The unit used to measure electric current is the ampere (AA). Now, assume that the current delivered at a wall socket reaches th

e value 3.8 AA ten times in a time interval of 0.17 ss. What is the period TTT with which the current at the wall socket changes?

The period T with which the current at the wall socket changes is 0.017 s.

It also ranges from 0.155 s to 0.0189 s since the cycles is not given in the question.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The current reaches 3.8 A once for every cycle. So there must have been 10 cycles (10 periods) in 0.17 s.  

Using 'T' for period:

                                10 T = 0.17  

                                      T = 0.17 / 10  

                                     T  = 0.017 s.

The question doesn't tell about the cycles and so we assume it as 10 cycles. If there are 9 cycles due to the current 3.8 A at the exact beginning and end of 0.17 s. This would make the period T as

                              0.17 / 9 = 0.0189 s approx.

Likewise, if the 3.8 A occurs at the end of the 1st cycle, 11 cycles would have passed during 0.17 s.

In that case the period = 0.17 / 11 = 0.155 s approx.

So T could be in the range from 0.155 s to 0.0189 s.

Two identical tiny spheres of mass m =2g and charge q hang from a non-conducting strings, each of length L = 10cm. At equilibriu
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

0.247 μC

Explanation:

As both sphere will be at the same level at wquilibrium, the direction of the electric force will be on the x axis. As you can see in the picture below, the x component of the tension of the string of any of the spheres should be equal to the electric force of repulsion. And its y component will be equal to the weight of one sphere. We can use trigonometry to find the components of the tensions:

F_y:  T_y - W = 0\\T_y = m*g = 0.002 kg *9.81m/s^2 = 0.01962 N

T_y = T_*cos(50)\\T = \frac{T_y}{cos(50)} = 0.0305 N

T_x = T*sin(50) = 0.0234 N

The electric force is given by the expression:

F = k*\frac{q_1*q_2}{r^2}

In equilibrium, the distance between the spheres will be equal to 2 times the length of the string times sin(50):

r = 2*L*sin(50) = 2 * 0.1m * sin(50) 0.1532 m

And k is the coulomb constan equal to 9 *10^9 N*m^2/C^2. q1 y q2 is the charge of each particle, in this case, they are equal.

F_x = T_x - F_e = 0\\T_x = F_e = k*\frac{q^2}{r^2}

q = \sqrt{T_x *\frac{r^2}{k}} = \sqrt{0.0234 N * \frac{(0.1532m)^2}{9*10^9 N*m^2/C^2} } = 2.4704 * 10^-7 C

An automobile engine delivers 55.0 hp. How much time will it take for the engine to do 6.22 × 105 J of work? One horsepower is e
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

15.2 s

Explanation:

Convert hp to W:

55.0 hp × 746 W/hp = 41,030 W

Power = energy / time

41030 W = 6.22×10⁵ J / t

t = 15.2 s
