Answer:

The Ic will be zero.

Explanation:

Capacitors have a working principal as follows:

  • As the current flows through the circuit, they store the electrical energy according to certain attributes they have such as the area of the plates and the material's capacitence in between the plates.

An AC voltage increases and decreases between certain maximum and minimum points periodically. So while the AC voltage is on the positive side, the capacitor charges up and when the AC voltage crosses to the negative side, the capacitor takes over and it's current starts increasing as the current coming from the AC source decreases.

So in this case, as the AC voltage crosses zero, the capacitor current was decreasing because the AC voltage was on the positive side and it was charging. The capacitor current will be zero as well and it will start to increase when AC voltage is on the negative.

I hope this answer helps.

At an amusement park, a swimmer uses a water slide to enter the main pool. a. If the swimmer starts at rest, slides with negligi
adoni [48]

Answer:

a)6.7m/S

b)6.8m/s

Explanation:

Hello ! To solve the point b you must follow the steps below

1.Draw the slide taking into account its length and height and find the angle from which the swimmer is launched (see attached image)

2. Find the horizontal velocity (X) and vertical (Y) components (see attached image)

3) for the third step we must remember that as in the slide there is no horizontal acceleration the speed in X will remain constant at the end of the swimmer's path (Vx = 0.59m / s)

4)

the fourth step is to remember that vertically there is constant acceleration called gravity (g = 9.81m / s ^ 2), so to find the speed at the end of the route we use the following equation

Vfy= \sqrt{Vy^2+2gy}

where    

Vfy= final verticaly speed    

Vy=initial verticaly speed=0.59m/S

g=gravity=9.81m/S^2

y=height of slide=2.31m

solving

Vfy= \sqrt{Vy^2+2gy}\\Vfy= \sqrt{(0.59)^2+2(9.81)(2.31)}=6.77m/s

The last step is to add the velocity components vectorally at the end of the route with the following equation

V=\sqrt{Vfy^2+Vx^2} =\sqrt{6.77^2+0.59^2} =6.8m/s

point A

taking into account the previous steps we can infer that as the swimmer starts from rest, the velocity (Vx=Vy=O) is zero, so we should only use the formula for constant acceleration movement.

Vfy= \sqrt{Vy^2+2gy}

vy=0

Vfy=\sqrt{2gy}

Vfy=\sqrt{2(9.81)(2.31)}=6.7m/s

The moon is 3.85 x 10 to the 8 m from earth and has a diameter of 3.48 x 10 to the 6 m. You have a pea (diameter = 0.50 cm) and
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

(a) dime

Explanation:

Convert all to metric unit:

0.5 cm = 0.005 m

1.8 cm = 0.018 m

71 cm = 0.71 m

In order to find out we would need to calculate the ratio R between the object diameter d and their distance s to our eyes:

R_m = \frac{d_m}{s_m} = \frac{3.48*10^6}{3.85*10^8} \approx 0.009

R_p = \frac{d_p}{s_p} = \frac{0.005}{0.71} \approx 0.007

R_d = \frac{d_d}{s_d} = \frac{0.018}{0.71} \approx 0.0253

Since the ratio of the dime is larger than the ratio of the moon, and the ratio of the pea is smaller than the ratio of the moon, only the (a) dime can cover your view of the moon.

1 A 75-g ball is projected from a height of 1.6 m with a horizontal velocity of 2 m/s and bounces from a 400-g smooth plate supp
Tanzania [10]

Answer with explanation:

We are given that  

Mass of ball,m_1=75 g=\frac{75}{1000}=0075kg

1 kg=1000 g

Height,h_1=1.6 m

h_2=0.6 m

Horizontal velocity,v_x=2 m/s

Mass of platem_2=400 g=\frac{400}{1000}=0.4 kg

a.Initial velocity of plate,u_2=0

Velocity before impact=u_1=\sqrt{2gh_1}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.6}=5.6m/s

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Velocity after impact,v_1=\sqrt{2gh_2}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.6}=3.4m/s

According to law of conservation of momentum  

m_1u_1+m_2u_1=-m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Substitute the values  

0.075\times 5.6+0=-0.075\times 3.4+0.4v_2

0.4v_2=0.075\times 5.6+0.075\times 3.4

v_2=\frac{0.075\times 5.6+0.075\times 3.4}{0.4}=1.69 m/s

Velocity of plate=1.69 m/s

b.Initial energy=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_x+m_1gh_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.075)(2^2)+0.075\times 9.8\times 1.6=1.326 J

Final energy=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_x+m_1gh_2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2

Final energy=\frac{1}{2}(0.075)(2^2)+0.075\times 9.8\times 0.6+\frac{1}{2}(0.4)(1.69)^2=1.162 J

Energy lost due to compact=Initial energy-final energy=1.326-1.162=0.164 J
