- A simple pendulum of length L, has a maximum angular displacement e_max. At one point in its motion, its kinetic energy is K = 3 J and its potential energy is U = 4.2 J. When the pendulum's angular velocity is one-fourth its maximum value (0' = %3D O'_max/4), then its kinetic energy is:arrow_forwardA reservoir discharging water through sluices at a depth hbelow the water surface area Afor various values has given below: hft1011121314( . .)Asqft9501070120013501530If tdenotes time in minutes, the rate of fall of the surface is given by 48dhhAdtEstimate the time taken for the water level to fall from 14 to 10 ft. above the sluices.arrow_forwardIf the crystal lattice constant is the length of the edge of the cube crystal unit in sodium, whose composition is type (BCC) equaí to (4.24A°) angstroms.

- The flight of a model rocket can be modeled as follows. During the first 0.15 s the rocket is propelled upward by the rocket engine with a force of 16 N. The rocket then flies up while slowing down under the force of gravity. After it reaches the apex, the rocket starts to fall back down. When its downward velocity reaches 20 m/s, a parachute opens (assumed to open instantly), and the rocket continues to drop at a constant speed of 20 m/s until it hits the ground. Write a program that calculates and plots the speed and altitude of the rocket as a function of time during the flight. SOLVE WITH MATLAB PLEASEarrow_forward1. The density of water is 2 g-cm^(-3).

Assume each aluminum atom supplies one conduction electron per atom. Find the drift speed of the electrons in the wire. 1.95E-4 The equation for the drift velocity includes the number of charge carriers per volume, which in this case is equal to the number of atoms per volume. How do you calculate that if you know the density and the atomic weight of aluminum? mm/sarrow_forward

The volume is 10 m3. Using Numerical Methods, employ the ideal gas law pV=nRT to determine R on the basis of data. Note that for the law, T must be expressed in kelvins.arrow_forward
- The shape of a colony of bacteria on a Petri dish is circular. Find the approximate increase in its area if its radius increases from 30 mm to 38 mm. The estimated change in area ismm?. (Type an exact answer in terms of x.) Researchers have observed that the mass of a female (gilt) pig can be estimated by the function -0.01503(t - 112.2) where t is the age of the pig (in days) and M is the mass of the pig (in M(t) = - 3.5 + 198.5 e kilograms). a. If a particular gilt is 90 days old, use differentials to estimate how much it will gain before it is 100 days old. b. What is the actual gain in mass? a. If a particular gilt is 90 days old, use differentials to estimate how much it will gain before it is 100 days old. It will gain approximatelyO kilograms. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to two decimal places as needed.) A spherical snowball is melting. Find the approximate change in volume if the radius decreases from 6 cm to 5.8 cm.
