Answer:

I = 0.625 Amp

Explanation:

Given:-

- The capacitance of the capacitor, C = 1.50 uF

- The capacitor charges through a resistance, R = 12.0 ohms

- The potential difference of battery, V = 10.0 V

Find:-

What will be the current when the capacitor has acquired 1/4 of its maximum charge?

Solution:-

- Note that the charge is increasing with time while the current across the capacitor decreases. But both obey the exponential equations.

- The charge (Q) obeys the equation:

Q = Q_max* ( 1 - e^(-t/RC))

- While the current I obeys the relationship:

I = I_max* ( e^(-t/RC) )

- When the charge hs taken 1/4 of its maximum value we can write:

0.25*Q_max = Q_max* ( 1 - e^(-t/RC))

0.25 = ( 1 - e^(-t/RC))

e^(-t/RC) = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

- Where the current across the capacitor at this time would be:

I = I_max* ( e^(-t/RC) )

Where, I_max = V / R = ( 10 / 12 )

I = ( 10 / 12 )*( 3 / 4 )

I = 0.625 Amp

In class we calculated the range of a projectile launched on flat ground. Consider instead, a projectile is launched down-slope

zysi [14]

Answer:

With an initial speed of 10m/s at an angle 30° below the horizontal, and a height of 8m, the projectile travels 7.49m horizontally before it lands.

Explanation:

Since the horizontal motion is independent from the vertical motion, we can consider them separated. The horizonal motion has a constant speed, because there is no external forces in the horizontal axis. On the other hand, the vertical motion actually is affected by the gravitational force, so the projectile will be accelerated down with a magnitude $g$ .

If we have the initial velocity $v_o$ and its angle $\theta$ , we can obtain the vertical component of the velocity $v_{oy}$ using trigonometry:

$v_{oy}=v_osin\theta$

Therefore, if we know the height at which the projectile was launched, we can obtain the final velocity using the formula:

$v_{fy}^{2} =v_{oy}^{2}+2gy\\\\ v_{fy}=\sqrt{v_{oy}^{2}+2gy }$

Next, we compute the time the projectile lasts to reach the ground using the definition of acceleration:

$g=\frac{v_{fy}-v_{oy}}{\Delta t} \\\\\Delta t= \frac{v_{fy}-v_{oy}}{g}=\frac{\sqrt{v_{oy}^{2}+2gy} -v_{oy}}{g}$

Finally, from the equation of horizontal motion with constant speed, we have that:

$x=v_{ox}\Delta t= v_{ox}\frac{\sqrt{v_{oy}^{2}+2gy} -v_{oy}}{g}$

For example, if the projectile is launched at an angle 30° below the horizontal with an initial speed of 10m/s and a height 8m, we compute:

$v_{ox}=10\frac{m}{s} cos30=8.66\frac{m}{s}\\v_{oy}=10\frac{m}{s} sin30=5\frac{m}{s}\\\\x=8.66\frac{m}{s} \frac{\sqrt{(5\frac{m}{s}) ^{2}+2(9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}})8m}-5\frac{m}{s} }{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} } } =7.49m$

In words, the projectile travels 7.49m horizontally before it lands.
