If $1,800 is invested in a savings account offering interest at a rate of 4.5% per year, compounded continuously, how fast is th

Archy [21]3 years ago

Answer:

The total amount after 3 years is = $ 2054.10

Explanation:

Given data

Principal Amount (P) = $ 1800

Rate of interest (R) = 4.5 %

Thus the total amount after 3 years compounded annually is given by the formula = P × $[1 +\frac{R}{100} ]^{3}$

⇒ 1800 × $[1 +\frac{4.5}{100} ]^{3}$

⇒ 2054.10

Thus the total amount after 3 years is = $ 2054.10

Compound interest earned in three years = 2054.10 - 1800 = $ 254.10

How do I differentiate between final and initial velocity in Physics?

pychu [463]

Answer:

Initial velocity describes how fast an object travels when gravity first applies force on the object. On the other hand, the final velocity is a vector quantity that measures the speed and direction of a moving body after it has reached its maximum acceleration.

A mass of 0.5 kg hangs motionless from a vertical spring whose length is 1.10 m and whose unstretched length is 0.50 m. Next the

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The maximum length during the motion is $L_{max} = 1.45m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass is $m =0.5 kg$

The vertical spring length is $L = 1.10m$

The unstretched length is $L_{un} = 1.30m$

The initial speed is $v_i = 1.3m/s$

The new length of the spring $L_{new} = 1.30 m$

The spring constant k is mathematically represented as

$k = -\frac{F}{y}$

Where F is the force applied $= m * g = 0.5 * 9.8=4.9N$

y is the difference in weight which is $=1.10-0.50=0.6m$

The negative sign is because the displacement of the spring (i.e its extension occurs against the force F)

Now substituting values accordingly

$k = \frac{4.9}{0.6}$

$= 8.17 N/m$

The elastic potential energy is given as $E_{PE} = \frac{1}{2} k D^2$

where D is this the is the displacement

Since Energy is conserved the total elastic potential energy would be

$E_T = initial \ elastic\ potential \ energy + kinetic \ energy$

$E_T = \frac{1}{2} k D_{max}^2 = \frac{1}{2} k D^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Substituting value accordingly

$\frac{1}{2} *8.17 *D_{max}^2 =\frac{1}{2} * 8.17*(1.30 - 0.50)^2 + \frac{1}{2} * 0.5 *1.30^2$

$4.085 * D_{max}^2 = 3.69$

$D^2_{max} = 0.9033$

$D_{max} = 0.950m$

So to obtain total length we would add the unstretched length

So we have

$L_{max} = 0.950 + 0.5 = 1.45m$

When making maps of the large-scale universe, astronomers estimate distances to the vast majority of galaxies by using:

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

<em>The comoving distance and the proper distance scale</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The comoving distance scale removes the effects of the expansion of the universe, which leaves us with a distance that does not change in time due to the expansion of space (since space is constantly expanding). The comoving distance and proper distance are defined to be equal at the present time; therefore, the ratio of proper distance to comoving distance now is 1. The scale factor is sometimes not equal to 1. The distance between masses in the universe may change due to other, local factors like the motion of a galaxy within a cluster. Finally, we note that the expansion of the Universe results in the proper distance changing, but the comoving distance is unchanged by an expanding universe.
