Answer:

There are two extreme points during the motion of child, where, the potential energy will be maximum due to maximum height.

there is one point, which is the mean position, where, the kinetic energy will be maximum due to maximum velocity.

Explanation:

FOR POTENTIAL ENERGY:

Since, the potential energy of the child depends upon the height of the child as follows:

P.E = mgh

where,

P.E = Potential Energy of Child

m = mass of child

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of child

<u>So, there are two extreme points during the motion of child, where, the potential energy will be maximum due to maximum height. </u>

<u></u>

FOR KINETIC ENERGY:

Since, the kinetic energy of the child depends upon the speed of the child as follows:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

where,

K.E = Kinetic Energy of Child

m = mass of child

v = velocity

<u>So, there is one point, which is the mean position, where, the kinetic energy will be maximum due to maximum velocity. </u>

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy and heat transferred in a body.

By definition we know that the heat lost must be equal to the heat gained, ie

Q_g = Q_l

Where,

Q = Heat exchange

The heat exchange is defined as

Q = c_p m \Delta T

Where,

c_p = Specific heat

m = mass

\Delta T= Change in Temperature

Therefore replacing we have that

Q_g = Q_l

c_{p-tea} m \Delta T =  c_{p-al} m \Delta T

Replacing with our values we have that

0.25*4180*(80-T) = 0.1*900*(T-20)

11.61*(80-T) = T-20

T= \frac{948.8}{11.61}

T = 75.24\°C

Therefore the highest possible temperature of the spoon when you finally take it out of the cup is 75.24°C

The curvature of the helix r​(t)equals(a cosine t )iplus(a sine t )jplusbt k​ (a,bgreater than or equals​0) is kappaequalsStartF
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

\kappa = \frac{1}{2 b}

Explanation:

The equation for kappa ( κ) is

\kappa = \frac{a}{a^2 + b^2}

we can find the maximum of kappa for a given value of b using derivation.

As b is fixed, we can use kappa as a function of a

\kappa (a) = \frac{a}{a^2 + b^2}

Now, the conditions to find a maximum at a_0 are:

\frac{d \kappa(a)}{da} \left | _{a=a_0} = 0

\frac{d^2\kappa(a)}{da^2}  \left | _{a=a_0} < 0

Taking the first derivative:

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{d}{da}  (\frac{a}{a^2 + b^2})

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} \frac{d}{da}(a)+ a * \frac{d}{da}  (\frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} )

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} * 1 + a * (-1)  (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} ) \frac{d}{da}  (a^2+b^2)

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} * 1 - a  (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} ) (2* a)

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} * 1 -  2 a^2  (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} )

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{a^2+b^2}{(a^2 + b^2)^2}  -  2 a^2  (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} )

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} (a^2+b^2 -  2 a^2)

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{b^2 -  a^2}{(a^2 + b^2)^2}

This clearly will be zero when

a^2 = b^2

as both are greater (or equal) than zero, this implies

a=b

The second derivative is

\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{d}{da} (\frac{b^2 -  a^2}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} )

\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} \frac{d}{da} ( b^2 -  a^2 ) + (b^2 -  a^2) \frac{d}{da} ( \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2}  )

\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} ( -2  a ) + (b^2 -  a^2) (-2) ( \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^3}  ) (2a)

\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{-2  a}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} + (b^2 -  a^2) (-2) ( \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^3}  ) (2a)

We dcan skip solving the equation noting that, if a=b, then

b^2 -  a^2 = 0

at this point, this give us only the first term

\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{- 2  a}{(a^2 + a^2)^2}

if a is greater than zero, this means that the second derivative is negative, and the point is a minimum

the value of kappa is

\kappa = \frac{b}{b^2 + b^2}

\kappa = \frac{b}{2* b^2}

\kappa = \frac{1}{2 b}
