In an (AC) RLC circuit, does the what is the order of obstruction? Does the inductor, capacitor, or resistor obstruct first? and last? And what are each of them obstructing ( change of current or change of voltage)?

What about in (DC) source?

What happens when the capacitor receives a change in rate of voltage? Does it induce a new current to push back the voltage? I am very confused.

Please show in detail and diagrams.

Thank you

A (cube, with a calculable volume of dimensions Xm=7 x Ym=7 x Zm=7), having density rho=80 kg/m3, is 80% (less than 100%) submerged in a fluid having density rhofluid=1500 kg/m3. Find a) the tension in a string holding the object to the bottom of container holding the fluid (aside; this only makes sense if the buoyancy force exceeds the object's weight force), and b) the numerical value of the pressure at the top and the bottom of the object, including atmospheric pressure. Remember that: a) the buoyancy force depends only on the submerged volume, rather than the total volume of the object, and b) atmospheric pressure is 101325 pascal (Pa).

10.A 12.3 kg child jumps up and grabs a (round) horizontal tree branch that has a diameter of 6 cm. The child grabs the branch 28 cm from the trunk, and the weight of the child causes the branch to sag. If the shear modulus for the tree is 1.016 x 106N/m2, how how much does the branch sag when weighted?

A 3kg object is attached to spring and will stretch the spring 392mm by itself. There is no damping in the system and a forcing function of F(t)=10 coswt, w=(k/w)-2 is attached to the object. The spring is deflected y distance father than equilibrium position due to the F(t). k is the spring modulus and M is the mass of the object.

a) Derive the governing equation for the spring-object mass system decribed in the problem.Assume Mg=hk

b) if the object is initially displaced 20cm downward from its equilibrium position and given a velocity of 10cm/s upward find the displacement of the object at any time t.

c) suppose a damper is added to the mass-spring system that will exert a force of 45N when the velocity is 50cm/s, damping factor of 90kg/s is added to the system. And find the displacement of the object at any time t for this new system

d)Determine the amplitude , nature frequency and phase shift of the object for this new system.

1a Describe how thermal energy is obtained by fission, specifically when a U=235 atom is hit by a slow-motion neutron (less than 0.9 MeV). When one states that 200 MeV of energy are released by a fission event, what is the form of this energy?

1b. The energy released by fission is by the change in mass and Einstein’s equation (E=Δmc2). If the mass of one uranium 235 atom is 235.042924 amu and the mass of fission products is 234.92754 amu, determine the energy in Joules and MeV released by one fission. (Note: 1 amu = 1.66 x 10-27kg and 1 ev = 1.6 \x 10-19J).

1c. For an atom, the atomic number is the number of protons, while the atomic weight (i.e. molecular weight) can be 235 or 238 depending on the isotope. Determine the number of atomic particles (electrons, neutrons, and protons) for U-235, U-238, Kr-90. Note: The atomic number of Krypton is 36.

  • If we recreated the scene from Fast & Furious 7 and dropped a Challenger SRT® Hellcat Redeye Widebody from a C-130 aircraft at 5,280 ft, how much horsepower would it take to drive past it before it hits the ground if you’re 1 mile away?
  • Rephrase the question: How much horsepower is needed to travel the distance of one mile, before the dropped vehicle hits the ground, from a mile up in the air, out of the back of a C-130 aircraft. The falling vehicle is falling STRAIGHT down, no forward travel The vehicle on the ground that has to pass the point of impact BEFORE impact, has to start from a dead stop.
  • Use the following data to compute the required hp to caver the distance of 1 mile, from a dead stop, and pass the point of impact. Will have to calculate the time of fall, to find the time needed to start from a standing start to cover a mile just past the point of impact.

Data available:

  • Air density @ sea level, 59 degrees, no wind = p = .002377 slugs/ft^3
  • Coefficient of drag (flat plate, NASA) = C(d) = 1.28
  • Weight = W = 4451 lbs
  • Gravitation constant = g = 32.2 ft/sec^2
  • Area = A = 197.5" long x 78.2" wide x (1 ft^2/ 144 in^2)
  • Vehicle falls flat, wheels 1st, straight down, at constant acceleration with no aerodynamic drag until terminal velocity
  • Horsepower needed to accelerate is AVERAGE - not peak
  • 100% driveline efficiency
