Find the value of currents through each branch

Physics
1 answer:
Irina-Kira [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

the branch currents are as follows:

  top left: I2 = 0.625 A

  middle left: I1 = 2.500 A

  bottom left: I1-I2 = 1.875 A

  top center: I2+I3 = 2.500 A

  bottom center: I2+I3-I1 = 0 A

  right: I3 = 1.875 A

Explanation:

You can write the KVL equations:

Top left loop:

  I2(4) +(I2 +I3)(2) +I1(1) = 10

Bottom left loop:

  (I1-I2)(4) +(I1-I2-I3)(2) +I1(1) = 10

Right loop:

  (I2+I3)(2) +(I2+I3-I1)(2) = 5

In matrix form, the equations are ...

  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&6&2\\7&-6&-2\\-2&4&4\end{array}\right]\cdot\left[\begin{array}{c}I_1\\I_2\\I_3\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}10\\10\\5\end{array}\right]

These equations have the solution ...

  \left[\begin{array}{c}I_1\\I_2\\I_3\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}2.500\\0.625\\1.875\end{array}\right]

This means the branch currents are as follows:

  top left: I2 = 0.625 A

  middle left: I1 = 2.500 A

  bottom left: I1-I2 = 1.875 A

  top center: I2+I3 = 2.500 A

  bottom center: I2+I3-I1 = 0 A

  right: I3 = 1.875 A

This can be worked almost in your head by using the superposition theorem. When the 5V source is shorted, the 10V source is supplying (I1) to a circuit that is the 4 Ω and 2 Ω resistors in parallel with their counterparts, and that 2+1 Ω combination in series with 1 Ω for a total of a 4Ω load on the 10 V source. That is, I1 due to the 10V source is 2.5 A, and it is nominally split in half through the upper and lower branches of the circuit. There is no current flowing through the (shorted) 5 V source branch.

When the 10V source is shorted, the 5V source is supplying a 4 +4 Ω branch in parallel with a 2 +2 Ω branch, a total load of 8/3 Ω. This makes the current from that source (I3) be 5/(8/3) = 15/8 = 1.875 A. There is zero current from this source through the 1 Ω resistor.

Nominally, the current from the 5V source splits 2/3 through the 2 Ω branch and 1/3 through the 4 Ω branch.

Using superposition, I2 = I1/2 -I3/3 = (2.5 A/2) -(1/3)(15/8 A) = 0.625 A. This is the same answer as above, without any matrix math.

  (I1, I2, I3) = (2.5 A, 0.625 A, 1.875 A)

It helps to be familiar with the formulas for resistors in series and parallel.

In a ballistic pendulum experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height h of the pendulum equal to 2.6 cm. A second project
Trava [24]

Answer:

  Second  projectile is 1.4 times faster than first projectile.

Explanation:

By linear momentum conservation

Pi = Pf

m x U + M x 0 = (m + M) x V

U= \dfrac{(m + M)\times V}{m}

Now Since this projectile + pendulum system rises to height 'h', So using energy conservation:

KEi + PEi = KEf + PEf

PEi = 0, at reference point

KEf = 0, Speed of system zero at height 'h'

KEi = \dfrac{(m + M)\times V^2}{2}

PEf = (m + M) g h

So,

\dfrac{(m + M)\times V^2}{2} + 0 = 0+ (m + M) g h

V =\sqrt {2gh}

So from above value of V

Initial velocity of projectile =U

U=\dfrac{(M+m)\sqrt{2gh}}{m}

Now Since mass of projectile and pendulum are constant, So Initial velocity of projectile is proportional to the square root of height swung by pendulum.

Which means

\dfrac{U_2}{U_1}=\sqrt{\dfrac{h_2}{h_1}}

U_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{h_2}{h_1}}\times U_1

U_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{5.2}{2.6}}\times U_1

U₂ = 1.41 U₁

Therefore we can say that ,Second  projectile is 1.4 times faster than first projectile.

Followed by the previous question: presume that the electron performs a uniform circular motion around the hydrogen nucleus. Wha
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

A_c=87.73*10^{21}m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

r=5\times 10^{-11}

T=1.5 \times 10^{-16}

Generally the equation for velocity is mathematically given as

Velocity (v)=\frac{2 \pi r}{t}

V=\frac{2 \pi (5*10^{-11})}{1.5*10^{-16}}

V=\frac{2 \pi (5*10^{-11})}{1.5*10^{-16}}

Generally the equation for Centripetal acceleration is mathematically given as

A_c=\frac{V^2}{r}

A_c=(\frac{20.944*10^5)}{r5*10^{-11}}

A_c=87.73*10^{21}m/s
