GaryK [48]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The acceleration of the elephant is 5m/s^2 (squared).

Explanation:

Given: Force=200N, Mass=1000kg

Required: acceleration=?

Equation: a=F/m

Solution: a=200N/1000kg

Answer: a=5m/s^2

const2013 [10]

Answer:

The equation for the object's displacement is u(t)=0.583cos11.35t

Explanation:

Given:

m = 16 lb

δ = 3 in

The stiffness is:

k=\frac{m}{\delta } =\frac{16}{3} =5.33lb/in

The angular speed is:

w=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } =\sqrt{\frac{5.33*386.4}{16} } =11.35rad/s

The damping force is:

F_{D} =cu

Where

FD = 20 lb

u = 4 ft/s = 48 in/s

Replacing:

c=\frac{F_{D} }{u} =\frac{20}{48} =0.42lbs/in

The critical damping is equal:

c_{c} =\frac{2k}{w} =\frac{2*5.33}{11.35} =0.94lbs/in

Like cc>c the system is undamped

The equilibrium expression is:

u(t)=u(o)coswt+u'(o)sinwt\\u(o)=7=0.583\\u'(o)=0\\u(t)=0.583coswt\\u(t)=0.583cos11.35t

anastassius [24]

Answer:

Physical quantity is a physical property of an object or material that can be expressed by magnitude and unit.

The derived physical quantities are the type of physical quantities which can be expressed or defined by other physical quantities, called the base quantities. Example: Area, Volume, Velocity

Area- SI Unit: m², U.S. Customary unit: acre

Volume- SI Unit: m³, U.S. Customary unit: cubic inch

Velocity- SI Unit: m/s, U.S. Customary unit: ft/s

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

the final kinetic energy is 0.9eV

Explanation:

To find the kinetic energy of the electron just after the collision with hydrogen atoms you take into account that the energy of the electron in the hydrogen atoms are given by the expression:

E_n=\frac{-13.6eV}{n^2}

you can assume that the shot electron excites the electron of the hydrogen atom to the first excited state, that is

E_{n_2-n_1}=-13.6eV[\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2}]\\\\E_{2-1}=-13.6eV[\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{1}]=-10.2eV

-10.2eV is the energy that the shot electron losses in the excitation of the electron of the hydrogen atom. Hence, the final kinetic energy of the shot electron after it has given -10.2eV of its energy is:

E_{k}=11.1eV-10.2eV=0.9eV
