What does it mean to say something is proportional?

Physics
1 answer:
mamaluj [8]3 years ago

Answer: When quantities have the same relative size. In other words they have the same ratio corresponding in size or amount to something else.

Explanation: Example: "A rope's length and weight are in proportion."

Example: "The punishment should be proportional to the crime"

[A] Write an expression for the equivalent resistance of three resistors connected in parallel.[ no derivation needed]
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

1) R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

2) 0.5 A

3) 3.6 V

Explanation:

1) We can see that resistors R2 and R3 are in parallel.

Formula for sum of parallel resistors; 1/Rt = 1/R2 + 1/R3

Making Rt the subject gives;

Rt = (R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3)

Now, Resistor R1 is in series with this sum of R2 and R3. Thus;

Total resistance of circuit = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

2) R_total = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

We are given;

R1 = 7.2 Ω

R2 = 8 Ω

R3 = 12 Ω

R_total = 7.2 + ((8 × 12)/(8 + 12))

R_total = 7.2 + 4.8

R_total = 12 Ω

Formula for current is;

I = V/R

I = 6/12

I = 0.5 A

3) since current through the circuit is 0.5 and R1 is 7.2 Ω.

Thus, potential difference through R1 is;

V = IR = 0.5 × 7.2 = 3.6 V

A bar of length L = 8 ft and midpoint D is falling so that, when θ = 27°, ∣∣v→D∣∣=18.5 ft/s , and the vertical acceleration of p
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

alpha=53.56rad/s

a=5784rad/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, we have to compute the time in which point D has a velocity of v=23ft/s (v0=0ft/s)

v=v_0+at\\\\t=\frac{v}{a}=\frac{(23\frac{ft}{s})}{32.17\frac{ft}{s^2}}=0.71s

Now, we can calculate the angular acceleration  (w0=0rad/s)

\theta=\omega_0t +\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\alpha=\frac{2\theta}{t^2}

\alpha=\frac{27}{(0.71s)^2}=53.56\frac{rad}{s^2}

with this value we can compute the angular velocity

\omega=\omega_0+\alpha t\\\omega = (53.56\frac{rad}{s^2})(0.71s)=38.02\frac{rad}{s}

and the tangential velocity of point B, and then the acceleration of point B:

v_t=\omega r=(38.02\frac{rad}{s})(4)=152.11\frac{ft}{s}\\a_t=\frac{v_t^2}{r}=\frac{(152.11\frac{ft}{s})^2}{4ft}=5784\frac{rad}{s^2}

hope this helps!!

A tiger leaps horizontally out of a tree that is 6.00 m high. If he lands 2.00 m from the base of the tree, calculate his initia
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The initial speed of the tiger is 1.80 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the position vector of the tiger is the following:

r = (x0 + v0 · t, y0 + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at a time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position,

g = acceleration due to gravity.

Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference on the ground at the point where the tree is located so that the initial position vector will be:

r0 = (0.00, 6.00) m

We can use the equation of the vertical component of the position vector to obtain the time it takes the tiger to reach the ground.

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

When the tiger reaches the ground, y = 0:

0 = 6.00 m - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · t²

2 · (-6.00 m) / -9.81 m/s² = t²

t = 1.11 s

We know that in 1.11 s the tiger travels 2.00 m in the horizontal direction. Then, using the equation of the horizontal component of the position vector we can find the initial speed:

x = x0 + v0 · t

At t = 1.11 s, x = 2.00 m

x0 = 0

2.00 m = v0 · 1.11 s

2.00 m / 1.11 s = v0

v0 = 1.80 m/s

The initial speed of the tiger is 1.80 m/s
