An ac source of period T and maximum voltage V is connected to a single unknown ideal element that is either a resistor, and ind

uctor, or a capacitor. At time t = 0 the voltage is zero and increasing toward a maximum. At time t = T/4 the current in the unknown element is equal to zero, and at time t = T/2 the current is I = -I max, where I max is the current amplitude. What is the unknown element?

Answer:

The unknown element is Capacitor.

Explanation:

The sinusoidal voltage is given as:

v(t) = V Sin (ωt + Ф)

Where:

V = Amplitude of Voltage

ω = 2π / T = > Time period (T)

Ф = phase shift

Considering no horizontal phase shift in the wave form, the equation can be written as:

v(t) = V Sin (ωt)--------(1)

Since, current in the capacitor can be given as:

i(t) = C dv(t)/dt = ωCV Cos (ωt)--------(2)

Now, checking all conditions:

At t=0 :

Equation (1) implies:

v(t) = V Sin [(2π/T)(0)] = V Sin (0)

v(t) = 0

The above finding satisfies the condition in the question. Now checking other conditions.

At t = T/4:

Equation (2) implies:

i(t) = ωCV Cos [(2π/T)(T/4)] = ωCV Cos [(π/2)] = ωCV (0)

i(t) = 0

At t = T/2 :

Equation (2) implies:

i(t) = ωCV Cos [(2π/T)(T/2)] = ωCV Cos [(π)] = ωCV (-1)

i(t) = - ωCV = max amplitude of current in negative direction

All three conditions of voltage and currents of question are satisfied with equations of capacitor hence, the unknown element is capacitor.

A race car is travelling around a circular track. The velocity of the car is 20 m/s, the radius of the track is 300 m, and the m
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

μ = 0.136

Explanation:

given,

velocity of the car = 20 m/s

radius of the track = 300 m

mass of the car = 2000 kg

centrifugal force

F_c = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

F_c = \dfrac{2000\times 20^2}{300}

F c = 2666. 67 N

F f= μ N

F f = μ m g

2666.67  =  μ × 2000 × 9.8

μ = 0.136

so, the minimum coefficient of friction between road surface and car tyre is equal to μ = 0.136
