Answer:

(a). The time constant of the circuit is 2.17.

(b). The potential difference across the capacitor at t=17.0 s is 0.0396 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial potential difference = 100 V

Potential difference across the capacitor = 1.00 V

(a). We need to calculate the time constant of the circuit

Using formula of potential difference

V(t)=V_{0}e^{\dfrac{-t}{RC}}

Put the value into the formula

1.00=100e^{\dfrac{-10.0}{RC}}

0.01=e^{\dfrac{-10.0}{RC}}

On taking ln

ln(0.01)=\dfrac{-10}{RC}

RC=\dfrac{-10}{ln(0.01)}

RC=2.17

(b). We need to calculate the potential difference across the capacitor at t=17.0 s

Using formula again

V(17)=100e^{\dfrac{-17}{2.17}}

V{17}=0.0396\ V

Hence, (a). The time constant of the circuit is 2.17.

(b). The potential difference across the capacitor at t=17.0 s is 0.0396 V.

Heat transfer between two substances is affected by specific heat and the
IgorLugansk [536]

The correct answer is D. Amount of time and area of physical contact between the substances.

Explanation:

Heat transfer refers to the flow of thermal energy or heat between two or more objects. This process involves multiple factors and implies heat from the hottest object goes to the coldest one until there is an equilibrium. To begin, heat transfer depends on the amount of thermal energy in the objects because objects must have a different amount of thermal energy for heat to flow.

Besides this, the amount of energy that flows depends on the time and the contact between the substances of objects. Indeed, objects need to be in contact or close to each other for heat to transfer, and the time needs to be enough for the process to occur. For example, if you place a pot over the fire just for a few seconds it is likely the heat transferred is minimal, which does not occur if you leave the pot more time. At the same time if the pot is in close contact with fire more heat will be transferred.-

Firemen are shooting a stream of water at a burning building. A high-pressure hose shoots out the water with a speed of 26.0 m/s
alekssr [168]

Answer:

a) θ = 58.3º

b) vfh = 13.7 m/s

c) g = -9.8 m/s2

d) h = 22.2 m

e) vfb = 15.5 m/s

Explanation:

a)

  • Assuming that gravity is the only influence that causes an acceleration to the water, due to it is always downward, since both directions are independent each other, in the horizontal direction, the water moves at a constant speed.
  • Since the velocity vector has a magnitude of 26.0 m/s, we can find its horizontal component as follows:
  • vₓ₀ = v * cos θ (1)
  • where θ is the angle between the water and the horizontal axis (which we define as the x-axis, being positive to the right).
  • Applying the definition of average velocity, taking the end of the hose like the origin, and making t₀ = 0, we can write the following expression:

        x_{f} = v_{ox} * t = v_{o} * cos \theta * t  (2)

  • Replacing by the givens of xf = 41.0m, t = 3.00 s, and v=26.0 m/s, we can solve for the angle of elevation θ, as follows:

        cos \theta = \frac{x_{f} }{v*t} = \frac{41.0m}{26.0m/s*3.00s} = 0.526 (3)

  • ⇒θ = cos⁻¹ (0.526) = 58.3º (4)

b)

  • At the highest point in its trajectory, just before starting to fall, the vertical component of the velocity is just zero.
  • Since the horizontal component keeps constant during all the journey, we can conclude that the speed at this point is just v₀ₓ, that we can find easily from (1) replacing by the values of v and cos θ, as follows:
  • vₓ₀ = v * cos θ = 26.0 m/s * 0.526 = 13.7 m/s. (5)

c)

  • At any point in the trajectory, the only acceleration present is due to the action of gravity, which accepted value is -9.8 m/s2 (taking the upward direction on the vertical y-axis as positive)

d)

  • Since we know the time when the water strikes the building, it will be the same for the vertical movement, so, we can use the kinematic equation for vertical displacement, as follows:

       \Delta y = v_{oy} * t - \frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} (6)

  • Our only unknown remains v₀y, which can be obtained in the same way than the horizontal component:
  • v₀y = v * sin θ = 26.0 m/s * 0.85 = 22.1 m/s (7)
  • Replacing (7) in (6), we get:

       \Delta y = 22.1 m/s* 3.0s - \frac{1}{2} *9.8m/s2*(3.00s)^{2} = 22.2 m (8)

e)

  • When the water hits the building the velocity vector, has two components, the horizontal vₓ and the vertical vy.
  • The horizontal component, since it keeps constant, is just v₀x:
  • v₀ₓ = 13.7 m/s
  • The vertical component can be found applying the definition of acceleration (g in this case), solving for the final velocity, as follows:

       v_{fy} = v_{oy} - g*t  (9)

  • Replacing by the time t (a given), g, and  v₀y from (7), we can solve (9) as follows:

       v_{fy} = 22.1 m/s - 9.8m/s2*3.00s = -7.3 m/s  (10)

  • Since we know the values of both components (perpendicular each other), we can find the magnitude of the velocity vector (the speed, i.e. how fast is it moving), applying the Pythagorean Theorem to v₀ₓ and v₀y, as follows:

       v_{f} = \sqrt{(13.7m/s)^{2} +(-7.3m/s)^{2}} = 15.5 m/s (11)
