Tyler stands at rest on a skateboard. He has a mass of 120 kg. His friend (m = 60 kg) jumps into his arms at a speed of 2 m/s. I

f Tyler catches his friend, how fast will they move on the skateboard?

Momentum question. This is an inelastic collision, so

m1v1+m2v2=Vf(m1+m2)
Vf=(m1v1+m2v2)/(m1+m2)=[(120kg)(0m/s)+(60kg)(2m/s)] / (120kg+60kg)
Vf=120kg m/s / 180kg
Vf=0.67m/s

0.67m/s

What mass needs to be attached to a spring with a force constant of 7N/m in order to make a simple harmonic oscillator oscillate

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Mass will be 4.437 kg

Explanation:

We have given force constant k = 7 N/m

Time period of oscillation T = 5 sec

So angular frequency $\omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14}{5}=1.256rad/sec$

We know that angular frequency is given by

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

$1.256 =\sqrt{\frac{7}{m}}$

Squaring both side

$1.577 =\frac{7}{m}$

m = 4.437 kg

A 20~\mu F20 μF capacitor has previously charged up to contain a total charge of Q = 100~\mu CQ=100 μC on it. The capacitor is t

sertanlavr [38]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

C = $20 \times 10^{-6} F$

R = $100 \times 10^{3}$ ohm

$Q_{o} = 100 \times 10^{-6}$ C

Q = $13.5 \times 10^{-6} C$

Formula to calculate the time is as follows.

$Q_{t} = Q_{o} [e^{\frac{-t}{\tau}]$

$13.5 \times 10^{-6} = 100 \times 10^{-6} [e^{\frac{-t}{2}}]$

0.135 = $e^{\frac{-t}{2}}$

$e^{\frac{t}{2}} = \frac{1}{0.135}$

= 7.407

$\frac{t}{2} = ln (7.407)$

t = 4.00 s

Therefore, we can conclude that time after the resistor is connected will the capacitor is 4.0 sec.

Before leaving the house in the morning, you plop some stew in your slow cooker and turn it on Low. The slow cooker has a 160 Oh

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Total charge flow through the cooker is 21600 C

Explanation:

As we know that the current flow through the cooker is given by Ohm's law

here it is given as

$V = i R$

$i = \frac{V}{R}$

$i = \frac{120}{160}$

$i = \frac{3}{4} A$

now the charge flow through it is given as

$Q = i t$

total time is t = 8 hours

$Q = \frac{3}{4}(8 \times 60 \times 60)$

$Q = 21600 C$
