A charging RC circuit controls the intermittent windshield wipers in a car. The emf is 12.0 V. The wipers are triggered when the

voltage across the 125 mu or micro F capacitor reaches 10.0 V; then the capacitor is quickly discharged (through a much smaller resistor) and the cycle repeats. What resistance should be used in the charging circuit if the wipers are to operate once every 1.80 s?

Answer:

R=803k\Omega

Explanation:

We have the following information,

V_0 = 12V\\V=10V\\c= 1.25*10^{-6}F\\t=1.8s

We apply the equation for capacitor charging the voltage across it,

V=V_0 (1-e^{-t/x})\\e^{-t/x}=1-(\frac{V}{V_0})\\-\frac{t}{Rc}=ln(\frac{V}{V_0})\\R=-\frac{t}{ln(\frac{V}{V_0})*c}

Replacing values,

R=-\frac{1.8}{ln(10/12)*1.25*10^{-6}}

R=803k\Omega

You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car. The car goes up a 11-m-hi
True [87]

Answer:

m = maximum mass of the coaster = 410 kg

d = maximum spring compression = 2.3 m

h = maximum height of the track = 11 m

H = maximum difference in height of the track = 19 m

g = acceleration by gravity = 9.8 m/s²

k = spring constant (without safety margin) = ?

K = spring constant (with safety margin) = ?

V = maximum speed of the coaster = ?

The gravitational potential energy of the coaster on the top of the 11 m high hill (relative to its initial starting point) is:

PEg = m g h

PEg = (410 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (11 m)

PEg = 44198 J

To reach that height, the elastic potential energy stored in the spring must be the same, so:

PEg = PEe = k d² / 2

(44198 J) = k (2.3 m)² / 2

k = 16710 N/m

Adding 14% to that value, you get:

K = 1.14 (16710 N/m)

K = 19045 N/m - answer spring constant

When fully compressed, the elastic potential energy stored in the spring is:

PEe = K d² / 2

PEe = (19045 N/m) (2.3m)² / 2

PEe = 51326 J

The difference in height between the starting point and the lowest point of the track is:

Δh = H - h

Δh = (19 m) - (11 m)

Δh = 8 m

So the initial gravitational potential energy of 330 kg coaster, relative to the lowest point, is

PEg = m g Δh

PEg = (340 kg) (9.8 m/s) (8 m)

PEg = 26656 J

The total energy of the coaster at its starting point (again, relative to the lowest point) is:

TE = PEe + PEg

TE = (51326J) + (26656 J)

TE = 77982J

At the lowest point of the track, all that energy is converted to kinetic energy, so the speed at that point will be:

TE = KE = m V² / 2

(77982 J) = (340kg) V² / 2

V = 21.46 m/s - answer maximum speed

The property of matter that determines the direction of heat flow is the
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Temperature

Explanation:

The heat flows from high temperature to low temperature.So we can say that temperature is the property that decide the direction of heat flow.Like in the electric system current flow high voltage to low voltage ,so we can say that voltage is the property which determine the direction of current flow.

So the answer is Temperature.
