Answer:

Carla

Explination: As Daniel's ball is dropped from the car moving at 40 mph in a horizontal direction, at the time the ball is dropped it is also moving at 40 mph in a horizontal direction due to inertia, a property of mass causing resistance to change, Daniel's ball will continue to move in a horizontal direction even after being dropped along with falling due to gravity. Daniel's ball will then fall in a projectile motion curve of sorts which will cause an overall velocity to not be straight down causing it not to fall to the ground as quickly as Carla's ball.

Sorry for the long explanation

Answer:

Carla

Explanation:

Thinking process:

First, we neglect the air resistance.

Carla is not moving. It means that the present energy of the ball is potential energy relative to its height from the ground. There is only a single velocity component on Carla's ball - the vertical component. Therefore, Carla's ball hits the ground first.

Daniel's case is different. The ball travels with two components of velocity - the horizontal velocity and the vertical component. Therefore, the ball's total velocity is a resolution of the two velocities.

Thus, the horizontal component of Daniel's ball follows a projector path and does not fall horizontally. It will touch the ground at some distance after being dropped to the ground.

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same plate area. Capacitor 1 has a plate separation twice that of capacitor 2, and the qu
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

V_1=8 V_2

Explanation:

Given that:

  • Area of the plate of capacitor 1= Area of the plate of capacitor 2=A
  • separation distance of capacitor 2, d_2=d
  • separation distance of capacitor 1, d_1=2d
  • quantity of charge on capacitor 2, Q_2=Q
  • quantity of charge on capacitor 1, Q_1=4Q

We know that the Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the distance of separation.

Mathematically given as:

C=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}.....................................(1)

where:

k = relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates= 1 for air

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\,F.m^{-1}

From eq. (1)

For capacitor 2:

C_2=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}

For capacitor 1:

C_1=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}

C_1=\frac{1}{2} [ \frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}]

We know, potential differences across a capacitor is given by:

V=\frac{Q}{C}..........................................(2)

where, Q = charge on the capacitor plates.

for capacitor 2:

V_2=\frac{Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}}

V_2=\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}

& for capacitor 1:

V_1=\frac{4Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}}

V_1=\frac{4Q\times 2d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}

V_1=8\times [\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}]

V_1=8 V_2

A circular ring with area 4.45 cm2 is carrying a current of 13.5 A. The ring, initially at rest, is immersed in a region of unif
Gwar [14]

Answer:

a) ( 0.0015139 i^ + 0.0020185 j^ + 0.00060556 k^ ) N.m

b) ΔU = -0.000747871 J

c)  w = 47.97 rad / s

Explanation:

Given:-

- The area of the circular ring, A = 4.45 cm^2

- The current carried by circular ring, I = 13.5 Amps

- The magnetic field strength, vec ( B ) = (1.05×10−2T).(12i^+3j^−4k^)

- The magnetic moment initial orientation, vec ( μi ) = μ.(−0.8i^+0.6j^)  

- The magnetic moment final orientation, vec ( μf ) = -μ k^

- The inertia of ring, T = 6.50×10^−7 kg⋅m2

Solution:-

- First we will determine the magnitude of magnetic moment ( μ ) from the following relation:

                    μ = N*I*A

Where,

           N: The number of turns

           I : Current in coil

           A: the cross sectional area of coil

- Use the given values and determine the magnitude ( μ ) for a single coil i.e ( N = 1 ):

                    μ = 1*( 13.5 ) * ( 4.45 / 100^2 )

                    μ = 0.0060075 A-m^2

- From definition the torque on the ring is the determined from cross product of the magnetic moment vec ( μ ) and magnetic field strength vec ( B ). The torque on the ring in initial position:

             vec ( τi ) = vec ( μi ) x vec ( B )

              = 0.0060075*( -0.8 i^ + 0.6 j^ ) x 0.0105*( 12 i^ + 3 j^ -4 k^ )

              = ( -0.004806 i^ + 0.0036045 j^ ) x ( 0.126 i^ + 0.0315 j^ -0.042 k^ )

- Perform cross product:

          \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\-0.004806&0.0036045&0\\0.126&0.0315&-0.042\end{array}\right]  = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-0.00015139\\-0.00020185\\-0.00060556\end{array}\right] \\\\

- The initial torque ( τi ) is written as follows:

           vec ( τi ) = ( 0.0015139 i^ + 0.0020185 j^ + 0.00060556 k^ )

           

- The magnetic potential energy ( U ) is the dot product of magnetic moment vec ( μ ) and magnetic field strength vec ( B ):

- The initial potential energy stored in the circular ring ( Ui ) is:

          Ui = - vec ( μi ) . vec ( B )

          Ui =- ( -0.004806 i^ + 0.0036045 j^ ) . ( 0.126 i^ + 0.0315 j^ -0.042 k^ )

          Ui = -[( -0.004806*0.126 ) + ( 0.0036045*0.0315 ) + ( 0*-0.042 )]

          Ui = - [(-0.000605556 + 0.00011)]

          Ui = 0.000495556 J

- The final potential energy stored in the circular ring ( Uf ) is determined in the similar manner after the ring is rotated by 90 degrees with a new magnetic moment orientation ( μf ) :

          Uf = - vec ( μf ) . vec ( B )

          Uf = - ( -0.0060075 k^ ) . ( 0.126 i^ + 0.0315 j^ -0.042 k^ )

          Uf = - [( 0*0.126 ) + ( 0*0.0315 ) + ( -0.0060075*-0.042 ) ]

          Uf = -0.000252315 J

- The decrease in magnetic potential energy of the ring is arithmetically determined:

          ΔU = Uf - Ui

          ΔU = -0.000252315 - 0.000495556  

          ΔU = -0.000747871 J

Answer: There was a decrease of ΔU = -0.000747871 J of potential energy stored in the ring.

- We will consider the system to be isolated from any fictitious forces and gravitational effects are negligible on the current carrying ring.

- The conservation of magnetic potential ( U ) energy in the form of Kinetic energy ( Ek ) is valid for the given application:

                Ui + Eki = Uf + Ekf

Where,

             Eki : The initial kinetic energy ( initially at rest ) = 0

             Ekf : The final kinetic energy at second position

- The loss in potential energy stored is due to the conversion of potential energy into rotational kinetic energy of current carrying ring.    

               -ΔU = Ekf

                0.5*T*w^2 = -ΔU

                w^2 = -ΔU*2 / T

Where,

                w: The angular speed at second position

               w = √(0.000747871*2 / 6.50×10^−7)

              w = 47.97 rad / s
