Electronic flash unit cameras contain a capacitor for storing the energy used to produce the flash. In one such unit the flash l

asts for 1/675 s with an average light power output of 2.7❝105 W. (a) If the conversion of electrical energy to light is 95% efficient (the rest of the energy goes to thermal energy) how much energy must be stored in the capacitor for one flash? (b) The capacitor has a potential difference between its plates of 125V when the stored energy equals the value calculated in part (a). What is the capacitance?

Answer:

(A) 421 J energy stored in the capacitor for one flash.

(B) The value of capacitance is 0.0537 F

Explanation:

Given :

(A)

Time t = \frac{1}{675}

Average power P = 2.7 \times 10^{5} W

From power equation,

   P= \frac{E}{t}

So energy in one light is given by,

   E = Pt

  E = 2.7 \times 10^{5} \times \frac{1}{675}  = 400 J

Since efficiency is 95 % so we can write, energy stored in one flash,

E_{tot} = \frac{400}{0.95} = 421 J

(B)

From the formula of energy stored in capacitor,

 E = \frac{1}{2}C V^{2}

Where E = E_{tot} and V = 125 V

 C = \frac{2E}{V^{2} }

 C = \frac{2 \times 421}{15625}

 C = 0.0537 F

Two equal mass carts approach each other with velocities equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. Friction can be neglected
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Since momentum is given by:

\vec{p}=m.\vec{v}

Therefore momentum is a vector quantity in the direction of velocity.

  • Inelastic collision is the type of collision in which the masses combine after collision and start moving in the direction of the greater momentum but here in this case we have the momentum equal and opposite in direction.

<u>This case can be described mathematically as:</u>

m_1.\vec{v_1}=m_2.\vec{v_2}

since the mass and velocity are equal:

m.\vec{v}=m.\vec{v}

net momentum:

p_{net}=0

A racing car reaches a speed of 42 m/s. It then begins a uniform negative acceleration, using its parachute and braking system,
NARA [144]

As per the question the initial speed of the car [ u] is 42 m/s.

The car applied its brake and comes to rest after 5.5 second.

The final velocity [v] of the car will be zero.

From the equation of kinematics we know that

                                         v=u+at [ here a stands for acceleration]

                                         0=42 +5.5a

                                         a =\frac{-42}{5.5} m/s^2

                                          a= -7.64 m/s^2

Here a is taken negative as it the car is decelerating uniformly.

We are asked to calculate the stopping distance .

From equation of kinematics we know that

                                              S=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2  [here S is the distance]

                                                      = 42*5.5 +\frac{1}{2} [-7.64] [5.5]^2 m

                                                       =115.445 m      [ans]
