Why is Vy negative and not positive because I solved it and it resulted in a positive number?

Explanation:

You are given the initial velocity, the displacement, and the acceleration.  You're looking for the final velocity.  So you use the equation:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

When you solve for v, you take the square root.  Your calculator will return a positive answer, but there are actually two possible answers: positive and negative.

v = ±√(v₀² + 2aΔy)

You must use the physical context of the problem.  If we take up to be the positive direction, then v must be negative, since the projectile is moving down.

An RLC circuit is used in a radio to tune into the radio lagos fm Station broadcasting at 93.5Hz. The resistance is 15ohms and t
bazaltina [42]

The characteristics of the RLC circuit allow to find the result for the capacitance at a resonance of 93.5 Hz is:

  • Capacitance is C = 1.8 10⁻⁶ F

A series RLC circuit reaches the maximum signal for a specific frequency, called the resonance frequency, this value depends on the impedance of the circuit.

            Z^2 = R^2 + ( wL - \frac{1}{wC} )^2  

Where Z is the impedance of the circuit, R the resistance, L the inductance, C the capacitance and w the angular velocity. The negative sign is due to the fact that the current in the capacitor and the inductor are out of phase.

In the case of resonance, the impedance term completes the circuit as a resistive system.

           wL - \frac{1}{wC} = 0  \\w^2 = \frac{1}{LC}  

           

Indicate that the inductance L = 1.6 H and the frequency f = 93.5 Hz.

Angular velocity and frequency are related.

         

         w = 2π f

           

Let's  substitute.

          C = \frac{1}{L ( 2 \pi f)^2 }  

 

Let's calculate.

         C = \frac{1}{1.6 \ ( 2\pi \ 93.5)^2}  

         C = 1.8 10⁻⁶ F

In conclusion with the characteristics of the RLC circuits we can find the result for the capacitance at a 93.5 Hz resonance is:

  • Capacitance is C = 1.8 10⁻⁶ F

Projectiles Launched Horizontally Quiz
NikAS [45]

Answer:

3.0 seconds

Explanation:

The time of flight of a projectile (the time it takes to reach the ground) does not depend on the horizontal motion, but only on its vertical motion.

In fact, the time of flight is determined by the suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s is the vertical displacement

u is the initial vertical velocity (0, in case of these two projectiles)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (assuming downward as positive direction)

t is the time of flight

Re-arranging the equation, we get

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{g}}

We see that this time depends only on s (the heigth of the cliff) and g: therefore, since the two projectiles are launched from the same height, they take the same time to reach the ground, 3.0 seconds.

aliya0001 [1]

Venus has the slowest rotation rate.
It takes Venus  243.7 Earth days to rotate once.

Planet           Period

Venus          243.7 (Earth) days
Mercury        58.8 days
Pluto              6.4 days
Mars            24.6 hours
Earth           23.9 hours
Uranus        17.2 hours
Neptune       16.1 hours
Saturn          10.7 hours
Jupiter            9.9 hours

Interesting . . . the largest planet rotates the fastest.
I wonder why that is.
