P = m*v

conservation of momentum suggests

initial momentum equals final momentum

mv-initial = mv-final

(0.0010 kg)(50 m/s) = (0.0010 kg + 0.35 kg)v

thus:

v = (0.0010)(50)/(0.351) = 0.142 m/s

Answer: The pellet and wood slide at a speed of 0.142 m/s.

Explanation:

To calculate the velocity of the pellet and wood after the collision, we use the equation of law of conservation of momentum, which is:

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

where,

$m_1$ = mass of pellet = 0.001kg

$u_1$ = Initial velocity of pellet = 50m/s

$v_1$ = Final velocity of pellet = v m/s

$m_2$ = mass of wood = 0.36kg

$u_2$ = Initial velocity of wood = 0m/s

$v_2$ = Final velocity of wood = v m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$(0.001\times 50)+(0.35\times 0)=(0.001+0.35)v\\\\v=0.142m/s$

Hence, the pellet and wood slide at a speed of 0.142 m/s.

A nonuniform beam 4.50 m long and weighing 1.40 kN makes an angle of 25.0° below the horizontal. It is held in position by a fri

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

$T = 7.64 kN$

$F_y = 0.52 kN$ (Downwards)

$F_x = 3.23 kN$ (Towards Left)

Explanation:

As we know that beam is in equilibrium

So here we can use torque balance as well as force balance for the beam

Now by torque balance equation at the pivot we can say

$F(4.50 cos\theta) + mg(2cos\theta) = T \times 3$

As we know that

mg = 1.40 kN

F = 5 kN

so we will have

$5 kN(4.50 cos25) + 1.40 kN(2 cos25) = 3 T$

$T = 7.64 kN$

Now force balance in vertical direction

$F + mg = Tsin65 + F_y$

$5 + 1.40 = 7.64 sin65 + F_y$

$F_y = 0.52 kN$ (Downwards)

Force balance in horizontal direction

$F_x = T cos65$

$F_x = 7.64 cos65$

$F_x = 3.23 kN$ (Towards Left)

Given three capacitors, c1 = 2.0 μf, c2 = 1.5 μf, and c3 = 3.0 μf, what arrangement of parallel and series connections with a 12

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Connect C₁ to C₃ in parallel; then connect C₂ to C₁ and C₂ in series. The voltage drop across C₁ the 2.0-μF capacitor will be approximately 2.76 volts.

$-1.5\;\mu\text{F}-[\begin{array}{c}-{\bf 2.0\;\mu\text{F}}-\\-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-\end{array}]-$ .

Explanation:

Consider four possible cases.

$-\begin{array}{c}-{\bf 2.0\;\mu\text{F}-}\\-1.5\;\mu\text{F}- \\-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-\end{array}-$

In case all three capacitors are connected in parallel, the $2.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor will be connected directed to the battery. The voltage drop will be at its maximum: 12 volts.

$-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-[\begin{array}{c}-{\bf 2.0\;\mu\text{F}}-\\-1.5\;\mu\text{F}-\end{array}]-$

In case the $2.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor is connected in parallel with the $1.5\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor, and the two capacitors in parallel is connected to the $3.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor in series.

The effective capacitance of two capacitors in parallel is the sum of their capacitance: 2.0 + 1.5 = 3.5 μF.

The reciprocal of the effective capacitance of two capacitors in series is the sum of the reciprocals of the capacitances. In other words, for the three capacitors combined,

$\displaystyle C(\text{Effective}) = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{C_3}+ \dfrac{1}{C_1+C_2}} = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{3.0}+\dfrac{1}{2.0+1.5}} = 1.62\;\mu\text{F}$ .

What will be the voltage across the 2.0 μF capacitor?

The charge stored in two capacitors in series is the same as the charge in each capacitor.

$Q = C(\text{Effective}) \cdot V = 1.62\;\mu\text{F}\times 12\;\text{V} = 19.4\;\mu\text{C}$ .

Voltage is the same across two capacitors in parallel.As a result,

$\displaystyle V_1 = V_2 = \frac{Q}{C_1+C_2} = \frac{19.4\;\mu\text{C}}{3.5\;\mu\text{F}} = 5.54\;\text{V}$ .

$-1.5\;\mu\text{F}-[\begin{array}{c}-{\bf 2.0\;\mu\text{F}}-\\-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-\end{array}]-$ .

Similarly,

the effective capacitance of the two capacitors in parallel is 5.0 μF;
the effective capacitance of the three capacitors, combined: $\displaystyle C(\text{Effective}) = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{C_2}+ \dfrac{1}{C_1+C_3}} = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{1.5}+\dfrac{1}{2.0+3.0}} = 1.15\;\mu\text{F}$ .

Charge stored:

$Q = C(\text{Effective}) \cdot V = 1.15\;\mu\text{F}\times 12\;\text{V} = 13.8\;\mu\text{C}$ .

Voltage:

$\displaystyle V_1 = V_3 = \frac{Q}{C_1+C_3} = \frac{13.8\;\mu\text{C}}{5.0\;\mu\text{F}} = 2.76\;\text{V}$ .

$-2.0\;\mu\text{F}-1.5\;\mu\text{F}-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-$ .

Connect all three capacitors in series.

$\displaystyle C(\text{Effective}) = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{C_1} + \dfrac{1}{C_2}+\dfrac{1}{C_3}} =\frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{2.0} + \dfrac{1}{1.5}+\dfrac{1}{3.0}} =0.667\;\mu\text{F}$ .

For each of the three capacitors:

$Q = C(\text{Effective})\cdot V = 0.667\;\mu\text{F} \times 12\;\text{V} = 8.00\;\mu\text{C}$ .

For the $2.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor:

$\displaystyle V_1=\frac{Q}{C_1} = \frac{8.00\;\mu\text{C}}{2.0\;\mu\text{F}} = 4.0\;\text{V}$ .

A steel tank of weight 600 lb is to be accelerated straight upward at a rate of 1.5 ft/sec2. Knowing the magnitude of the force

VikaD [51]

Answer:

a) the values of the angle α is 45.5°

b) the required magnitude of the vertical force, F is 41 lb

Explanation:

Applying the free equilibrium equation along x-direction

from the diagram

we say

∑Fₓ = 0

Pcosα - 425cos30° = 0

525cosα - 368.06 = 0

cosα = 368.06/525

cosα = 0.701

α = cos⁻¹ (0.701)

α = 45.5°

Also Applying the force equation of motion along y-direction

∑Fₓ = ma

Psinα + F + 425sin30° - 600 = (600/32.2)(1.5)

525sin45.5° + F + 212.5 - 600 = 27.95

374.46 + F + 212.5 - 600 = 27.95

F - 13.04 = 27.95

F = 27.95 + 13.04

F = 40.99 ≈ 41 lb
