The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where
K is the kinetic energy
m is the mass of the object
v is its velocity.

The comet in our problem has a mass of m=7.85 \cdot 10^{11} kg and a velocity of v=25000 m/s, so its kinetic energy is:
K= \frac{1}{2}(7.85 \cdot 10^{11} kg)(25000 m/s)^2=2.45 \cdot 10^{20}J

The electrical force on a 2-c charge is 60 n. the electric field where the charge is located is
Kazeer [188]
The electrical force acting on a charge q immersed in an electric field is equal to
F=qE
where
q is the charge
E is the strength of the electric field

In our problem, the charge is q=2 C, and the force experienced by it is
F=60 N
so we can re-arrange the previous formula to find the intensity of the electric field at the point where the charge is located:
E= \frac{F}{q}= \frac{60 N}{2 C}=30 N/C

As a pole of a 2nd-order discrete-time system moves away from the origin in the z-plane, while its phase remains constant, the d
Rudik [331]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

When the location of the poles changes in the z-plane, the natural or resonant frequency (ω₀) changes which in turn changes the damped frequency (ωd) of the system.

As the poles of a 2nd-order discrete-time system moves away from the origin then natural frequency (ω₀) increases, which in turn increases damped oscillation frequency (ωd) of the system.

ωd = ω₀√(1 - ζ)

Where ζ is called damping ratio.

For small value of ζ

ωd ≈ ω₀

Answer:

The maximum speed that the truck can have and still be stopped by the 100m road is the speed that it can go and be stopped at exactly 100m. Since there is no friction, this problem is similar to a projectile problem. You can think of the problem as being a ball tossed into the air except here you know the highest point and you are looking for the initial velocity needed to reach that point. Also, in this problem, because there is an incline, the value of the acceleration due to gravity is not simply g; it is the component of gravity acting parallel to the incline. Since we are working parallel to the plane, also keep in mind that the highest point is given in the problem as 100m. Solving for the initial velocity needed to have the truck stop after 100m, you should find that the maximum velocity the truck can have and be stopped by the road is 18.5 m/s.
