Answer:

I= 27.09 A

Explanation:

Power of electric heater = 1500W= 1.50*10³ W

Power of toaster = 750W = 7.5*10²W

Power of electric grill = 1000W =1*10³ W

Voltage = 120V

By using formula P=VI ie I = $\frac{P}{V}$

A) Current used by electric heater I₃ = $\frac{1.50*10^3}{120}$

I₃ = 12.5 A

B) Current used by toaster I₂ = $\frac{750}{120}$

I₂ = 6.25 A

C) Current used by electric grill I₃ = $\frac{1000}{120}$

I₃ = 8.34 A

Current used by all three appliances is

I=I₁+I₂+I₃

I=12.5+6.25+8.34

I= 27.09 A

A thin insulating rod is bent into a semicircular arc of radius a, and a total electric charge Q is distributed uniformly along

storchak [24]

Answer:

$v = \frac{kQ}{a}$

Explanation:

We define the linear density of charge as:

$\lambda = \frac{Q}{L}$

Where L is the rod's length, in this case the semicircle's length L = πr

The potential created at the center by an differential element of charge is:

$dv = \frac{kdq}{r}$

where k is the coulomb's constant

r is the distance from dq to center of the circle

Thus.

$v = \int_{}^{}\frac{kdq}{a}$

$v = \frac{k}{a}\int_{}^{}dq$

$v = \frac{kQ}{a}$ Potential at the center of the semicircle

What conventions are used in SI to indicate units

klemol [59]

Answer:

<u>Conventions used in SI to indicate units are as follows:</u>

Only singular form of units are used. for example: use kg and not kgs.
Do not use full stop after the abbreviations of any unit. for example: do not use kg. or cm.
Use one space between last numeric digit and SI unit. for example: 10 cm, 9 km.
Symbols and words should not be mixed. for example: use Kilogram per cubic and not kilogram/m3.
While writing numerals, only the symbols of the units should be written. for example: use 10 cm and not Ten cm.
Units named after a scientist should be written in small letters. for example: newton, henry.
Degree sign should not be used when the kelvin unit is used. for exmaple: use 37° and not 37°k

A ball of mass M collides with a stick with moment of inertia I = βml2 (relative to its center, which is its center of mass). Th

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Part a)

$v_2 = \frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})}$

Part b)

$v_1 = v_0 - \frac{m}{M}(\frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})})$

Explanation:

Since the ball and rod is an isolated system and there is no external force on it so by momentum conservation we will have

$Mv_o = M v_1 + m v_2$

here we also use angular momentum conservation

so we have

$M v_o d = M v_1 d + \beta mL^2 \omega$

also we know that the collision is elastic collision so we have

$v_o = (v_2 + d\omega) - v_1$

so we have

$\omega = \frac{v_o + v_1 - v_2}{d}$

also we know

$M v_o d - M v_1 d = \beta mL^2(\frac{v_o + v_1 - v_2}{d})$

also we know

$v_1 = v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2$

so we have

$M v_o d - M(v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2)d = \beta mL^2(\frac{v_o + v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2 - v_2}{d})$

$mv_2 d = \beta mL^2\frac{2v_o}{d} - \beta mL^2(1 + \frac{m}{M})\frac{v_2}{d}$

now we have

$(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})v_2 = \frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}$

$v_2 = \frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})}$

Part b)

Now we know that speed of the ball after collision is given as

$v_1 = v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2$

so it is given as

$v_1 = v_0 - \frac{m}{M}(\frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})})$
