What is the difference between weight and mass? Give an example of how they are different.

1 answer:

8 0

Mass is the amount of matter it has, while weight is a measurement of the force placed on an object by gravity. An example of how they are different is that mass is always constant while weight varies depending on the location.

A 40.0-mH inductor is connected to a North American electrical outlet (ΔVrms = 120 V, f = 60.0 Hz). Assuming the energy stored i

trasher [3.6K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Inductance, $L=40\ mH=40\times 10^{-3}\ H$

RMS value of voltage, $v_{rms}=120\ V$

Frequency, f = 60 Hz

We need to find the energy stored at t = (1 /185) s. It is assumed that energy stored in the inductor is zero at t = 0. So,

The current flowing through the inductor is given by :

$I_t=\dfrac{V_o}{X_L}\ (sin\ \omega t-\dfrac{\pi}{2})$

$I_t=\dfrac{\sqrt{2} V_{rms}}{X_L}\ (sin\ \omega t-\dfrac{\pi}{2})$

$I_t=\dfrac{120\sqrt{2}}{2\pi f L}\ sin(2\pi f t-\dfrac{\pi}{2})$

$I_t=\dfrac{120\sqrt{2}}{2\pi\times 60\times 40\times 10^{-3}}\ sin(2\pi \times 60\times \dfrac{1}{185})-\dfrac{\pi}{2})$

$I_t=\dfrac{120\sqrt2}{15.07}\ sin(2\pi \times 60\times \dfrac{1}{185}-\dfrac{\pi}{2})$

I = 0.091 A

Energy stored in the inductor is, $U=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2$

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 40\times 10^{-3}\times (0.091)^2$

U = 0.000165 Joules

Hence, this is the required solution.

15) On a cold day, you take in 4.2 L (i.e., 4.2 x 10-3 m3) of air into your lungs at a temperature of 0°C. If you hold your brea

Answer:

4.8L ( i.e 4.8 x 10^-3 m3)

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Initial volume (V1) = 4.2L

Initial temperature (T1) = 0°C

Final temperature (T2) = 37°C

Final volume (V2) =?

Step 2:

Conversion of celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature. This is illustrated below

K = °C + 273

T1 = 0°C = 0°C + 273 = 273K

T2 = 37°C = 37°C + 273 = 310K

Step 3:

Determination of the final volume.

Since the pressure is constant,

Charles' Law equation will be applied as shown below:

V1 /T1 = V2/T2

4.2/273 = V2 /310

Cross multiply to express in linear form

273 x V2 = 4.2 x 310

Divide both side by 273

V2 = (4.2 x 310)/273

V2 = 4.8L ( i.e 4.8 x 10^-3 m3)

Therefore, the volume of the air in the lungs at that point is 4.8L ( i.e 4.8 x 10^-3 m3)
