Answer:

It would take 16.7 s for the work to be done by the engine.

Explanation:

From the question, given: Power = 390.3 kW

Work to be done = 6.5 x $10^{6}$ J

But, power and work done with respect to time, has a relationship of:

Power = $\frac{work done}{time}$

So that,

time = $\frac{work done}{Power}$

Thus,

time = $\frac{6.5*10^{6} }{390.3*10^{3} }$

= 16.6539

time = 16.7 s

Time required is 16.7 seconds.

Thus, it would take 16.7 s for the work to be done by the engine.

Answer:

The required frequency = 0.442 Hz

Explanation:

Frequency $f = ( \dfrac{1}{2 \pi}) \omega$

where;

$\omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m} }$

Then;

$f = \Bigg ( \dfrac{1}{2 \pi} \Bigg ) \Bigg( \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m} } \Bigg )$

However;

$k = \dfrac{F}{x}$ and;

mass $m = m_{car } + m_{person}$

$f = \Bigg ( \dfrac{1}{2 \pi} \Bigg ) \Bigg( \sqrt{\dfrac{\dfrac{F}{x}}{m_{car}+m_{person}} } \Bigg )$

$f = \Bigg ( \dfrac{1}{2 \pi} \Bigg ) \Bigg( \sqrt{\dfrac{{F}}{x(m_{car}+m_{person})} } \Bigg )$

where;

$F = m_{person}g$

Then;

$f = \Bigg ( \dfrac{1}{2 \pi} \Bigg ) \Bigg( \sqrt{\dfrac{ {m_{person}g }}{x(m_{car}+m_{person})} } \Bigg )$

replacing the values;

$f = \Bigg ( \dfrac{1}{2 \pi} \Bigg ) \Bigg( \sqrt{\dfrac{ {(88 \ kg)* (9.81 \ m/s^2) }}{(5.36 \times 10^{-2} \ m) (2002 \ kg +88 \ kg)} } \Bigg )$

$\mathbf{f = 0.442 \ Hz}$

A 22 µF capacitor charged to 0.7 kV and a second 115 µF capacitor charged to 5.5 kV are connected to each other, with the positi

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

0.099C

Explanation:

First, we need to get the common potential voltage using the formula

$V=\frac {C_2V_2-C_1V_1}{C_1+C_2}$

Where V is the common voltage, C and V represent capacitance and charge respectively. Subscripts 1 and 2 to represent the the first and second respectively. Substituting the above with the following given values then

$C_1=22\times 10^{-6} F\\ C_2=115\times 10^{-6} F\\ V_1= 0.7\times 10^{3}\\V_2=5.5\times 10^{3}$

Therefore

$V=\frac {115\times 10^{-6}\times 5.5\times 10^{3}-22\times 10^{6}\times 0.7\times 10^{3}}{22\times 10^{-6}+115\times 10^{-6}}=4504.3795620437$

Charge, Q is given by CV hence for the first capacitor charge will be $Q_1=C_1V$

Here, $Q_1=22\times 10^{-6}\times 4504.3795620437=0.0990963503649C\approx 0.099C$
