His average speed all the way is

   (50 meters) / (5 sec) = 10 m/s .

But, if the acceleration is uniform all the way down, then

Average speed = (1/2) (start speed + end speed)

Start speed = 0.
So
   Average speed = (1/2) (0 + end speed)

   = (1/2) of end speed .

   10 m/s = (1/2) of end speed

   End speed (at the bottom) = 20 m/s .

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

      = (20 m/s) / (5 sec)

   =    4 m/s² .

if the instantaneous current in the circuit is giveen by I=3 sin theta amperes, the rms value of the current will be

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

$I_{rms}=2.12\ A$

Explanation:

Given that,

The instantaneous current in the circuit is giveen by :

$I=3\sin\theta\ A$

We need to find the rms value of the current.

The general equation of current is given by :

$I=I_o\sin\theta$

It means, $I_o=3\ A$

We know that,

$I_{rms}=\dfrac{I_o}{\sqrt2}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{\sqrt2}\\\\=2.12\ A$

So, the rms value of current is 2.12 A.

A linear accelerator uses alternating electric fields to accelerate electrons to close to the speed of light. A small number of

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

8.1 x 10^13 electrons passed through the accelerator over 1.8 hours.

Explanation:

The total charge accumulated in 1.8 hours will be:

Total Charge = I x t = (-2.0 nC/s)(1.8 hrs)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

Total Charge = - 12960 nC = - 12.96 x 10^(-6) C

Since, the charge on one electron is e = - 1.6 x 10^(-19) C

Therefore, no. of electrons will be:

No. of electrons = Total Charge/Charge on one electron

No. of electrons = [- 12.96 x 10^(-6) C]/[- 1.6 x 10^(-19) C]

<u>No. of electrons = 8.1 x 10^13 electrons</u>

An object glides on a horizontal tabletop with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.5. If its initial velocity is 4.3 m/s, how

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.87 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of the object, u = 4.3 m/s

The coefficient of kinetic friction between horizontal tabletop and the object is 0.5

We need to find the time taken by the object for the object to come to rest i.e. final velocity will be 0.

Using first equation of motion to find it as :

$v=u+at$

a is the acceleration, here, $a=\mu g$

$0=u+\mu gt$

$t=\dfrac{u}{\mu g}\\\\t=\dfrac{4.3}{0.5\times 9.8}\\\\t=0.87\ s$

So, the time taken by the object to come at rest is 0.87 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
