Answer:
c > √(2ab)
Explanation:
In this exercise we are asked to find the condition for c in such a way that the results have been real
The given equation is
½ a t² - c t + b = 0
we can see that this is a quadratic equation whose solution is
t = [c ±√(c² - 4 (½ a) b)] / 2
for the results to be real, the square root must be real, so the radicand must be greater than zero
c² -2a b > 0
c > √(2ab)
Answer:
yes 20 characters or more
Explanation:
Enclosed is some guidance algebra.I find this q a little confusing. It quotes "RC" which usually makes me think of electrical circuits and time constants based on converting calculating RC value and equating that to t for one time constant then 2RC for two time constants etc. The theory being that after 5 time constants - 5RC - a circuit is stable. BUT, this q then goes on to mention HALF LIFE. The curves for both half life and time constant are both exponential, as in the number e to the power of something, but the algebra is slightly different. I hope my algebra is ok.
Answer:
the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the bullet, m₀ = 20 g = 0.02 kg
velocity of the bullet, v₀ = 250 m/s
mass of the wood, m₁ = 2 kg
velocity of the wood, v₁ = 0
Let the velocity of the bullet-wood system after collision = v
Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to calculate the final velocity of the system;
Initial momentum = final momentum
m₀v₀ + m₁v₁ = v(m₀ + m₁)
0.02 x 250 + 2 x 0 = v(2 + 0.02)
5 + 0 = v(2.02)
5 = 2.02v
v = 5/2.02
v = 2.48 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s
