An alternating current is set up in an LRC circuit.
Andreyy89

Answer:

(B) Resistor only

Explanation:

Alternating Current: These are currents that changes periodically with time.

An LRC  Ac circuit is an AC circuit that contains a Resistor, a capacitor and an inductor, connected in series.

In a purely resistive circuit, current and voltage are in phase.

In a purely capacitive circuit, the current leads  the voltage by π/2

In a purely inductive circuit, the current lags the voltage by π/2.

Therefore when a alternating current is set up in LRC circuit, in the resistor, the current and the voltage are in phase.

The right option is (B) Resistor only.

A man is standing on the edge of a 20.0 m high cliff. He throws a rock horizontally with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s. How lo
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

t = 4.08 s

R = 40.8 m

Explanation:

The question is asking us to solve for the time of flight and the range of the rock.

Let's start by finding the total time it takes for the rock to land on the ground. We can use this constant acceleration kinematic equation to solve for the displacement in the y-direction:

  • Δx = v_0 t + 1/2at²

We have these known variables:

  • (v_0)_y = 0 m/s
  • a_y = -9.8 m/s²
  • Δx_y = -20 m

And we are trying to solve for t (time). Therefore, we can plug these values into the equation and solve for t.

  • -20 = 0t + 1/2(-9.8)t²
  • -20 = 1/2(-9.8)t²
  • -20 = -4.9t²
  • t = 4.08 sec

The time it takes for the rock to reach the ground is 4.08 seconds.

Now we can use this time in order to solve for the displacement in the x-direction. We will be using the same equation, but this time it will be in terms of the x-direction.

List out known variables:

  • v_0 = 10 m/s
  • t = 4.08 s
  • a_x = 0 m/s

We are trying to solve for:

  • Δx_x = ?

By using the same equation, we can plug these known values into it and solve for Δx.

  • Δx = 10 * 4.08 + 1/2(0)(4.08)²
  • Δx = 10 * 4.08
  • Δx = 40.8 m

The rock lands 40.8 m from the base of the cliff.

If you went to a planet that had the twice the radius as Earth, but the same mass, a 1 kg pineapple would have a weight of
kicyunya [14]

Use the law of universal gravitation, which says the force of gravitation between two bodies of mass <em>m</em>₁ and <em>m</em>₂ a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

where <em>G</em> = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

The Earth has a radius of about 6371 km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m (large enough for a pineapple on the surface of the earth to have an effective distance from the center of the Earth to be equal to this radius), and a mass of about 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, so the force of gravitation between the pineapple and the Earth is

<em>F</em> = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (1 kg) (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg) / (6.371 x 10⁶ m)²

<em>F</em> ≈ 9.81 N

Notice that this is roughly equal to the weight of the pineapple on Earth, (1 kg)<em>g</em>, where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so that [force of gravity] = [weight] on any given planet.

This means that on this new planet with twice the radius of Earth, the pineapple would have a weight of

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / (2<em>r</em>)² = 1/4 <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

i.e. 1/4 of the weight on Earth, which would be about 2.45 N.
