When a battery, a resistor, a switch, and an inductor form a circuit and the switch is closed, the inductor acts to oppose the c
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:Time constant gets doubled

Explanation:

Given

L-R circuit is given and suppose R and L is the resistance and inductance of the circuit then current is given by

i=i_0\left [ 1-e^{-\frac{t}{\tau }}\right ]

where i_0 is maximum current

i=current at any time

\tau =\frac{L}{R}=time\ constant

\tau '=\frac{2L}{R}=2\tau

thus if inductance is doubled then time constant also gets doubled or twice to its original value.

What is the distance covered by a Freely falling object 5 seconds after being dropped ? After 6 seconds?
mario62 [17]

This year is 60 years since I learned this stuff, and one of the things I always remembered is the formula for the distance a dropped object falls:

D = 1/2 A T²

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)

The reason I never forgot it is because it's SO useful SO often.  You really should memorize it.  And don't bury it too deep in your toolbox ... you'll be needing it again very soon. (In fact, if you had learned it the first time you saw it, you could have solved this problem on your own today.)

The problem doesn't tell us what planet this is happening on, so let's make it easy and just assume it's on Earth.  Then the 'acceleration' is Earth gravity, and that's 9.8 m/s² .

In 5 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (5 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (25 sec²)

D = 122.5 meters


In 6 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (6 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (36 sec²)

D = 176 meters

During the experiment it is determined that, as the cart rolls between two points on the track, the work done on the cart by the
natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the work done on the cart is NET work

Then the work will result in an increase in kinetic energy

KE₀ + W = KE₁

½mv₀² + W = ½mv₁²

½(0.80)(0.61²) + 0.91 = ½(0.80)v₁²

v₁ = 1.626991...

v₁ = 1.6 m/s

If the window is 11 m above the ground, find the time the stone is in flight.
rjkz [21]
d=vi*t+(1/2)gt²

d=11 m
g=9.8 m/s²
vi=0 m/s

11 m=0 m/s*t+(1/2)9.8 m/s²t²
11 m=4.9 m/s²t²
t²=11 m / 4.9 m/s²
t=√(11 m / 4.9 m/s²)=1.489... s≈1.5 s

Answer: the time the sone is in flight is 1.5 s
