What will happen when a light bulb is removed from the circuit below, leaving a gap?

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The remaining light bulbs will go out.

Explanation:

The light bulb that was taken out routed power to the other light bulbs, there for, not giving power to the next light bulbs will make them turn off or, "go out". This may be incorrect, as you did not provide a picture of the circuit.

1. (30 pts) Let x(t) = cos(πt/2) be a continuous-time signal,

posledela

Given that the function of the wave is f(x) = cos(π•t/2), we have;

a. The graph of the function is attached

b. 4 units of time

c. Even

d. 4.935 J/kg

e. 1.234 W/kg

<h3>How can the factors of the wave be found?</h3>

a. Please find attached the graph of the signal created with GeoGebra

b. The period of the signal, T = 2•π/(π/2) = 4

c. The signal is even, given that it is symmetrical about the y-axis

d. The energy of the signal is given by the formula;

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot \mu^{2} \cdot \omega ^{2} \cdot \: {a}^{2} \times \lambda$

Which gives;

E = 0.5 × 1.571² × 1² × 4 = 4.935 J/kg

e. The power of the wave is given by the formula;

E = 0.5 × 1.571² × 1² × 4 × 0.25 = 1.234 W/kg

If two particles have equal kinetic energies, are their momenta necessarily equal? explain.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

No the given statement is not necessarily true.

Explanation:

We know that the kinetic energy of a particle of mass 'm' moving with velocity 'v' is given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

Similarly the momentum is given by $m\times v$

For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective kinetic energies is given by

$K.E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}$

$K.E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}$

Similarly For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective momenta are given by

$p_{1}=m_{1}\times v_{1}$

$p_{2}=m_{2}\times v_{2}$

Now since it is given that the two kinetic energies are equal thus we have

$\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}\\\\(m_{1}v_{1})\times v_{1}=(m_{2}v_{2})\times v_{2}\\\\p_{1}\times v_{1}=p_{2}\times v_{2}\\\\\therefore \frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}=\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}............(i)$

Thus we infer that the moumenta are not equal since the ratio on right of 'i' is not 1 , and can be 1 only if the velocities of the 2 particles are equal which becomes a special case and not a general case.
