Answer:

The value of the distance is \bf{14.52~cm}.

Explanation:

The velocity of a particle(v) executing SHM is

v = \omega \sqrt{A^{2} - x^{2}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`~(1)

where, \omega is the angular frequency, A is the amplitude of the oscillation and x is the displacement of the particle at any instant of time.

The velocity of the particle will be maximum when the particle will cross its equilibrium position, i.e., x = 0.

The maximum velocity(\bf{v_{m}}) is

v_{m} = \omega A~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(2)

Divide equation (1) by equation(2).

\dfrac{v}{v_{m}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{A^{2} - x^{2}}}{A}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(3)

Given, v = 0.25 v_{m} and A = 15~cm. Substitute these values in equation (3).

&& \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{\sqrt{15^{2} - x^{2}}}{15}\\&or,& A = 14.52~cm

Suppose that in a lightning flash the potential difference between a cloud and the ground is 0.96×109 V and the quantity of char
Dvinal [7]

(a) 2.98\cdot 10^{10} J

The change in energy of the transferred charge is given by:

\Delta U = q \Delta V

where

q is the charge transferred

\Delta V is the potential difference between the ground and the clouds

Here we have

q=31 C

\Delta V = 0.96\cdot 10^9 V

So the change in energy is

\Delta U = (31 C)(0.96\cdot 10^9 V)=2.98\cdot 10^{10} J

(b) 7921 m/s

If the energy released is used to accelerate the car from rest, than its final kinetic energy would be

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 950 kg is the mass of the car

v is the final speed of the car

Here the energy given to the car is

K=2.98\cdot 10^{10} J

Therefore by re-arranging the equation, we find the final speed of the car:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.98\cdot 10^{10})}{950}}=7921 m/s

What is 0.40 as a fraction?
maxonik [38]
Please remember to post in the right category next time :)

.40 as a fraction is 4/10 or 2/5
the 4 is in the tenths place, so put it over a 10 to make it a fraction.
then, simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2, and you get 2/5
