A generator's maximum output is 220 V. What is the rms potential difference?

1 answer:

3 0

The rms potential difference is defined as the peak value of the potential difference divided by the square root of 2:
$V_{rms} = \frac{V_0}{ \sqrt{2} }$
where
$V_0$ is the peak value of the voltage (the maximum voltage).

The generator in our problem has a maximum voltage of $V_0=220 V$ , so its rms potential difference is
$V_{rms}= \frac{V_0}{ \sqrt{2} }=155.6 V$

A 0.45kg baseball is pitched towards home plate at 20 m/s. The ball is hit back towards the pitcher with a speed of 30 m/s. What

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

4.5kgm/s

Explanation:

Change in momentum is expressed as

Change in momentum = m(v-u)

M is the mass

V is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

Given

m=0.45kg

v = 30m/s

u = 20m/s

Substitute

Change in momentum = 0.45(30-20)

Change in momentum = 0.45×10

Change in momentum = 4.5kgm/s

How do Air molecules enable sound to travel from a radios speaker to your ears?

MatroZZZ [7]

The radio frequencies push one air molecule that then bumps into a different air molecule.....which then hits another and another causing a line of crashing molecules that lead inside your ear and hits your ear drum causing it to vibrate which causes the sounds.

Each plate of a parallel‑plate capacitor is a square of side 4.19 cm, 4.19 cm, and the plates are separated by 0.407 mm. 0.407 m

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The electric field strength inside the capacitor is 49880.77 N/C.

Explanation:

Given:

Side length of the capacitor plate (a) = 4.19 cm = 0.0419 m

Separation between the plates (d) = 0.407 mm = $0.407\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Energy stored in the capacitor (U) = $7.87\ nJ=7.87\times 10^{-9}\ J$

Assuming the medium to be air.

So, permittivity of space (ε) = $8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

Area of the square plates is given as:

$A=a^2=(0.0419\ m)^2=1.75561\times 10^{-3}\ m^2$

Capacitance of the capacitor is given as:

$C=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d}\\\\C=\frac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m\times 1.75561\times 10^{-3}\ m^2 }{0.407\times 10^{-3}\ m}\\\\C=3.819\times 10^{-11}\ F$

Now, we know that, the energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor is given as:

$U=\frac{CE^2d^2}{2}$

Rewriting in terms of 'E', we get:

$E=\sqrt{\frac{2U}{Cd^2}}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'E'. This gives,

$E=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 7.87\times 10^{-9}\ J}{3.819\times 10^{-11}\ F\times (0.407\times 10^{-3})^2\ m^2}}\\\\E=49880.77\ N/C$

Therefore, the electric field strength inside the capacitor is 49880.77 N/C

A bicycle wheel has a diameter of 63.0 cm and a mass of 1.75 kg. Assume that the wheel is a hoop with all of the mass concentrat

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

F2 = 834 N

Explanation:

We are given the following for the bicycle;

Diameter; d1 = 63 cm = 0.63 m

Mass; m = 1.75 kg

Resistive force; F1 = 121 N

For the sprocket, we are given;

Diameter; d2 = 8.96 cm = 0.0896 m

Radius; r2 = 0.0896/2 = 0.0448 m

Radial acceleration; α = 4.4 rad/s²

Now moment of inertia of the wheel which is assumed to be a hoop is given by; I = m(r1)²

Where r1 = (d1)/2 = 0.63/2

r1 = 0.315 m

Thus, I = 1.75 × 0.315²

I = 0.1736 Kg.m²

The torque is given by the relation;

I•α = F1•r1 - F2•r2

Where F2 is the force that must be applied by the chain to give the wheel an acceleration of 4.40 rad/s².

Thus;

0.1736 × 4.4 = (121 × 0.315) - (0.0448F2)

>> 0.76384 = 38.115 - (0.0448F2)

>> 0.0448F2 = 38.115 - 0.76384

>> F2 = (38.115 - 0.76384)/0.0448

>> F2 = 833.73 N

Approximately; F2 = 834 N

A bug is 12 cm from the center of a turntable that is rotating with a frequency of 45 rev/min . What minimum coefficient frictio

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.27.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, start with identifying the forces at play here. First, the bug staying on the rotating turntable will be subject to the centripetal force constantly acting toward the center of the turntable (in absence of which the bug would leave the turntable in a straight line). Second, there is the force of friction due to which the bug can stick to the table. The friction force acts as an intermediary to enable the centripetal acceleration to happen.

Centripetal force is written as

$F_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}$

with v the linear velocity and r the radius of the turntable. We are not given v, but we can write it as

$v = r\omega$

with ω denoting the angular velocity, which we are given. With that, the above becomes:

$F_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}=m\omega^2 r$

Now, the friction force must be at least as much (in magnitude) as Fc. The coefficient (static) of friction μ must be large enough. How large?

$F_r=\mu mg \geq m\omega^2 r = F_c\implies\\\mu \geq \frac{\omega^2 r}{g}$

Let's plug in the numbers. The angular velocity should be in radians per second. We are given rev/min, which can be easily transformed by a factor 2pi/60:

$\frac{1 rev}{1 min}\cdot\frac{\frac{2\pi rad}{rev}}{\frac{60s}{1 min}}=\frac{2\pi}{60}\frac{rad}{s}$

and so 45 rev/min = 4.71 rad/s.

$\mu \geq \frac{\omega^2 r}{g}=\frac{4.71^2\frac{1}{s^2}\cdot 0.12m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}=0.27$

A static coefficient of friction of at least be 0.27 must be present for the bug to continue enjoying the ride on the turntable.
