A 2.0-Coulomb bead is given 20 Joules of electric potential energy by lifting it from the "ground" to point A. If a second bead

Katen [24]

Answer:

40 J

Explanation:

$c_1$ = 4 C

$c_2$ = 2 C

$U_1$ = 20 J

The potential energy is directly proportional to the charge of the particle

$U\propto c$

$\dfrac{U_2}{U_1}=\dfrac{c_2}{c_1}\\\Rightarrow U_2=\dfrac{U_1c_2}{c_1}\\\Rightarrow U_2=\dfrac{20\times 4}{2}\\\Rightarrow U_2=40\ J$

The potential energy expected is 40 J

A railroad train is traveling at a speed of 26.0 m/s in still air. The frequency of the note emitted by the locomotive whistle i

olga55 [171]

Answer: 0.757m; 0.881m; 432.70Hz; 371.89Hz

Explanation:

Give the following :

Velocity of train (Vt) = 26m/s

Frequency of sound (Fs) = 420Hz

Speed of sound (Vs) = 344m/s

1) wavelength = (Vs - Vt) / Fs

Wavelength = (344 - 26) / 420 = 318/420 = 0.757m

11) Wavelength = (Vs + Vt) / Fs

Wavelength = (344 + 26) / 420 = 370/420 = 0.881m

111) According to the doppler effect :

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = frequency of listener ; fs = frequency of sound source ; V = speed of sound ; Vl = Velocity of listener ; Vs = speed of sound source

Vs = - ve (train moving towards listener)

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = [(344 + 0) / (344 - 26)] * 400

Fl = (344 / 318) * 400 = 432.70Hz

1V) Vs = + ve (train moving away listener)

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = [(344 + 0) / (344 + 26)] * 400

Fl = (344 / 370) * 400 = 371.89Hz

A car is moving with speed 20 m/s and acceleration 2 m/s2 at a given instant. Using a second-degree Taylor polynomial, estimate

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

$T(1)=21$

Explanation:

The equation of the position in kinematics is given:

$x(t)=x_{0}+v_{0}t+0.5at^{2}$

x(0) is the initial position, in this it is 0
v(0) is the initial velocity (20 m/s)
a is the acceleration (2 m/s²)

So the equation will be:

$x(t)=20t+0.5*2*t^{2}$

$x(t)=20t+t^{2}$

Now, the Taylor polynomial equation is:

$f(a)+\frac{f'(a)}{1!}(x-a)+\frac{f''(a)}{2!}(x-a)^{2}+...$

Using our position equation we can find f'(t)=v(t) and f''(x)=a(t). In our case a=0, so let's find each derivative.

$f(t)=x(t)=20t+t^{2}$

$f'(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}=v(t)=20+2t$

$f''(t)=\frac{dv(t)}{dt}=a(t)=2$

Using the Taylor polynomial with a = 0 and take just the second order of the derivative.

$f(0)+\frac{f'(0)}{1!}(x)+\frac{f''(0)}{2!}(x)^{2}$

$f(0)=x(0)=0$

$f'(0)=v(0)=20$

$f''(0)=a(0)=2$

$T(t)=f(0)+\frac{f'(0)}{1!}(t)+\frac{f''(0)}{2!}(t)^{2}$

$T(t)=\frac{20}{1!}(t)+\frac{2}{2!}(t)^{2}$

$T(t)=20t+t^{2}$

Let's put t=1 so find the how far the car moves in the next second:

$T(1)=20*1+1^{2}$

$T(1)=21$

Therefore, the position in the next second is 21 m.

We need to know if the acceleration remains at this value to use this polynomial in the next minute, so I suggest that it would be reasonable to use this method just under this condition.

I hope it helps you!

Where are the sun's rays the strongest, which makes the ocean water the warmest ?

IgorC [24]

The Gamma Rays are the strongest. This would be located near the core of the sun. What makes ocean water the warmest depends on the season we are in. This is all due to the energy input into the sun.
