1) An ac source of period T and maximum voltage V is connected to a single unknown ideal element that is either a resistor, and

inductor, or a capacitor. At time t = 0 the voltage is zero and increasing toward a maximum. At time t = T/4 the current in the unknown element is equal to zero and at time t = T/2 the current is I = -Imax (where Imax is the maximum current amplitude). What is the unknown element?

Answer: Capacitor

Explanation:

Given the following ;

At time, t = T/4 ; I = 0

At time, t = T/2 ; I = - Imax

Where T = period

We can confirm what the unknown element is by using the relation, such that the parameters satisfy the stated condition ;

Recall;

I = Iosin(wt + π/2) [for CAPACITOR]

w = 2π/T

At t = T/4

I = Iosin(2π/T(T/4) + π/2)

I = Iosin(π/2 + π/2)

I = Iosin(0)

I = 0

At t = T/2

I = Iosin(2π/T(T/2) + π/2)

I = Iosin(π + π/2)

I = Iosin(0)

I = Iosin(3π/2)

I = Iosin(540/2)

I = Iosin(270)

I = -Io

Note : Io = Imax

Both conditions are met, Hence, the unknown element is a CAPACITOR.

The speed of a boat in still water is 20 mph. it travels from one pier to another with the current in 4 hours and back against t
saw5 [17]
The answer is, "the speed of the current is 5 miles per hour."

To calculate the speed of the current,
let's assume speed of current =  xmph. Time taken to travel from one pier to another with the current = 100/(20+x)h


But the time taken to travel from one pier to another with the current, which is given is = 4 hours. So,  4=100/(20+x) 80+4x = 100

4x = 20

x = 5 Thus, the speed of the current is 5 miles per hour.

During a race, a runner runs at a speed of 6 m/s. 2 seconds later, she is running at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the runner’s acc
Lina20 [59]
V o = 6 m/s,
t = 2 s
v = 10 m/s
v = v o + a t
a t = v - v o
a = ( v - v o ) / t 
a = ( 10 m/s - 6 m/s ) / 2 s = 4 m/s / 2 s = 2 m/s²
Answer:
The runner`s acceleration is 2 m/s².
