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.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = m2 = m

u1 = 20 m/s, u2 = - 12 m/s

Let the speed of composite body is v after the collision.

Use the conservation of momentum

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x v

m x 20 - m x 12 = (m + m) x v

20 - 12 = 2 v

8 = 2 v

v = 4 m/s

Thus, the speed of teh composite body is 4 m/s.

What does the subscript 2 indicate in the compound MgCl2?
tresset_1 [31]
It means there are two chlorine molecules and there is only one magnesium molecule (because no subscript really just means there is an invisible 1 that isn't listed).
