (1- P(B)) = 0.6 × 0.5 =0.3

Therefore the probabilities that exactly 0 source work  = 0.3

for k = 1 we have the probability = P(A)(1-P(B)) + P(B)(1-P(A)

= 0.4(1-0.5)+0.5(1-0.4) = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5

The probabilities that exactly 1 source work  = 0.5

for k = 2 we have the probability given by = P(A) × P(B) = 0.4 × 0.5 = 0.2

Therefore the  probability that exactly 2 sources work  = 0.2

b)  The probability that enough power will be available is

0 × P(k = 0) + 0.6 × P(k = 1) + 1 × P(k = 2)

0 × 0.2 + 0.6 × 0.5 + 1 × 0.2 = 0.5

The probability that enough power will be available is 0.5.

Why doesn't the force of gravity change the speed of a bowling ball as it rolls along a bowling lane?
Oliga [24]
Because the gravitational force, which points downward, is perfectly balanced by the normal reaction of the floor of the bowling lane, which points upward. The two forces are equal in magnitude, so the net force acting vertically on the bowling ball is zero, therefore there is no acceleration along this direction. Moreover, since the ball is moving in the horizontal direction, the gravitational force has no component along this direction, so it does not change the velocity of the ball.

What is the function of a switch? pls HELPPPPPP TYSMMMMM <3​
lesya [120]

Answer:

Connect multiple hosts: Normally, a switch provides a large number of ports for cable connections, allowing for star topology routing. It is usually used to connect multiple PCs to the network. Forwards a message to a specific host: Like a bridge, a switch uses the same forwarding or filtering logic on each port. When any host on the network or a switch sends a message to another host on the same network or the same switch, the switch receives and decodes the frames to read the physical (MAC) address portion of the message. Manage traffic: A switch in networking can manage traffic either coming into or exiting the network and can connect devices like computers and access points with ease. Keep electrical signal undistorted: When a switch forwards a frame, it regenerates an undistorted square electrical signal. Increase LAN bandwidth: A switch divides a LAN into multiple collision domains with independent broadband, thus greatly increasing the bandwidth of the LAN.

If you apply a little bit of force, one will move easier than the other since it is lighter.
