Answer:

3 A

Explanation:

The relationship between voltage, current and resistance in a conductor is expressed by Ohm's law, which states that:

$V=RI$

where:

V is the potential difference across the conductor

R is the resistance of the conductor

I is the current flowing through it

In this problem, for this flashlight we have:

V = 90 V is the potential difference

$R=30 \Omega$ is the resistance of the flashlight

Solving for I, we find the current:

$I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{90}{30}=3 A$

Two transverse waves travel along the same taut string inopposite directions. the waves are described by following equations use

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: y'=2Asin(kx)cos(wt)

Explanation:

Let y1=A sin (kx + wt) be the first wave

y2=A sin (kx - wt) be the second wave in the opposite direction (which we showed by putting a negative sign between the terms kx and wt)

Please do note that both wave have the same attributes (that's Amplitude, wave number and angular frequency) because they are formed on the same medium by the same source just that their directions are opposite.

By super imposing these 2 waves, we have a resulting singular wave representing both wave (law of superimposition) with a resulting value of vertical displacement y'.

Thus y' = y1 + y2.

Let us do the math.

y'=A sin (kx + wt) + A sin (kx - wt)

By factoring A out, we have that

y' = A [ sin (kx + wt) + sin (kx - wt)]

For simplicity let us use the substitution

Let (kx + wt) = a and (kx - wt) =b

Hence we have that

y' = A [sin a + sin b].

From trigonometric ratio

sin a + sin b = 2sin[(a+b)/2] * cos [(a - b)/2]

By recalling that (kx + wt) = a and (kx - wt) =b

sin a + sin b = 2sin [(kx +wt +kx-wt) /2] * cos [(kx +wt - (kx-wt))/2]

Thus we have that

sin a + sin b = 2sin [(kx+wt+kx-wt)/2] * cos[(kx+wt-kx+wt)/2]

By collecting like terms in the bracket we have that

sin a + sin b = 2sin[2kx/2] * cos [2wt/2]

By dividing

sin a + sin b = 2sin(kx) cos(wt)

Now let us get the final resultant vertical displacement (y')

Recall that

y' = A [sin a + sin b]. and we already deduced that

sin a + sin b = 2sin(kx) cos(wt)

Finally,

y' = A [2sin(kx) cos(wt)] which is

y'=2Asin(kx)cos(wt)...... Final answer

The table below shows the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for a period of 50 years.

yan [13]

Answer: The level of CO2 has risen.

Explanation:

From the table shown, we can see that the quantity of CO₂ in the atmosphere has steadily risen since the year 1960 going from 317 CO₂PPM in that year to 390 CO₂PPM in 2010.

This is a cause for alarm because with so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, there will be an even greater greenhouse effect that will contribute to global warming.

A cart, which has a mass of 2.30 kg is sitting at the top of an inclined plane, which is 4.50 meters long and meets the horizont

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

a) The gravitational potential energy before the cart rolls down the incline is 24.6 J.

b) The magnitude of the force that causes the cart to roll down is 5.47 N.

c) The acceleration of the cart is 2.38 m/s²

d) It takes the cart 1.94 s to reach the bottom of the incline.

e) The velocity of the cart at the bottom of the inclined plane is 4.62 m/s.

f) The kinetic energy of the cart as it reaches the bottom of the incline is 24.6 J.

g) The work done by the gravitational force is 24.6 J.

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The gravitational potential energy is calculated using the following equation:

EP = m · g · h

Where:

EP = gravitational potential energy.

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height at which the object is located.

The height of the inclined plane can be calculated using trigonomoetry:

sin 14.0° = height / lenght

sin 14.0° = height / 4.50 m

4.50 m · sin 14.0° = height

height = 1.09 m

Then, the gravitational potential energy will be:

EP = m · g · h

EP = 2.30 kg · 9.81 m/s² · 1.09 m = 24.6 J

The gravitational potential energy before the cart rolls down the incline is 24.6 J.

b) Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem and the forces acting on the cart. The force that causes the cart to accelerate down the incline is the horizontal component of the weight (Fwx in the figure). The magnitude of this force can be obtained using trigonometry:

sin 14° = Fwx / Fw

The weight of the cart (Fw) is calculated as follows:

Fw = m · g

Fw = 2.30 kg · 9.81 m/s²

Fw = 22.6 N

Then, the x-component of the weight will be:

FW · sin 14° = Fwx

22.6 N · sin 14° = Fwx

Fwx = 5.47 N

The magnitude of the force that causes the cart to roll down is 5.47 N.

c)Using the equation of Fwx we can calculate the acceleration of the cart:

Fwx = m · a

Where "m" is the mass of the cart and "a" is the acceleration.

Fwx / m = a

5.47 N / 2.30 kg = a

a = 2.38 m/s²

The acceleration of the cart is 2.38 m/s²

d) To calculate the time it takes the cart to reach the bottom of the incline, let´s use the equation of position of the cart:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the cart at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

a = acceleration.

t = time.

Considering the initial position as the point at which the cart starts rolling (x0 = 0) and knowing that the cart starts from rest (v0 = 0), let´s find the time it takes the cart to travel the 4.50 m of the inclined plane:

x = 1/2 · a · t²

4.50 m = 1/2 · 2.38 m/s² · t²

2 · 4.50 m / 2.38 m/s² = t²

t = 1.94 s

It takes the cart 1.94 s to reach the bottom of the incline.

e) The velocity of the cart at the bottom of the inclined plane can be obtained using the following equation:

v = v0 + a · t

v = 0 m/s + 2.38 m/s² · 1.94 s

v = 4.62 m/s

The velocity of the cart at the bottom of the inclined plane is 4.62 m/s.

f) The kinetic energy can be calculated using the following equation:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

m = mass of the cart.

v = velocity of the cart.

KE = 1/2 · 2.30 kg · (4.62 m/s)²

KE = 24.6 J

The kinetic energy of the cart as it reaches the bottom of the incline is 24.6 J.

The gain of kinetic energy is equal to the loss of gravitational potential energy.

g) The work done by the gravitational force can be calculated using the work-energy theorem: the work done by the gravitational force is equal to the negative change in the gravitational potential energy:

W = -ΔPE

W = -(final potential energy - initial potential energy)

W = -(0 - 24.6 J)

W = 24.6 J

This can also be calculated using the definition of work:

W = Fw · d

Where "d" is the distance traveled in the direction of the force, that is the height of the inclined plane:

W = 22.6 N · 1.09 m = 24.6 J.

The work done by the gravitational force is 24.6 J.
