If you wish to take a picture of a bullet traveling at 500 m/s, then a very brief flash of light produced by an RC discharge thr

ough a flash tube can limit blurring. Assuming 1.00 mm of motion during one RC constant is acceptable, and given that the flash is driven by a 503 µF capacitor, what is the resistance in the flash tube?

Answer:

Resistance in the flash tube, $R=3.97\times 10^{-3}\ \Omega$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the bullet, v = 500 m/s

Distance between one RC constant, d = 1 mm = 0.001 m

Capacitance, $C=503\ \mu F=503\times 10^{-6}\ F$

The time constant of RC circuit is given by :

$\tau=RC$

R is the resistance in the flash tube

$R=\dfrac{\tau}{C}$ ..........(1)

Speed of the bullet is given by total distance divided by total time taken as :

$v=\dfrac{d}{\tau}$

$\tau=\dfrac{d}{v}$

$\tau=\dfrac{0.001}{500}$

$\tau=0.000002\ s$

Equation (1) becomes :

$R=\dfrac{0.000002}{503\times 10^{-6}}$

$R=3.97\times 10^{-3}\ \Omega$

So, the resistance in the flash tube is $3.97\times 10^{-3}\ \Omega$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

$R=3.98\times 10^{-3} ohm$

Explanation:

We are given that

Speed of bullet=500 m/s

Distance during one RC time constant=d=1 mm= $1\times 10^{-3} m$

Capacitance= $503\mu F=503\times 10^{-6} F$

We have to find the resistance in the flash tube.

$\tau=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{1\times 10^{-3}}{500}$

$\tau=2\times 10^{-6} s$

$\tau =RC$

$R=\frac{\tau}{C}=\frac{2\times 10^{-6}}{503\times 10^{-6}}$

$R=3.98\times 10^{-3} ohm$

Hence, the resistance in the flash tube= $3.98\times 10^{-3} ohm$

When a certain air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is connected across a battery, it acquires a charge of magnitude 172 μC on ea

crimeas [40]

Answer:

k = 2.279

Explanation:

Given:

Magnitude of charge on each plate, Q = 172 μC

Now,

the capacitance, C of a capacitor is given as:

C = Q/V

where,

V is the potential difference

Thus, the capacitance due to the charge of 172 μC will be

C = $\frac{(172\ \mu C)}{V}$

Now, when the when the additional charge is accumulated

the capacitance (C') will be

C' = $\frac{(172+220)\ \mu C)}{V}$

or

C' = $\frac{(392)\ \mu C)}{V}$

now the dielectric constant (k) is given as:

$k=\frac{C'}{C}$

substituting the values, we get

$k=\frac{\frac{(392\ \mu C)}{V}}{\frac{(172)\ \mu C)}{V}}$

or

k = 2.279

Can anyone solve these for my by using unit vectors? Can you also please show your work

Oxana [17]

4. The Coyote has an initial position vector of $\vec r_0=(15.5\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\jmath$ .

4a. The Coyote has an initial velocity vector of $\vec v_0=\left(3.5\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\,\vec\imath$ . His position at time $t$ is given by the vector

$\vec r=\vec r_0+\vec v_0t+\dfrac12\vec at^2$

where $\vec a$ is the Coyote's acceleration vector at time $t$ . He experiences acceleration only in the downward direction because of gravity, and in particular $\vec a=-g\,\vec\jmath$ where $g=9.80\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ . Splitting up the position vector into components, we have $\vec r=r_x\,\vec\imath+r_y\,\vec\jmath$ with

$r_x=\left(3.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t$

$r_y=15.5\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2$

The Coyote hits the ground when $r_y=0$ :

$15.5\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=1.8\,\mathrm s$

4b. Here we evaluate $r_x$ at the time found in (4a).

$r_x=\left(3.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(1.8\,\mathrm s)=6.3\,\mathrm m$

5. The shell has initial position vector $\vec r_0=(1.52\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\jmath$ , and we're told that after some time the bullet (now separated from the shell) has a position of $\vec r=(3500\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\imath$ .

5a. The vertical component of the shell's position vector is

$r_y=1.52\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2$

We find the shell hits the ground at

$1.52\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=0.56\,\mathrm s$

5b. The horizontal component of the bullet's position vector is

$r_x=v_0t$

where $v_0$ is the muzzle velocity of the bullet. It traveled 3500 m in the time it took the shell to fall to the ground, so we can solve for $v_0$ :

$3500\,\mathrm m=v_0(0.56\,\mathrm s)\implies v_0=6300\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

Which of the following best describes the term thermal energy? Choose one: A. The energy of an object in motion due to its mass

o-na [289]

Answer:

The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

The energy a particle has because of its charge and its position relative to another particle is called thermal energy.
It is the energy that comes from heat. This is generated by the movement of the particles in an object.
Thermal energy is the energy an object or system has due to the movement of particles within.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

17. In which layer does mantle convection occur?

Anarel [89]

Answer:

D. Asthenosphere

Explanation:

The asthenosphere is relatively plastic part of the mantle which underlies the brittle lithosphere. In the asthenosphere, it is generally believed that the rocks are in ductile state and easily moves. It is the site of convection within the earth. In mantle convection, hot and light materials rises and keeps moving into upper crustal levels till they solidify. Here also, cold and denser materials sinks deeper till they turn to melt. This differences in temperature and density sets up a convective cell within the mantle. Several convective cells are in the mantle.
