Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Displacement is \frac{1}{3} of Amplitude

i.e. x=\frac{A}{3} , where A is maximum amplitude

Potential Energy is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

U=\frac{1}{2}k(\frac{A}{3})^2

U=\frac{1}{18}kA^2

Total Energy of SHM is given by

T.E.=\frac{1}{2}kA^2

Total Energy=kinetic Energy+Potential Energy

K.E.=\frac{1}{2}kA^2 -\frac{1}{18}kA^2

K.E.=\frac{8}{18}kA^2

Potential Energy is \frac{1}{8} th of Total Energy

Kinetic Energy is \frac{8}{9} of Total Energy

(c)Kinetic Energy is 0.5\times \frac{1}{2}kA^2

P.E.=\frac{1}{4}kA^2

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{4}kA^2

x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the amplitude is A.

Displacement, x = one third of the amplitude = A/3

The total energy of the body executing Simple Harmonic Motion is given by

T=\frac{1}{2}KA^{2}

(a) Kinetic energy of the particle executing SHM is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}K\left (A^{2} -x^{2} \right )

K=\frac{1}{2}K\left (A^{2} -\frac{A}{9}^{2} \right )

K=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{8A^{2}}{9}

So, the ratio of kinetic energy to the total energy is given by

K / T = 8 / 9

(b) Potential energy of a particle executing SHM is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}Kx^{2}

T=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{A^{2}}{9}

So, the ratio of potential energy to the total energy is given by

U / T = 1 / 9

(c) Let at a displacement y the kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy

\frac{1}{2}\times K\times \left ( A^{2}-y^{2} \right )=\frac{1}{2}\times K\times y^{2}

y=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}

A two-stage rocket moves in space at a constant velocity of +4300 m/s. The two stages are then separated by a small explosive ch
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

 v_{1f} = +3,394 103 m / s

Explanation:

We will solve this problem with the concept of the moment. Let's start by defining the system that is formed by the complete rocket before and after the explosions, bone with the two stages, for this system the moment is conserved.

The data they give is the mass of the first stage m1 = 2100 kg, the mass of the second stage m2 = 1160 kg and its final velocity v2f = +5940 m / s and the speed of the rocket before the explosion vo = +4300 m / s

The moment before the explosion

      p₀ = (m₁ + m₂) v₀

After the explosion

      pf = m₁ v_{1f} + m₂ v_{2f}

     p₀ = [texpv_{f}[/tex]

     (m₁ + m₂) v₀ = m₁ v_{1f} + m₂ v_{2f}

Let's calculate the final speed (v1f) of the first stage

     v_{1f} = ((m₁ + m₂) v₀ - m₂ v_{2f}) / m₁

     

     v_{1f} = ((2100 +1160) 4300 - 1160 5940) / 2100

     v_{1f} = (14,018 10 6 - 6,890 106) / 2100

     v_{1f} = 7,128 106/2100

     v_{1f} = +3,394 103 m / s

come the same direction of the final stage, but more slowly

The answer and how to do it
Arturiano [62]
Current = charge per second
2 Coulombs per second = 2 Amperes

Potential difference = (current)x(resistance) in volts.

That's (2 Amperes) x (2 ohms).

That's how to do it.
I think you can find the answer now.
