Answer:

Explanation:

If we let our reference frame travel at 30 m/s with the constant speed car, The accelerating car increases its velocity by 10 m/s in 3 seconds.

The average velocity of the accelerating car is (0 + 10) / 2 = 5 m/s

It will advance its position 5 m/s(3 s) = 15 m in the accelerating period.

It takes 5 + 3 = 8 m for the two cars to become side by side.

It would take another 5 + 3 = 8 m for the accelerating car to leave a gap of 3 m between.

The car requires 8 + 8 = 16 m to pass the other safely but the acceleration period only gets him to 15 m.

So despite your saying this is not a YES / NO question, the answer is NO the acceleration is too low or not long enough to meet the required clearances.

Input needed is 10000 J/s / 0.30 = 333333 = J/s

three hours requires 333333(3)(3600) = 360 MJ of energy

360 MJ / 34 MJ/liter = 10.6 liters.

A spherical capacitor is formed from two concentric spherical conducting shells separated by vacuum. The inner sphere has a radi

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: a) 73.41 10^-12 F; b)4.83* 10^3 N/C; c) 3.66 *10^3 N/C

Explanation: To solve this problem we have to consider the following: The Capacity= Charge/Potential Difference

As we know the capacity is value that depend on the geometry of the capacitor, in our case two concentric spheres.

So Potential Difference between the spheres is given by:

ΔV=- $\int\limits^a_b {E} \, dx$

Where E = k*Q/ r^2

so we have $\int\limits^a_b {K+Q1/r} \, dr$

then

Vb-Va=k*Q(1/b-1/a)=kQ (ab/b-a)

Finally using C=Q/ΔV=ab/(k(b-a))

To caclulate the electric firld we first obtain the charge

Q=ΔV*C=120 V*73.41 10^-12 F=8.8 10^-9 C

so E=KQ/r^2 for both values of r

r=12.8 cm ( in meters)

r2=14.7 cm

E(r1)=4.83* 10^3 N/C

E(r2)=3.66 *10^3 N/C

The amplitude of a lightly damped oscillator decreases by 3.42% during each cycle. What percentage of the mechanical energy of t

frozen [14]

Answer:

The percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle is 6.72%

Explanation:

Mechanical energy (Potential energy, PE) of the oscillator is calculated as;

PE = ¹/₂KA²

During the first oscillation;

PE₁ = ¹/₂KA₁²

During the second oscillation;

A₂ = A₁ - 0.0342A₁ = 0.9658A₁

PE₂ = ¹/₂KA₂²

PE₂ = ¹/₂K (0.9658A₁)²

PE₂ = (0.9658²)¹/₂KA₁²

PE₂ = (0.9328)¹/₂KA₁²

PE₂ = 0.9328PE₁

Percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle;

$Change \ in \ percent= \frac{PE_2 - PE_1}{PE_1} \\\\Change \ in \ percent= \frac{0.9328PE_1 -PE_1}{PE_1} *100\\\\Change \ in \ percent= \frac{-0.0672PE_1}{PE_1}*100 \\\\Change \ in \ percent= -0.0672*100\\\\Change \ in \ percent= -6.72 \ \% \\\\Loss \ in \ percent= 6.72 \ \%$

Therefore, the percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle is 6.72%

1. The statement about Newton's reflecting telescope contains 1 error. Find the error, write it, and

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

i. The error is the rough convex mirror.

ii. This should be replaced with a smooth convex morror.

Explanation:

Reflection is dependent on the surface involved and has two types; diffuse and specular. When the surface is rough, diffused reflection is observed. The surface causes a distortion of the incident light (the rays would be reflected at different angles to one another) after reflection. This makes some rays to interfere with one another. While specular reflection is observed with a smooth surface.

In the statement, the rough convex mirror would produce a distorted reflection which would produce diffused reflection. The effect is that few or no rays (depending on the degree of how rough the surfce is) would be reflected to the other smooth, flat diagonal mirror.
