A physics student is riding on a train traveling north. Having read about inertia, the student performs an experiment with a gol

f ball. He reaches over the aisle and drops the ball from rest. Instead of hitting the floor directly below the student’s hand, it hits to the north, i.e., forward of that position. Which of the following might be the cause for this to happen?
(A) The train is moving at constant
(B) The train is speeding up. veloeity
(C) The train is slowing down.
(D) Whatever the cause, it cannot be any of the answers given.

Answer:

(C) The train is slowing down.

Explanation:

Since the ball seems to move <em>forward, </em>the train is slowing down. This is because Newton's 1st Law, objects inside the train tend to keep their previous state of movement, that is, the velocity before the train start slowing down, thus appearing to move forward in relation with the train itself.

Calculate the orbital speed (in m/s) of a satellite that circles the Earth with a time period of 12.00 hours. The mass of the Ea
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

v = 3869 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the orbital speed of the satellite is given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

also we know that

time period of the revolution is given as

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

now from above equation we know that

T = \frac{2\pi (\frac{GM}{v^2})}{v}

T = \frac{2\pi GM}{v^3}

so we will have

v = (\frac{2\pi GM}{T})^{1/3}

now plug in all data in this equation

v = (\frac{2\pi (6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.97 \times 10^{24})}{12 \times 3600})^{1/3}

v = 3869 m/s

A V = 108-V source is connected in series with an R = 1.1-kΩ resistor and an L = 34-H inductor and the current is allowed to rea
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given an RL circuit

A voltage source of.

V = 108V

A resistor of resistance

R = 1.1-kΩ = 1100 Ω

And inductor of inductance

L = 34 H

After he inductance has been fully charged, the switch is open and it connected to the resistor in their own circuit, so as to discharge the inductor

A. Time the inductor current will reduce to 12% of it's initial current

Let the initial charge current be Io

Then, final current is

I = 12% of Io

I = 0.12Io

I / Io = 0.12

The current in an inductor RL circuit is given as

I = Io ( 1—exp(-t/τ)

Where τ is time constant and it is given as

τ = L/R = 34/1100 = 0.03091A

So,

I = Io ( 1—exp(-t/τ))

I / Io = ( 1—exp(-t/τ))

Where I/Io = 0.12

0.12 = 1—exp(-t/τ)

0.12 — 1 = —exp(-t/τ)

-0.88 = -exp(-t/0.03091)

0.88 = exp(-t/0.03091)

Take In of both sides

In(0.88) = In(exp(-t/0.03091)

-0.12783 = -t/0.030901

t = -0.12783 × 0.030901

t = 3.95 × 10^-3 seconds

t = 3.95 ms

B. Energy stored in inductor is given as

U = ½Li²

So, the current at this time t = 3.95ms

I = Io ( 1—exp(-t/τ))

Where Io = V/R

Io = 108/1100 = 0.0982 A

Now,

I = Io ( 1—exp(-t/τ))

I = 0.0982(1 — exp(-3.95 × 10^-3 / 0.030901))

I = 0.0982(1—exp(-0.12783)

I = 0.0982 × 0.12

I = 0.01178

I = 11.78mA

Therefore,

U = ½Li²

U = ½ × 34 × 0.01178²

U = 2.36 × 10^-3 J

U = 2.36 mJ
