Initial velocity, u = -6 m/s.
Time taken, t = 4 seconds.
Acceleration due to gravity, .( Here negative sign means downward direction )
To Find :
Velocity after 4 seconds.
Solution :
By equation of motion.
v = u + at
Here , a = g.
v = u + gt
v = -6 + (-9.8)×4
v = -6 + (-39.2)
v = -45.2 m/s
Therefore, velocity after 4 seconds is -45.2 m/s.
Hence, this is the required solution.

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%

Amount of work done by a rotating object

Oduvanchick [21]

The work done by a rotating object can be calculated by the formula Work = Torque * angle.

This is analog to the work done by the linear motion where torque is analog to force and angle is analog to distance. This is Work = Force * distance.

An example will help you. Say that you want to calculate the work made by an engine that rotates a propeller with a torque of 1000 Newton*meter over 50 revolution.

The formula is Work = torque * angle.

Torque = 1000 N*m

Angle = [50 revolutions] * [2π radians/revolution] = 100π radians

=> Work = [1000 N*m] * [100π radians] = 100000π Joules ≈ 314159 Joules of work.

The pressure of a gas is reduced from 1200.0 mm hg to 850.0 mm hg as the volume of its container is increased by moving a piston

Kamila [148]

From gas laws:
$\frac{PV}{T} = Constant$

Therefore,
$\frac{ P_{1} V_{1} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{ P_{2} V_{2} }{ T_{2} }$

P1 = 1200 mm
V1 = 85 ml
T1 = 90°C = 363.15 K
P2 = 850 mm
V2 = 350 ml
T2 = ?

Substituting;
$T_{2} = \frac{ P_{2} V_{2} T_{1} }{ P^{1} V^{1} } = \frac{850*350*363.15}{1200*85} = 1059.19 K$ = 786.04 °C

Do houses use parallels or series circuits

Vilka [71]

Every electrical outlet in your house, and every device or appliance that's
plugged into an outlet, are all in parallel. It's also most likely that all of yours
are in parallel with all the outlets, devices, and appliances in the homes or
apartments of a few of your neighbors.

The only things in your home that are connected in series are the switches
that turn things on and off.
