Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity be v

Total energy at the bottom

= rotational + linear kinetic energy

= 1/2 Iω² + 1/2 mv² ( I moment of inertia of shell = mr² )

= 1/2 mr²ω² + 1/2 mv² ( v = ω r )

= 1/2 mv² +1/2 mv²

= mv²

mv² = mgh ( conservation of energy )

v² = gh

v = √gh

= √9.8 x 1.8

= 4.2 m /s

Answer:

A. Time Division multiple Access (TDMA)

Explanation:

Time-division multiple access (TDMA) is a channel access method for shared-medium networks

It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using its own time slot.

A thermistor is placed in a 100 °C environment and its resistance measured as 20,000 Ω. The material constant, β, for this therm

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

the thermistor temperature = $325.68 \ ^0 \ C$

Explanation:

Given that:

A thermistor is placed in a 100 °C environment and its resistance measured as 20,000 Ω.

i.e Temperature

$T_1 = 100^0C\\T_1 = (100+273)K\\\\T_1 = 373\ K$

Resistance of the thermistor $R_1 =$ 20,000 ohms

Material constant $\beta$ = 3650

Resistance of the thermistor $R_2$ = 500 ohms

Using the equation :

$R_1 = R_2 \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$\frac{R_1}{ R_2} = \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

Taking log of both sides

$In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2} = In \ \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2} = {\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$\frac{ In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2}}{ {\beta}} = (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$\frac{1}{T_2} = \frac{1}{T_1} - \frac{ In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2}}{ {\beta}}$

${T_2} = \frac{\beta T_1}{\beta - In (\frac{R_1}{R_2})T}$

Replacing our values into the above equation :

${T_2} = \frac{3650*373}{3650 - In (\frac{20000}{500})373}$

${T_2} = \frac{1361450}{3650 - 3.6888*373}$

${T_2} = \frac{1361450}{3650 - 1375.92}$

${T_2} = \frac{1361450}{2274.08}$

${T_2} = 598.68 \ K$

${T_2} = 325.68 \ ^0 \ C$

Thus, the thermistor temperature = $325.68 \ ^0 \ C$

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

v = √2G $M_{earth}$ / R

Explanation:

For this problem we use energy conservation, the energy initiated is potential and kinetic and the final energy is only potential (infinite r)

Eo = K + U = ½ m1 v² - G m1 m2 / r1

Ef = - G m1 m2 / r2

When the body is at a distance R> Re, for the furthest point (r2) let's call it Rinf

Eo = Ef

½ m1v² - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R = - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

v² = 2G $M_{earth}$ (1 / R - 1 / Rinf)

If we do Rinf = infinity 1 / Rinf = 0

v = √2G $M_{earth}$ / R

Ef = = - G m1 m2 / R

The mechanical energy is conserved

Em = -G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

Em = - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

R = int ⇒ Em = 0
