Answer:

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (ending speed) - (beginning speed)

= (3,600 mi/hr) - ( 0 )

= 3,600 mi/hr

= same as 1 mile/second.

Acceleration = (1 mi/sec) / (10 sec)

= 0.1 mi/sec² .

But 1 mile = 5,280 ft,

0.1 mi/s² = 528 ft/s²

How much voltage (in terms of the power source voltage bV) will the capacitor have when it has started at zero volts potential d

Archy [21]

Answer:

The voltage is $V = 0.993V_b$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The time that has passed is $t = \frac{\tau}{2}$

Here $\tau$ is know as the time constant

The voltage of the power source is $V_b$

Generally the voltage equation for charging a capacitor is mathematically represented as

$V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{t}{\tau} }]$

=> $V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{\frac{\tau}{2}}{\tau} }]$

=> $V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{\tau}{2\tau} }]$

=> $V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{1}{2} }]$

=> $V = 0.993V_b$

A block of mass 200g is oscillating on the end of a horizontal spring of spring constant 100 N/m and natural length 12 cm. When

malfutka [58]

In order to determine the acceleration of the block, use the following formula:

$F=ma$

Moreover, remind that for an object attached to a spring the magnitude of the force acting over a mass is given by:

$F=kx$

Then, you have:

$ma=kx$

by solving for a, you obtain:

$a=\frac{kx}{m}$

In this case, you have:

k: spring constant = 100N/m

m: mass of the block = 200g = 0.2kg

x: distance related to the equilibrium position = 14cm - 12cm = 2cm = 0.02m

Replace the previous values of the parameters into the expression for a:

$a=\frac{(\frac{100N}{m})(0.02m)}{0.2\operatorname{kg}}=10\frac{m}{s^2}$

Hence, the acceleration of the block is 10 m/s^2

Can someone help me?

Cloud [144]

What do we know that might help here ?

-- Temperature of a gas is actually the average kinetic energy of its molecules.

-- When something moves faster, its kinetic energy increases.

Knowing just these little factoids, we realize that as a gas gets hotter, the average speed of its molecules increases.

That's exactly what Graph #1 shows.

How about the other graphs ?

-- Graph #3 says that as the temperature goes up, the molecules' speed DEcreases. That can't be right.

-- Graph #4 says that as the temperature goes up, the molecules' speed doesn't change at all. That can't be right.

-- Graph #2 says that after the gas reaches some temperature and you heat it hotter than that, the speed of the molecules starts going DOWN. That can't be right.
