Answer:

306 m/s

Explanation:

Law of conservation of momentum

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1+m2)vf

m1 is the bullet's mass so it is 0.1 kg

v1 is what we're trying to solve

m2 is the target's mass so it is 5.0 kg

v2 is the targets velocity, and since it was stationary, its velocity is zero

vf is the velocity after the target is struck by the bullet, so it is 6.0 m/s

plugging in, we get

(0.1 kg)(v1) + (5.0 kg)(0 m/s) = (0.1 kg + 5.0 kg)(6.0 m/s)

(0.1)(v1) + 0 = 30.6

(0.1)(v1) = 30.6

v1 = 306 m/s

Convert 43 km/h to m/s.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

43km/h to m/s = 11.9444

Explanation:

1 km = 1000 m; 1 hr = 3600 sec. To convert km/hr into m/sec, multiply the number by 5 and then divide it by 18.

8. An unpowered flywheel is slowed by a constant frictional torque. At time t = 0 it has an angular velocity of 200 rad/s. Ten s

allsm [11]

Answer:

a) $\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , b) $\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

The magnitude of torque is a form of moment, that is, a product of force and lever arm (distance), and force is the product of mass and acceleration for rotating systems with constant mass. That is:

$\tau = F \cdot r$

$\tau = m\cdot a \cdot r$

$\tau = m \cdot \alpha \cdot r^{2}$

Where $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration, which is constant as torque is constant. Angular deceleration experimented by the unpowered flywheel is:

$\alpha = \frac{170\,\frac{rad}{s} - 200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{10\,s}$

$\alpha = -3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

Now, angular velocities of the unpowered flywheel at 50 seconds and 100 seconds are, respectively:

a) t = 50 s.

$\omega = 200\,\frac{rad}{s} - \left(3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (50\,s)$

$\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}$

b) t = 100 s.

Given that friction is of reactive nature. Frictional torque works on the unpowered flywheel until angular velocity is reduced to zero, whose instant is:

$t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s}-200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{\left(-3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$t = 66.667\,s$

Since $t > 66.667\,s$ , then the angular velocity is equal to zero. Therefore:

$\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Why are noise considerations important in optical fiber communications? 3. Describe the principle of "population inversion".

pochemuha

Answer and Explanation:

the electronic devices always have some noises present in the signal

there are some important considerations in optical fiber communications these are.

the noise which is contributed by transmitter are electronic random noise, low frequency noise
noise which is contributed by laser are relative intensity noise, mode partition noise, conversion of phase noise to amplitude noise.
noise contributed by photo detector are quantum shot noise, shot noise from dark current, avalanche multiplication noise.

PRINCIPLE OF POPULATION INVERSION :

The principle of population inversion is defined as for production of high percentage of simulated emission for a laser beam the number of atoms in higher state should be greater than lower energy state
