Answer:

(a) 43.2 kC

(b) 0.012V kWh

(c) 0.108V cents

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

i = current flow = 3 A
t = time interval for which the current flow = $4\ h = 4\times 3600\ s = 14400\ s$
V = terminal voltage of the battery
R = rate of energy = 9 cents/kWh

<u>Assume:</u>

Q = charge transported as a result of charging
E = energy expended
C = cost of charging

Part (a):

We know that the charge flow rate is the electric current flow through a wire.

$\therefore i = \dfrac{Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow Q =it\\\Rightarrow Q = 3\times 14400\\\Rightarrow Q = 43200\ C\\\Rightarrow Q = 43.200\ kC\\$

Hence, 43.2 kC of charge is transported as a result of charging.

Part (b):

We know the electrical energy dissipated due to current flow across a voltage drop for a time interval is given by:

$E = Vit\\\Rightarrow E = V\times 3\times 4\\\Rightarrow E = 12V\ Wh\\\Rightarrow E = 0.012V\ kWh\\$

Hence, 0.012V kWh is expended in charging the battery.

Part (c):

We know that the energy cost is equal to the product of energy expended and the rate of energy.

$\therefore \textrm{Cost}=\textrm{Energy}\times \textrm{Rate}\\\Rightarrow C = ER\\\Rightarrow C = 0.012V\times 9\\\Rightarrow C =0.108V\ cents$

Hence, 0.108V cents is the charging cost of the battery.

Answer:

$B=1.1636*10^{-3}T$

Explanation:

Given data

$d_{wires}=2.2mm=0.022m\\ I_{current}=32A\\$

To find

Magnitude of the net magnetic field B

Solution

The magnitude of the net magnetic field can be find as:

$B=2*u\frac{I}{2\pi r}\\ B=2*(4\pi*10^{-7} )\frac{32}{2\pi (0.022/2)} \\ B=1.1636*10^{-3}T$

A rowboat passenger uses an oar to push the boat off the dock by exerting a force of 40N for 3.0s. What impulse acts on the boat

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

120 Ns

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on an object is given by:

$I=Ft$

where

F is the force applied

t is the time taken

In this problem, we have:

F = 40 N

t = 3.0 s

So, the impulse acting on the boat is

$I=Ft=(40 N)(3.0 s)=120 Ns$

Two uniform, solid cylinders of radius R and total mass M are connected along their common axis by a short, light rod and rest o

sveta [45]

Explanation:

A) To prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic:

System diagram for given situation is shown in attached Fig. 1

We can prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic if

$a_{x} = -\omega^{2} x$

where aₓ is acceleration when attached cylinders move in horizontal direction:

<h3>PROOF:</h3>

rotational inertia for cylinders is given as:

$I=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}$ -----(1)

Newton's second law for angular motion is:

∑τ = Iα ------(2)

For linear motion in horizontal direction it is:

∑Fₓ = Maₓ ------ (3)

By definition of torque:

τ = RF --------(4)

Put (4) and (1) in (2)

$RF=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}\alpha$

$RF=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}\alpha$

from Fig 3 it can be seen that fs is force by which the cylinders roll without slipping as they oscillate

So above equation becomes

$f_{s}=\frac{1}{2}MR\alpha$ ------ (5)

As angular acceleration is related to linear by:

$a= R\alpha$

Eq (5) becomes

$f_{s}=\frac{1}{2}Ma_{x}$ ---- (6)

aₓ shows displacement in horizontal direction

From (3)

∑Fₓ = Maₓ

Fₓ is sum of fs and restoring force that spring exerts:

$\sum F_{x} = f_{s} - kx$ ----(7)

Put (7) in (3)

$f_{s} - kx = Ma_{x}$ [/tex] -----(8)

Using (6) in (8)

$\frac{1}{2}Ma_{x} - kx =Ma_{x}$

$a_{x} = \frac{2k}{3M} x$ --- (9)

For spring mass system

$a= -\omega^{2} x$ ----- (10)

Equating (9) and (10)

$\omega^{2} = \frac{2k}{3M}$

$\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{2k}{3M}}$

then (9) becomes

$a_{x} = - \omega^{2}x$

(The minus sign says that x and aₓ have opposite directions as shown in fig 3)

This proves that the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic.

<h3 /><h3>B) Time Period</h3>

Time period is related to angular frequency as:

$T=\frac{2\pi }{\omega}$

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3M}{2k}$
