Answer:

0.82 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum = Final momentum.

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')......................... equation 1

Where m = mass of Lillian, u = initial velocity of Lillian before she catches the dog, m' = mass of the dog, u' = initial velocity of the dog, V = velocity of Lillian and the dog.

make V the subject of the equation,

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m')................ Equation 2

Given: m = 40 kg, m' = 15 kg, u = 0 m/s (Lillian was standing at rest), u' = 3.0 m/s.

Substitute into equation 2

V = (40×0+15×3)/(40+15)

V = (0+45)/55

V = 45/55

V = 0.82 m/s

In an RC circuit, what fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The  fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is  

      k  = 0.903

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The time  constant  \tau  =  3

The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- \tau})

Where V_o is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged

    So   at  \tau  =  3

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- 3})

     V  =  0.950213 V_o

   Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as

             E = \frac{1}{2 } * C  * V ^2

In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor

Now  since capacitance is  constant  at  \tau  =  3

        The  energy stored can be evaluated at as

         V^2 =  (0.950213 V_o )^2

       V^2 =  0.903  V_o ^2

Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is  

      k  = 0.903
