A body with a mass of 2,000 kg is lifted to a height of 15 m within a time of 15 s. Which one of the following statements concer

Aleksandr [31]

<span>So we want to know which statement is true for the body of mass m=2000kg that is lifted to a height of h=15m in t=15 s. Lets calculate each of the following: Gravity force on the body is F=m*g=2000*9.81=19620 N so a is FALSE. Potential energy of the body when it is lifted to the height of 15 m is Ep=m*g*h=2000*9.81*15=294300 J so b is FALSE. Work to lift the body is: W=Fg*h=2000*9.81*15= Ep=294300 J so c is FALSE. Power P=W/t=294300/15=19620 W So d is TRUE. </span>

A series AC circuit contains a resistor, an inductor of 150 mH, a capacitor of 5.00 mF, and a generator with DVmax 5 240 V opera

yanalaym [24]

Given:

Inductance, L = 150 mH

Capacitance, C = 5.00 mF

$\Delta V_{max}$ = 240 V

frequency, f = 50Hz

$I_{max}$ = 100 mA

Solution:

To calculate the parameters of the given circuit series RLC circuit:

angular frequency, $\omega$ = $2\pi f = 2\pi \times50 = 100\pi$

a). Inductive reactance, $X_{L}$ is given by:

$\X_{L} = \omega L = 100\pi \times 150\times 10^{-3} = 47.12\Omega$

$X_{L} = 47.12\Omega$

b). The capacitive reactance, $X_{C}$ is given by:

$\X_{C} = \frac{1}{\omega C} = \frac{1}{2\pi fC} = \frac{1}{2\pi \times 50\times 5.00\times 10^{-3}} = 0.636\Omega$

$X_{C} = 0.636\Omega$

c). Impedance, Z = $\frac{\Delta V_{max}}{I_{max}} = \frac{240}{100\times 10^{-3}} = 2400\Omega$

$Z = 2400\Omega$

d). Resistance, R is given by:

$Z = \sqrt {R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})}$

$2400^{2} = R^{2} + (47.12 - 0.636)^{2}$

$R = \sqrt {5757839.238}$

$R = 2399.5\Omega$

e). Phase angle between current and the generator voltage is given by:

$tan\phi = \frac{X_{L} - X_{C}}{R}$

$\phi =tan^{-1}( \frac{X_{L} - X_{C}}{R})$

$\phi =tan^{-1}( \frac{47.12 - 0.636}{2399.5}) = tan^{-1}{0.0.01937}$

$\phi = 1.11^{\circ}$

Twin A makes a one way trip at 0.6c to a star 12 light years away while twin B stays on Earth. Each twin sends the other a signa

hram777 [196]

Answer:

8 signals received by twin A during the trip.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 12 light year

Speed = 0.6 c

Time = 1 year

We need to calculate the time by A

Using formula of time

$T=t\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\dfrac{v}{c}}{1-\dfrac{v}{c}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$T=1\sqrt{\dfrac{1+0.6}{1-0.6}}$

$T=2\ years$

Similarly,

The expression for distance cover by A

$D=d\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$D=12\sqrt{1-(0.6)^2}$

$D=9.6\ ly$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{D}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{9.6}{0.6}$

$t=16\ years$

We need to calculate the signals received by twin A

Using formula for number of signals

$n=\dfrac{t}{T}$

Put the value into the formula

$n=\dfrac{16}{2}$

$n=8\ signals$

Hence, 8 signals received by twin A during the trip.

Two bullets of the same size, mass and horizontal velocity are fired at identical blocks, only one is made of steel and the othe

tatiyna

Answer and Explanation:

Since we're discussing shots, the significant thing is the way the energy is changed over as there is deceleration of the bullet to a halt when it hits something.

Kinetic Energy is relative to mass times speed squared, so in reality, the 2 cases given have practically indistinguishable Kinetic energy. The measure of energy is authoritative, so the two cases will do generally a similar harm given, obviously we look at situations when all the kinetic energy is spent.

One contrast that will be effectively obvious is that the weapon in the case of heavy bullet will recoil more.
One can consider energy assimilation as force times separation distance, and energy ingestion as a product of force and time.
Henceforth, the heavier yet more slow bullet with a similar energy will venture to every part of a similar separation in the engrossing material, but since of bigger force, will take a more drawn out time doing it.
It will along these lines, additionally, give a more noteworthy "kick" to the object that absorbs.
