An object whose mass is 100 lb falls freely under the influence of gravity from an initial elevation of 600 ft above the surface

of Earth. The initial velocity is downward with a magnitude of 50 ft/s. The effect of air resistance is negligible. Determine the velocity, in ft/s, of the object just before it strikes Earth. Assume g = 31.5 ft/s

Answer with Explanations:

Given:

Mass of object, m = 100 lb

height fallen, h = 600 ft

initial velocity, u = 50 ft/s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 31.5 ft/s^2

Find final velocity when it touches ground.

Solution:

Use standard kinematics equation, in the absence of air resistance and variation of g with height,

v^2 - u^2 = 2aS

where

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration due to gravity

S = distance travelled

Substitute values

v^2 = u^2 + 2aS

= 50^2 + 2*31.5*600

= 40300 ft^2/s^2

Final velocity,

v = sqrt(40300) ft/s

= 200.75 ft/s

= 201 ft/s to the nearest foot.

How much work is done by the force that moves the charge?

mina [271]

Answer:

The work done by the force is 6μJ

Explanation:

Suppose, A 30 nC charge is moved from a point where V₁ = 130 V to a point where V₂ = -70 V.

We need to calculate the work done by the force

Using formula of work done

$W=-q\Delta V$

Where, q = charge

$\Delta V$ =potential difference

Put the value into the formula

$W=-30\times10^{-9}\times(-70-130)$

$W=0.000006\ J$

$W=6\times10^{-6}\ J$

$W=6\ \mu J$

Hence, The work done by the force is 6μJ.

Why do radio waves have the lowest frequency of all the waves on the electromagnetic spectrum?

lara [203]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are the waves which are created as the result of the electrical waves which are perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Electromagnetic spectrum is range of the frequencies and their respective wavelengths of the various type of the electromagnetic radiation.

In order of the increasing frequency and the photon energy and the decreasing wavelength the spectrum are:

radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.

The energy of the radio waves photons is the lowest of all the other waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Also, $E={h\times \nu}$

Where,

h is Plank's constant having value $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js$

Thus, energy is directly proportional to the frequency. The radio waves have the lowest frequency.

We would like to use the relation V(t)=I(t)RV(t)=I(t)R to find the voltage and current in the circuit as functions of time. To d

Answer:

V = -RC (dV/dt)

Solving the differential equation,

V(t) = V₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

where k = RC

Explanation:

V(t) = I(t) × R

The Current through the capacitor is given as the time rate of change of charge on the capacitor.

I(t) = -dQ/dt

But, the charge on a capacitor is given as

Q = CV

(dQ/dt) = (d/dt) (CV)

Since C is constant,

(dQ/dt) = (CdV/dt)

V(t) = I(t) × R

V(t) = -(CdV/dt) × R

V = -RC (dV/dt)

(dV/dt) = -(RC/V)

(dV/V) = -RC dt

∫ (dV/V) = ∫ -RC dt

Let k = RC

∫ (dV/V) = ∫ -k dt

Integrating the the left hand side from V₀ (the initial voltage of the capacitor) to V (the voltage of the resistor at any time) and the right hand side from 0 to t.

In V - In V₀ = -kt

In(V/V₀) = - kt

(V/V₀) = e⁻ᵏᵗ

V = V₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

V(t) = V₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

Hope this Helps!!!

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

$T_0=80695.17162...$

Explanation:

Given equation:

$\ln \left(\dfrac{T_0-100}{T_0}\right)=-0.00124$

To solve the given equation:

$\textsf{Apply log rules}: \quad e^{\ln (x)}=x$

$\implies \dfrac{T_0-100}{T_0}=e^{-0.00124}$

Multiply both sides by T₀:

$\implies T_0-100=T_0e^{-0.00124}$

Add 100 to both sides:

$\implies T_0=T_0e^{-0.00124}+100$

Subtract $T_0e^{-0.00124}$ from both sides:

$\implies T_0-T_0e^{-0.00124}=100$

Factor out the common term T₀:

$\implies T_0(1-e^{-0.00124})=100$

Divide both sides by $(1-e^{-0.00124})$

$\implies T_0=\dfrac{100}{1-e^{-0.00124}}$

Carry out the calculation:

$\implies T_0=\dfrac{100}{1-0.99876...}$

$\implies T_0=\dfrac{100}{0.001239231...}$

$\implies T_0=80695.17162...$
