Some tropical butterflies can reach speeds of up to 11 m/s. Suppose a butterfly flies at a speed of 6.0m/s while another flying

insect some distance ahead flies in the same direction with a constant speed. The butterfly then increases its speed at a constant rate of 1.4m/s2 and catches up to the other insect 3.0s later. How far the butterfly travel during the race

Answer:

24.3 m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

$S=ut+0.5at^{2}$ where s is the distance, u is initial velocity, t is time and a is acceleration

Substituting u for 6 m/s, t for 3 s, a for 1.4 m/s2 we obtain

$S=6*3+(0.5*1.4*3^{2}=18+6.3=24.3 m

A 120-V rms voltage at 1000 Hz is applied to an inductor, a 2.00-μF capacitor and a 100-Ω resistor, all in series. If the rms va

Answer:

The inductance of the inductor is 35.8 mH

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 120-V

Frequency = 1000 Hz

Capacitor $C= 2.00\mu F$

Current = 0.680 A

We need to calculate the inductance of the inductor

Using formula of current

$I = \dfrac{V}{Z}$

$Z=\sqrt{R^2+(L\omega-\dfrac{1}{C\omega})^2}$

Put the value of Z into the formula

$I=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{R^2+(L\omega-\dfrac{1}{C\omega})^2}}$

Put the value into the formula

$0.680=\dfrac{120}{\sqrt{(100)^2+(L\times2\pi\times1000-\dfrac{1}{2\times10^{-6}\times2\pi\times1000})^2}}$

$L=35.8\ mH$

Hence, The inductance of the inductor is 35.8 mH

A Carnot heat engine uses a hot reservoir consisting of a large amount of boiling water and a cold reservoir consisting of a lar

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

$W=4037.36\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of ice melted, $m=3.3\times10^{-2}\ kg$

time taken by the ice to melt, $t=5\ min=300\ s$

latent heat of the ice, $L=3.34\times 10^5\ J$

Now the heat rejected by the Carnot engine:

$Q_R=m.L$

$Q_R=0.033\times 3.34\times 10^5$

$Q_R=11022\ J$

Since we have boiling water as hot reservoir so:

$T_H=373\ K$

The cold reservoir is ice, so:

$T_L=273\ K$

Now the efficiency:

$\eta=1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}$

$\eta=1-\frac{273}{373}$

$\eta=26.81\%$

Now form the law of energy conservation:

Heat supplied:

$Q_S-W=Q_R$

where:

$Q_S=$ heat supplied to the engine

$Q_S-\eta\times Q_S=Q_R$

$Q_S(1-\eta)=Q_R$

$Q_S=\frac{11022}{1-0.2681}$

$Q_S=15059.36\ J$

Now the work done:

$W=Q_S-Q_R$

$W=15059.36-11022$

$W=4037.36\ J$
