How many times did thomas edison fail before inventing the lightbulb

Physics
1 answer:
Rom4ik [11]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

he failed thousands of times

Explanation:

There is no known number for his failings. Edison may have failed in many of his experiments and in his schooling, but he had something better working in his favor. He had great determination and persistence.

He failed thousands of times in an attempt to develop an electric light, the great Edison simply viewed each unsuccessful experiment as the elimination of a solution that wouldn’t work, thereby moving him that much closer to a successful solution.

a ultrasonic wave at 8x10^4 Hz is emitted into a vien where the speed of sound in blood is 1570 m/s. the wave reflects off the r
Aneli [31]

Answer: 0.392 m/s

Explanation:

The Doppler shift equation is:

f'=\frac{V+V_{o}}{V-V_{s}} f

Where:

f=8(10)^{4} Hz is the actual frequency of the sound wave

f'=8.002(10)^{4} Hz is the "observed" frequency

V=1570 m/s is the speed of sound

V_{o}=0 m/s is the velocity of the observer, which is stationary

V_{s} is the velocity of the source, which are the red blood cells

Isolating V_{s}:

V_{s}=\frac{V(f'-f)}{f'}

V_{s}=\frac{1570 m/s(8.002(10)^{4} Hz-8(10)^{4} Hz)}{8.002(10)^{4} Hz}

Finally:

V_{s}=0.392 m/s

The pilot of an airplane notes that the compass indicates heading west. The airplane's speed relative to the air is 100 km/h. Th
irinina [24]
The airplane's speed relative to the ground is

                                     √ (100² + 25²)

                                 =  √ (10,000 + 625)

                                 =  √ 10,625

                                 =      103.08  km/hr .

The angle of its velocity north of west is
the angle whose tangent is  (25/100)

                         arctan(25/100) = 14° north of west .

PLEASEEEE HEEEEELP!!!!!
8090 [49]

Answer:

Before:

p_{truck}=16400\ kg.m/s

p_{car}=10000\ kg.m/s

After:

p_{truck}=8000\ kg.m/s

p_{car}=8400\ kg.m/s

v_{fcar}=8.4\ m/s

F=9333.33 \ Nw

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum</u>

Two objects of masses m1 and m2 moving at speeds v1o and v2o respectively have a total momentum of

p_1=m_1v_{1o}+m_2v_{2o}

After the collision, they have speeds of v1f and v2f and the total momentum is

p_2=m_1v_{1f}+m_2v_{2f}

Impulse J is defined as

J=F.t

Where F is the average impact force and t is the time it lasted

Also, the impulse is equal to the change of momentum

J=\Delta p

As the total momentum is conserved:

p_1=p_2

m_1v_{1o}+m_2v_{2o}=m_1v_{1f}+m_2v_{2f}

We can compute the speed of the second object by solving the above equation for v2f

\displaystyle v_{2f}=\frac{ m_1v_{1o}+m_2v_{2o} -m_1v_{1f} }{  m_2 }

The given data is

m_1=2000\ kg

m_2=1000\ kg\\v_{1o}=8.2\ m/s\\v_{2o}=0\ m/s\\v_{1f}=4\ m/s

a) The impulse will be computed at the very end of the answer

b) Before the collision

p_{truck}=2000\cdot 8.2=16400\ kg.m/s

p_{car}=1000\cdot 0=0\ kg.m/s

c) After collision

p_{truck}=2000\cdot 4=8000\ kg.m/s

Compute the car's speed:

\displaystyle v_{2f}=\frac{ 16400+0 -8000 }{ 1000 }

v_{2f}=8.4\ m/s

And the car's momentum is

p_{car}=1000\cdot 8.4=8400\ kg.m/s

The Impulse J of the system is zero because the total momentum is conserved, i.e. \Delta p=0.

We can compute the impulse for each object

J_1=\Delta p_1=2000(4-8.2)=-8400 \N.s

The force can be computed as

\displaystyle F=\frac{J}{t}=-\frac{8400}{0.9}=-9333.33 \ Nw

The force on the car has the same magnitude and opposite sign
