An accelerating voltage

ki77a [65]

Accelerating voltage<span> is the difference in potential between the filament and the anode,and it can be varied between 5 KeV and 30 KeV on the S-500 and between 2 KeV and 30 KeV on the S-450. As the </span>voltage<span> is increased, the electrons travel with higher velocity and are more energetic.</span>

Circuit A in a house has a voltage of 208 V and is limited by a 40.0-A circuit breaker. Circuit B is at 120.0 V and has a 20.0-A

Setler79 [48]

Given Information:

Voltage of circuit A = Va = 208 Volts

Current of circuit A = Ia = 40 Amps

Voltage of circuit B = Vb = 120 Volts

Current of circuit B = Ib = 20 Amps

Required Information:

Ratio of power = Pa/Pb = ?

Answer:

Ratio of power = Pa/Pb = 52/15

Explanation:

Power can be calculated using Ohm's law

P = VI

Where V is the voltage and I is the current flowing in the circuit.

The power delivered by circuit A is

Pa = Va*Ia

Pa = 208*40

Pa = 8320 Watts

The power delivered by circuit B is

Pb = Vb*Ib

Pb = 120*20

Pb = 2400 Watts

Therefore, the ratio of the maximum power delivered by circuit A to that delivered by circuit B is

Pa/Pb = 8320/2400

Pa/Pb = 52/15

What is a centripetal acceleration of a point on a bicycle wheel of a radius of 0.70 m when a bike is moving 8.0 m/s

Furkat [3]

Answer:

The acceleration of a point on the wheel is 11.43 m/s² acting radially inward.

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration acts on a body when it is performing a circular motion.

Here, a point on the bicycle is performing circular motion as the rotation of the wheel produces a circular motion.

The centripetal acceleration of a point moving with a velocity $v$ and at a distance of $r$ from the axis of rotation is given as:

$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

Here, $v=8\ m/s,r=0.70\ m$

∴ $a=\frac{8}{0.70}=11.43\ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of a point on the wheel is 11.43 m/s² acting radially inward.

A typical mattress has a network of springs that provide support. If you sit on a mattress, the springs compress. A heavier pers

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Explanation:

Spring has a tendency to store energy in them and deform its shape when force is applied on it. Once the applied force is removed it regains its original shape and size.

It is in helical shape and is used in mattress to give structure and support. Spring have elastic nature and follows spring forces, F = k * x

where is the applied force, k is the spring constant and x is the amount of extension.

When a heavier person sits on a mattress, more weight is applied on springs and they form coils, as weight is removed they regains its shape again.

Unpolarized light with an intensity of 655 W / m2 is incident on a polarizer with an unknown axis. The light then passes through

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1. $\theta=29.84^{0}$

2. $\theta=60.15^{0}$

Explanation:

Polarizes axis can create two possible angles with the vertical.

first we have to find the intensity of first polarizer

which is given as

$I=\frac{I_{0} }{2}$

$I= \frac{655\frac{W}{M^{2} } }{2}$

$I=327.5\frac{W}{m^{2} }$

For a smaller angle for the first polarizer:

According to Malus Law

$I_{2} =I_{1} Cos^{2}(90^{0} - \theta)$

$I_{2} =I_{1} sin^{2}\theta$

$\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=Sin^{2}\theta$

taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{\frac{163}{327.5} } = sin\theta$

$\theta=Sin^{-1}(0.4977)$

$\theta=29.84^{0}$

For a larger angle for the first polarizer:

According to Malus Law

$I_{2} =I_{1} cos^{2}\theta$

$\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=Cos^{2}\theta$

taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{\frac{163}{327.5} } = cos\theta$

$\theta=Cos^{-1}(0.4977)$

$\theta=60.15^{0}$
